Altmetrics: An alternative route for evaluation of the impact of scientific articles
Szarzec, Jakub
Trends in measuring of the impact of research results does not change often. The number of citations is still a traditional way how to quantitative measure the impact of the articles on the scientific community. The presentation will be discussed how innovative Altmetrics tool that uses social networks. It will be offered a comparison between this instrument and the current situation. Do these methods affect the sharing of scientific information? Are social networks the right way for measuring the quality of scholarly publications?

A short story about multi-dimensional research assessment and SciVal applications
Verheggen, Joep
Research assessment is a abroad endeavour. At the root it is an attempt to measure the return on investment in scientific –scholarly research. Research assessment includes the evaluation of research quality and measurements of research inputs, outputs and impacts and embraces both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In his talk the presenter provides a concise overview of developments in research assessment and evaluation practices and will address a conceptual model for multi-dimensional research assessment. He will further address Elsevier’s involvement in research management through its “SciVal” portfolio of research performance, - planning and - funding applications. The presenter will demonstrate how this portfolio can meaningful contribute to both national/regional and institutional assessment exercises. He will subsequently provide a number of examples to illustrate how Governments and/or HE Institutions and organisations like Elsevier can collaborate to improve the quality of Research Management and the assessment exercise process.

Evaluating Research at Levels from National to Institutional
Staros, James V.
Choosing appropriate research metrics is critically important whether one is responsible for research evaluation at the national level, institutional level, or the even the level of the individual researcher. I will discuss how research metrics are employed in several influential national research evaluation systems in the United States, how peer review is employed in the distribution of national research funding, and how individual institutions can evaluate their research programs to better align them with available funding and with national rankings.
