Group discussion (3:00-4:30p)

We’ll split into small groups to discuss key altmetrics issues; topics may include:

• Gaming: how might it happen, and how do we stop it?
• Standards: We’ve got COUNTER for downloads; should there be standards for other altmetrics? What should they look like?
• Visualization: There’s a lot of data. How should we display it?
• Peer review: Could altmetrics replace traditional peer review? Should it? Can we build new publishing models around altmetrics?
• CVs and “impact dashboards”: What does an altmetrics-informed CV look like? Who wants (and doesn’t want) one?
• Publishers: What do publishers want from altmetrics services? How about readers and authors?
• Normalization: How do we compare metrics from different fields or disciplines?

Group presentations and discussion (4:30-5:30p)
