A SHARED GUIDE OF RESULTS INDICATORS?

 

 

Publimetrics Report: towards a Guide to the uses of metrics  (D. Egret & R. Fabre)

 

Steps for a first frame :

 

- A French-German and European project (Joachim SCHÖPFEL: Publimetrics F/D - A Survey involving German TGIR; ERC nomenclature; ESFRI)

 

Identifying Research Fronts in the Web of Science: From metrics to meaning (Martin SZOMSZOR, Institute for Scientific Information, Clarivate)

 

Towards a List of Specifications?

Methods for preparing a guide to the uses of indicators : Jean DAILLANT (SOLEIL), & Navin ALAHARI, Directeur du GANIL

Discussion prepared with TGIRs: SOLEIL, GANIL, Sébastien OLIVEAU (Progedo), Gilbert CAMOIN (ECORD/IODP)

THE USE OF METRICS: WHAT SERVICES FOR THE FUTURE?

 

 

Current practices and examples of TGIR: recent developments in the analysis of scientific results

 

Presentation moderated by RF & DE, with examples of TGIR having started using indicators: IRAM, GANIL, GENCI, SOLEIL

 

Discussion: Current international and European practices: international experiences (Nicolas ALAMANOS, CEA)

 

Research advances:

           New directions of research for the analysis of science (Guillaume CABANAC, IRIT, Univ. Toulouse).

           Relevant Impact Indicators for Science: What can we do with Text Mining? (George Tsatsaronis, Elsevier, Vice President Data Science RCO).

 

Pause

Conclusions

 

Thierry COULHON, Président du Haut Conseil de l’Évaluation de la Recherche et de l’Enseignement Supérieur (HCÉRES)
