Fifth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2024) Tien Giang University. My Tho, Ho Chi Min. Vietnam October 17-19, 2024 Co-located Workshops https://socio.org.uk/stm/workshop/ 1. First Workshop on Text-Based Metrics and Indicators About this workshop Many scientists have disapproved of traditional research assessment systems such as publications, citations, and impact factors. Traditional metrics are obtrusive and based on human judgements, resulting in inconsistent and non-correlative results. In the rapidly evolving landscape of research assessment systems, the emergence and development of non-bibliographic indicators have marked a significant stride toward more reliable evaluation models. This workshop aims to explore innovative research in the rapidly evolving field of text-based indicators, focusing on its integration and application within the broader scope of assessment systems. We warmly welcome submissions from all, regardless of their level of expertise, that demonstrate novel approaches, theoretical insights, and practical applications of text metrics and their role in advancing the field of research assessment systems. You can submit the papers online on the submission page with a note on text-based metrics. ————– 2. First Workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” About this workshop We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” that aims to break new ground in Altmetrics. The workshop will encourage discussion from academic and working experts, which promises to be an enriching experience for professionals and researchers alike. Research Assessment systems are on the rise. New advances in Assessment indicators have enabled the creation of ever more competent evaluation systems that have the potential to contribute to various types of measures. However, this potential to result in a step-change in the deployment of Altmetrics with an acceptable level of reliability is warranted. Many studies comparing Altmetrics findings with other research assessment measures reported conflicting results. Researchers and institutions must unite to transform the unique insights and innovations developed in Altmetrics from lab prototypes into robust and reliable real-life solutions for institutions. In this workshop, we create a platform structured around three specific themes: (1) the Reliability of Altmetrics indicators, (2) Scope and application perspectives, and (3) Limitations and improvements. We encourage researchers to address any issue related to Altmetrics and present their findings. Workshop Chairs 1. Amir Reza Asnafi Shahid Beheshti University. Velenjak Tehran.
