QUANTIFYING AND ANALYSING SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION ON THE WEB (ASCW'15):
WHAT CAN BIBLIOMETRICS DO FOR YOU? WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR BIBLIOMETRICS?

Workshop at Web Science conference 2015
June 30th, Oxford, UK

== SUMMARY ==

This workshop’s core aim is to advance methodologies for studying and quantifying scholarly communication on the Web by exchanging expertise from bibliometrics on the one hand and all disciplines interested in this domain on the other hand (such as but not limited to computer science, science and technology studies, economics, philosophy, library and information science, sociology).

In order to bring together interested scholars and facilitate fruitful discussions, we apply a roundtable format based on:

- position papers that clearly outline how different disciplines or use cases could profit from selected established approaches and experiences,
- direct responses to each paper by selected discussants (preferably from other disciplines than the position paper’s background) which will also be published,
- and a review process that involves expert reviewers as well as community voting.
