[open-science] Altmetric launches annual research grant

[Stacy Konkiel]

Hello all,

I'm pleased to share the news that Altmetric have launched an annual
research grant of up to £1,500 ($2100 USD) to encourage advancement in the
understanding of alternative research metrics (altmetrics).


The aim of the grant is to fund research that advances the discovery of new
indicators for social, policy, educational or non-traditional scholarly
impact. Once complete, the results from the research will be made publicly
available.


The grant is open globally to anyone doing research in the altmetrics space.


Applications can be submitted between now and 11pm GMT on 15th April 2016.
A detailed submission guide and template is available on the Altmetric
website
<https://www.altmetric.com/altmetric-annual-research-grant-2016/?utm_source=Altmetric%20&utm_medium=List%20serv%20&utm_campaign=researchgrant>
.


I look forward to seeing many great submissions from the Open Science
community!



Sincerely,

Stacy Konkiel
