[science-at] NISO Altmetrics Standards

[Peter Kraker]

As you might know, NISO is currently preparing altmetrics standards. The excellent white paper is open for comments until July 18. I have taken the opportunity to make the case for open and transparent altmetrics. Some of you might want to add their comments:

I have also recently written a blog post in OKFN Open Science blog on the issue of openness in altmetrics. Comments and critique are welcome:
