  3. Meneghini, R., Mugnaini, R., & Packer, A. L. (2006). International

    versus national oriented Brazilian scientific journals. A scientometric analysis based on SciELO and JCR-ISI databases. Scientometrics, 69, 529–538. Retrieved from http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11192-006-0168-z Meneghini, R., & Packer, A. L. (2007). Is there science beyond English? Initiatives to increase the quality and visibility of non-English publications might help to break down language barriers in scientific communication. EMBO reports, 8(2), 112–6. doi:10.1038/sj.embor.7400906 Meneghini, R., Packer, A. L., & Nassi-Calò, L. (2008). Articles by latin american authors in prestigious journals have fewer citations. (S. M. Bowyer, Ed.)PloS one, 3(11), e3804. doi:10.1371/journal.pone. 0003804 and some good studies came out of it @juancommander
  4. • new ways gaining visibility • new ways demonstrating visibility

    • good articles can stand out from journal • researchers can stand out for good work @juancommander
  5. • counting some forms of public impact • being rewarded

    for other kinds of impact • incentive to gear research to public(local?) interests • move away from dependencies on measures biased against the South @juancommander
  6. All Place coordinates in the Twitter Decahose 23 October 2012

    to 30 November 2012 http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4366/3654 are you surprised? Twitter is usage is very skewed @juancommander
  7. lets look at SciELO data from articles published in SciELO.br

    in 2012 collected metrics using PLOS ALM App data can be found at http://pkp-alm2.lib.sfu.ca @juancommander
  8. crossref 1522 (8.5%) mendeley 989 (5.5%) pmc 439 (2%) citeulike

    16 (0%) looking at coverage @juancommander
  9. make these metrics prominent on article pages the tried and

    true “shove it in people’s faces” approach @juancommander
  10. hopefully: •change culture around communicating research •open minds to alternative

    measures of impact •attract readers to a different group of journals •give an incentive to do research of public interest @juancommander
  11. We are actively looking for journals especially from Latin America
