SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Article Club
DESCRIPTION:This month’s article: Forchino\, M.\, & Torres-Salinas\, D. (2026). The OpenAlex database in review: Evaluating its applications\, capabilities\, and limitations [Review]. Journal of Informetrics\, 20(2)\, 12\, Article 101800. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2026.101800 \nDate: September 24\, 2026\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET \nThe Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice holds several Article Club Meetings each term. These are regular\, discussion-based gatherings focused on exploring key literature in bibliometrics\, scientometrics\, and research impact. At each meeting\, participants come together for an informal and collegial discussion around a selected article or document chosen for its relevance and interest. Attendees are encouraged to read the material in advance\, allowing for deeper\, more meaningful exchange and shared learning on topics that are often complex. \nTo receive invitations to upcoming Article Club meetings and related communications\, please contact Philippe Boisvert at philippe.boisvert@bibl.ulaval.ca. Learn more about the BRI CoP Article Club Meetings.

SUMMARY:Managing Scholarly Metadata: Creative Solutions to Pervasive Problems
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 24\, 2026\nTime: 2:00pm – 3:00pm ET \nRegistration \nResearch organizations frequently make use of scholarly metadata (i.e. data describing research outputs) to assess\, express\, and optimize the impact of their research. In recent years\, the number of tools and services dedicated to the management and analysis of this metadata has ballooned (including new bibliometric databases\, researcher profile systems\, and AI-driven analysis tools). \nEven as these tools claim to expand the utility of scholarly metadata for research impact\, they tend to understate some of the pervasive complexities of working with this kind of data\, including challenges with inconsistent data standards\, name ambiguity\, and variability in coverage / granularity. \nIn addition to facilitating a conversation about the current state of scholarly metadata in the bibliometrics and research impact community\, this session will highlight three real-world research impact projects that employed creative solutions to the scholarly metadata management challenges presented above: \nSabrina Kirby (McMaster University) will discuss the challenges of mapping broad scholarly metadata to more granular institutional structure within a Research Information Management System (RIMS). \nJames Shelley (Western University) will discuss a project that uses open scholarly metadata and persistent identifiers to power unit-based research newsletters and podcasts. Additionally\, we’ll look at an operational proof-of-concept for automating the mapping\, predictive scheduling\, and metadata changes associated with research funding across competition cycles. \nLoida Pan (NYU Langone Health) will explore a generative AI-based approach to maintaining a faculty publication database. \nThis session is presented by the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice. Presentations will be delivered in English\, with automated live translation available in French.
