SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice February Call: Resilient Knowledge: Trust\, Mistrust\, and Manipulation of Open Science Research
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 5\, 2026\nTime: 1:00pm-2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nThe Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice invites you to its February community call on the topic of trust\, mistrust\, and manipulation of open science research. \nWe must confront some uncomfortable situations. Openness does not necessarily equate to trust\, and the ideals of open research do not guarantee integrity. Open and secure research requires us to rethink how we share knowledge and what we want research to be and not be. \nIf we fail to define what we mean by science\, research\, and even the term ‘researcher\,’ then we leave ourselves vulnerable – less grounded in evidence and more at the mercy of shifting opinions. \nThis talk will explore: \n\nThe importance of defining “we” in the research ecosystem:\nHow outside forces have infiltrated open science\nWhy the current system disadvantages integrity\n\nFor librarians\, publishers\, and researchers\, this is not an abstract debate. It goes to the heart of how we build infrastructures\, policies\, and cultures that support trust\, fairness\, and resilience in research. \nLeslie D. McIntosh\, PhD is VP of Research Integrity and Security at Digital Science and leads Forensics Scientometrics (FoSci)\, an initiative using forensic scientometrics to detect manipulation and strengthen trust in research. An academic-turned-entrepreneur\, she founded Ripeta in 2017 to improve research integrity\, which is now a key part of Digital Science. She has advised global governments\, institutions\, and organizations. Her work was the most-read RetractionWatch post of 2022. In 2023\, her influential ideas on achieving equity in research were highlighted in the Guardian and Science. \nThis session will be held in English\, with automated live transcription available in French.

SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Article Club
DESCRIPTION:This month’s article: Thelwall\, M.\, & Jiang\, X. (2025). Is OpenAlex suitable for research quality evaluation and which citation indicator is best? Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology\, 76(12)\, 1660–1681. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.70020 \nDate: February 11\, 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.

SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Coffee Talk: Assessing Research Impact in the Humanities and Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 12\, 2026\nTime: 1:00pm-2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nJoin the Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice for the first in a new series of informal Coffee Talks—casual\, drop-in conversations where members can grab a coffee\, connect with colleagues\, and compare notes on shared questions and emerging practices. Each session will begin with a guest speaker who brings experience and perspective on the featured topic\, followed by a facilitated\, open discussion. \nOur inaugural Coffee Talk will focus on assessing research impact in the humanities and social sciences. Some questions to consider: What are the challenges and the problems with current indicators? What work is being done to develop ways of assessment that are more inclusive and representative of research in these disciplines? \nWe are pleased to welcome Farah Friesen\, Manager of Research & Knowledge Mobilization at the Centre for Advancing Collaborative Healthcare & Education (CACHE) at the University of Toronto. Farah’s work centers on critically examining traditional academic performance indicators\, encouraging alternative perspectives on metrics\, and working towards a broader (re)definition of research and educational impact. \nThis session will not be recorded. French automated transcription will be available.
