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 December Call: ORCID Adoption and Integration Panel: Maximizing Research Impact
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 2\, 2025\nTime: 1:00pm-2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nThe Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice (BRI CoP) invites you to join a panel discussion on ORCID adoption and integration across Canadian research institutions. This session will explore strategies\, tools\, and challenges for maximizing ORCID’s potential to improve researcher visibility and data interoperability. \nToby Malone\, Research Impact Librarian\, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)\nWhile generally acknowledged as a vital academic tool across its campus\, an environmental scan of ORCID uptake at Toronto Metropolitan University showed only a fraction of all faculty were using the tool at all\, let alone maximizing its potential. Since the January 2025 adoption of the ORCID Affiliation Manager\, ORCID integration has grown exponentially at TMU\, led by Research Impact Librarian Toby Malone. In his short talk\, Toby Malone will introduce the adoption process of ORCID Affiliation Manager across a medium-sized faculty body\, along with the challenges and opportunities he discovered along the way. \nNikolas Lamarre\, Canadian Persistent Identifier Community Officer\, Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)\nResearch outputs are often scattered across systems\, making it difficult to see the full picture of scholarly activity. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) bridge these gaps\, linking data to make research information more interoperable\, discoverable and FAIR. Nikolas will highlight the ORCID Data Visualization Tool\, adapted by CRKN\, which integrates data from ORCID\, ROR\, Crossref\, and DataCite to visualize institutional collaboration networks. In alignment with Canada’s National PID Strategy\, upcoming enhancements aim to further deepen insights into researcher activity across the country. \nPierre Lasou\, Scholarly Communications Librarian\, Université Laval\nLaval went live with the DSpace ORCID module in September 2025. Pierre’s talk will focus on the reasons that made them use this advanced module in DSpace (as it requires the use of the entity model) and the challenges they encountered so far while configuring it\, using it and promoting it to their faculty. \nJack Young\, Research Impact & Bibliometrics Librarian\, McMaster University\nJack will explore ORCID integration within McMaster University’s research information management system (Symplectic Elements). He will explain how researchers can link and sync their ORCID with their McMaster-branded researcher profile to ensure accurate publication data and seamless updating. He will also describe how access to enhanced research impact services has been used as an incentive for faculty to keep ORCID up to date. \nThis session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice February Call: A Dataset and Bibliometric Approach to Estimating Annual Article Processing Charges for Six Scholarly Publishers
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, February 4\, 2025\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nJoin the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice for a presentation and discussion on A Dataset and Bibliometric Approach to Estimating Annual Article Processing Charges for Six Scholarly Publishers. \nThe author-pays model\, in which publishers charge authors an article processing charge (APC) to publish their article open access\, is now a well-established and popular revenue source for publishers. Given the prevalence of APCs and emerging models like read-and-publish agreements\, reliable data is crucial for informed decision-making by funders\, libraries\, consortia\, and institutions. However\, estimating these fees is challenging due to the decentralized nature of scholarly publishing and limited transparency around these fees. This presentation by Leigh-Ann Butler and Eric Schares introduces an open dataset of APCs from six scholarly publishers over five years (2019-2023) and outlines the methodology and findings of a study estimating APC expenditures using this dataset. \nLeigh-Ann Butler is the Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Ottawa\, where she supports the library’s open publishing services\, the institutional repository\, and OA investments. She is a Research Associate at the ScholCommLab\, and board member of the Library Publishing Coalition. Prior to uOttawa\, she worked as a policy analyst on open science at the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Her research focuses on scholarly communication\, open scholarship\, bibliometrics\, and science policy. \nEric Schares is the Engineering & Collection Analysis Librarian at Iowa State University in the US\, and a Research Associate with the ScholCommLab at the University of Ottawa\, Canada. He works to analyze publishing trends to support the open access transition in scholarly publishing. His research focuses on bibliometrics\, scholarly communication\, and open science. \nThis session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice December Call – Lightning Talks\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, December 5\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s call of the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice.  \nThis month we are being joined by several of our colleagues for a series of lightning talks! This quick paced event will be a chance to hear from and chat with your colleagues about a broad range of topics related to Bibliometrics and Research Impact.  \nDebbie Chaves – How Can Smaller Universities Report Meaningful Research Metrics? \nBiography: Debbie Chaves is currently the Head of Copyright & Course Resources at Wilfrid Laurier University Library where she previously was the Science Librarian for 17 years. Her BSc was in Medical Physics\, a MSc and PhD in Biophysics and an MLIS from Western University. \nAbstract: Research metrics can measure a variety of results but is heavily dependent on the data contained within specific databases. Smaller research universities must report institutional metrics but may lack the necessary database subscriptions or the manpower to find and visualize appropriate data. To provide specific research metrics to the Office of Research\, the Library was tasked with examining institutional metrics from three different databases\, lens.org\, Web of Science and Open Alex to assess if the dashboard in lens.org would be a sufficient reporting tool. This presentation will step through the results of searching each database for the institution and limited to the 2023-2024 fiscal year. \nMarisa Ruccolo – Introducing the Research Horizon Navigator in InCites B&A \nBiography: Marisa holds an MLIS from McGill University as a second career and is the Customer Success Director for the Americas. She was hired by Clarivate to support Canada in both official languages. She is in the company’s Research & Analytics vertical. \nAbstract: Research Horizon Navigator is a new AI-native module within InCites Benchmarking & Analytics designed to empower academics\, funding agencies\, government research organizations and research strategists to discover new topics emerging from published literature that point to where future breakthroughs are likely to occur. Join the session to learn how you can use Horizon Navigator to: Identify emergent areas of research\, Innovate in areas with velocity\, and Invest in new interdisciplinary fields. \nRoger Reka & Miyang Roh – Demo: The UWindsor Open Access Journal Finder    \nBiographies: Roger Reka (he/him) is a collections librarian at the University of Windsor Leddy Library. Miyang Roh (she/her)\, called Settia\, is originally from South Korea and has been living in Canada for the past three years. She completed her bachelor’s in politics and economics and master’s in Urban Planning. With her MLIS studies she is determined to have a career in academic librarianship. On a lighter note\, she loves cats and has two kitties of her own. \nAbstract: Navigating the open access (OA) publishing landscape can be complex for researchers. To simplify this process\, we developed a Power BI tool that streamlines the search for suitable OA journals. This tool allows researchers to discover both diamond OA journals and subscription-based journals with open access publishing rights licensed by our institution. The interactive dashboard presents data on publication costs\, licensing terms\, and journal-level metrics\, equipping users to make informed decisions about where to publish. \nThis session will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice October Call – Enhancing Citation Integrity through Bibliometrics
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, October 23\, 2024\nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s call of the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice for a session on Enhancing Citation Integrity through Bibliometrics. \nIn the ever-changing world of scholarly publishing\, the increase in questionable journals poses significant risks to the credibility of academic work. This session\, led by Dr. Barbara S. Lancho Barrantes\, will explore the important role of bibliometrics in safeguarding research integrity. By analyzing citation patterns and publication practices\, researchers can effectively identify and address citation risks. Furthermore\, the emergence of various types of questionable citations\, such as citation cartels\, misleading citations\, over-citations\, phantom citations etc.\, complicates the landscape even more. This session will offer practical strategies for using bibliometrics to reduce these risks. Participants will learn to assess source quality critically\, recognise problematic citation patterns\, and use bibliometric tools to enhance their professional practice. \nBarbara S. Lancho Barrantes is a Scientometrician with a PhD in Bibliometrics from the University of Extremadura\, Spain. She currently serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Computing and Mathematics subject area at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom. Her primary research focus is on citation analysis\, but she has also published on factors influencing research productivity across countries\, bibliometric mappings of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, and issues related to questionable publishing practices. \nIn addition to her research\, Barbara is also a dissertation supervisor at the Information School at the University of Sheffield and chairs the LIS Bibliometrics Committee\, which organizes the annual international LIS Bibliometrics conference. Her work continues to advance the field of bibliometrics and promote responsible research practices. \nThis session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Canadian Community of Practice February Call – Learning to be Responsible: From Recognition to Rankings
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 8\, 2024 \nTime: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators\, to join this month’s call of the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice. \nDrs. Erica Conte (Unity Health Toronto) and Baron Wolf (University of Kentucky) are members of the INORMS Research Evaluation Group\, which is an international group of research management societies that are working to ensure that research evaluation is meaningful\, responsible and effective. During this BRI Community of Practice session\, they will outline two major initiatives of the group: 1) the SCOPE framework for responsible research evaluation\, and 2) the More Than Our Rank global initiative. \nThe SCOPE framework for research evaluation is a five-stage model for evaluating responsibly. It is a practical step-by-step process designed to help research managers/administrators/librarians\, or anyone involved in conducting research evaluations\, in planning new evaluations as well as improving existing evaluations. The session will explain the framework and how to apply it to ensure we are evaluating our research organization and researchers in a responsible way. The More Than Our Rank initiative has been developed in response to some of the problematic features and effects of global university rankings. It provides an opportunity for academic institutions to highlight the many and various ways they serve their community and beyond that are not reflected in their various ranking positions. It is an initiative for institutions who are proud of their ranking position but also recognize the limitations of the indicators used and for those who feel that the rankings do not reflect their strengths or institutional mission. The session will explain More Than Our Rank and talk about the international recommendations to join this new initiative as a first step to a more responsible use of international rankings. \nSpeakers’ Bios \nErica Conte obtained her PhD in Physiology from Western University (Canada)\, and has diverse work experience in academics\, industry and research administration. Within these roles she has developed expertise in research assessment\, strategic planning\, communication\, institutional leadership\, as well as both traditional and philanthropic research funding. At Unity Health Toronto\, an affiliated research hospital of the University of Toronto\, she is currently the Director of Funding Strategy and Stewardship\, where she supports the full breadth of health research spanning fundamental science through to translational research\, health services/policy and knowledge translation. She has been an active member of the Canadian Association of Research Administrators (CARA) since 2014\, and is a member of the International Network of Research Management Societies (INORMS) Research Evaluation Group\, where she helps to develop tools to support responsible research assessment and improve our use of global and national rankings in research. \nBaron Wolf has experience working in institutional research\, effectiveness\, assessment and strategic planning within higher education. His work has focused on the use of data analytics to make strategic business decisions and process improvement. He is a member of the International Network of Research Management Societies (INORMS) Research Evaluation Working Group.

SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Canadian Community of Practice November Call: Social Networks in Knowledge Mobilization Work
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023 \nTime: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite all those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s community call of the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice. This month’s invited speaker is Dr. Stephen McGregor (University of Calgary) who will present on social networks in knowledge mobilization work. \nIt is often said that relationships are fundamental to knowledge mobilization and that it is therefore crucial for professionals in this field to know how to analyze and utilize social networks. But how do relationships take shape\, how can the multiple dimensions of social networks be mapped\, and how do you pick a social network analysis tool? In this session\, Dr. McGregor will answer these questions through several examples from his research into the social networks within and among elementary and secondary schools. His aim is to provide a practical introduction to social network analysis\, one that is theory-informed but includes many suggestions and tips for how you can better understand social networks in the context of your work. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Stephen MacGregor is an Assistant Professor of Leadership\, Policy\, and Governance at the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. His research centers on knowledge mobilization as a mechanism to promote school improvement and systems change\, with an emphasis on leadership practices for increasingly complex educational environments. \nCommunity Calls are organized by the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Steering Committee: \n\nPhilippe Boisvert\, Université Laval\nLaura Bredahl\, University of Waterloo (co-chair)\nChristine Brodeur\, NRC / CNRC\nThane Chambers\, University of Alberta (co-chair)\nRachel Couban\, McMaster University\nMonique Grenier\, University of Victoria\nMindy Thuna\, University of Toronto

SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Canadian Community of Practice September Call – Indexing Tools and Journal Level Indicators
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, September 12\, 2023 \nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators\, to join this month’s call of the Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice.  \nThis insightful session will delve into two aspects of academic publishing: Open Alex and the potential to improve the quality of indexing Canadian journals and the significance and use of journal level metrics.  \nIn the first segment\, Simon van Bellen\, senior research advisor at the non-profit publishing platform Érudit\, will introduce how the recent development of OpenAlex may allow for a more complete picture of the Canadian publishing landscape. Canadian research often finds its home in Canadian journals\, which according to a recent study are backed by public funds\, universities\, and learned societies. Exact numbers of publications are unknown as these journals are poorly indexed in common tools for bibliometric analysis. OpenAlex can be used to evaluate the level and quality of indexing of Canadian journals and explore its usefulness for bibliometric analysis. \nIn the second segment\, Christine Brodeur\, intelligence analyst for the National Research Council of Canada\, will unravel the complex world of journal level indicators. Journal Impact Factor may be a familiar term\, but do you understand its definition and how it’s calculated? Are you aware that numerous alternative journal indicators also exist? Are you acquainted with the circumstances under which these indicators should or shouldn’t be employed\, as well as their limitations? The presentation aims to address these questions and stimulate conversations centred on journal level indicators. \nCommunity Calls are organized by the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact Community of Practice Steering Committee: \n\n       Philippe Boisvert\, Université Laval\n       Laura Bredahl\, University of Waterloo\n      Christine Brodeur\, NRC / CNRC\n       Thane Chambers\, University of Alberta\n       Rachel Couban\, McMaster University\n       Monique Grenier\, University of Victoria\n       Mindy Thuna\, University of Toronto

SUMMARY:Bibliometrics and Research Impact Canadian Community of Practice March Community Call
DESCRIPTION:Date: March 22\, 2023 \nTime: 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET \nRegistration \nWe invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators\, including those who are just curious or who work outside of libraries\, to join this month’s call of the Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice. Although our simple agenda of getting folks talking\, connecting\, and building collaborations hasn’t changed\, this call will be the first to host two informal presentations from our community members. The goal is to get us inspired and stimulated discussion through interactive presentations on topics that interest this community. \nWhile this month’s discussion will be primarily in English\, bilingual moderators will be on hand to help ensure participants are able to contribute in the official language of their choice. \nPresentation 1 – Research ID and Impact: An Introduction\nHeather Ganshorn\, Librarian\, Libraries and Cultural Resources\, University of Calgary\, and Christie Hurrell\, Associate Librarian\, Libraries and Cultural Resources\, University of Calgary \nAre you new to the bibliometrics and research impact area\, or just beginning to expand your instruction and consultation services into this area? Get oriented to some of the basic topics\, tools\, and concepts in this field. You’ll build skills to help you take charge of your own online identity and track your research impact\, as well as teach these skills to others. \nPresentation 2 – Who is Responsible for Responsible Use of Metrics?\nHeather Cunningham\, Assistant Director\, Research & Innovation Services\, Gerstein Science Information Centre\, University of Toronto \nResponsible use of metrics is a theme blended into Research Metrics and Impact workshops I have delivered\, mostly to graduate students and other early career researchers. Upon reflection\, a more apt description may be “responsible perception” of metrics\, as the individual graduate students and faculty members\, are not the prime “users” of these metrics. There are many discussions in academia about responsible use of metrics\, but how effective are these discussions and workshops when the rewards systems\, “users” and individual researchers are disconnected? Come join a discussion about the challenges of teaching research metrics and qualitative impact indicators. \nModerator: Farah Frisen\, Research & Strategy Associate\, University Health Network \nCommunity Calls are organized by the CARL Canadian BRI Community of Practice Steering Committee: \n\nPhilippe Boisvert\, Université Laval\nLaura Bredahl\, University of Waterloo\nChristine Brodeur\, National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada\nThane Chambers\, University of Alberta\nRachel Couban\, McMaster University\nMonique Grenier\, University of Victoria\nMindy Thuna\, University of Toronto
