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.
