Date: Thursday, September 26, 2024
Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
We 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 about metrics and impacts for library publishing programs.
This month’s call, led by Tomasz Mrozewski (York) and Katie Cuyler (Alberta), will provide an overview of the use of journal metrics by library publishers. Specifically, the speakers will discuss metric use by their institution’s scholarly journal publishing programs. This will include an introduction to library publishing in Canada, general metric needs, available resources, current activities, and challenges.
Tomasz Mrozewski is the Digital Publishing Librarian at York University Libraries, where he has administered the York Digital Journals (YDJ) publishing program since 2019. YDJ hosts content for 60 active and discontinued, faculty- and student-led journals – most of them Open Access. Prior to working at York, he was the Data, GIS, and Government Documents Librarian at Laurentian University. Bien que plus à l’aise en anglais, Tomasz vous invite à poser des questions et à discuter en français.
Katie Cuyler is the Open Publishing and Government Information Librarian at the University of Alberta Library (UAL). She has been working with Open Publishing since January 2023, and has been with the University as a Public Services Librarian since 2016. UAL has supported open access scholarly journal publishing since 2007, and is currently working with 74 actively publishing journals. Prior to working at the University of Alberta, Katie was an Intelligence Strategist at Bennett Jones LLP.
This session will be recorded and made available for the broader community.
