@ELPUB_Conf @ucl_qatar @CEONCEES @lessormore4 @BikiOA What percentage of articles are in English?

[Manfredi La Manna @manfredi_la]

@KoraQa13 @ELPUB_Conf One of the aims of BitViews is to provide data on views/downloads as a parallel currency of academic esteem (in addition to citations). In the short term, attraction of high JIF journal remains but content (=AAMs deposited in OA IRs) is (green) Open Access!

@JosephM70973055 @ELPUB_Conf @ucl_qatar BitViews would produce a free public ledger recording COUNTER-validated worldwide-aggregated data on online usage of OA AAMs. This, in turn, can be used to formulate discipline- geography-specific metrics of non-citation impact.

@ELPUB_Conf @ucl_qatar Apologies for the poor presentation: new to Twitter! Happy to chat on Skype (https://t.co/0KBtraoqKn.manna).

@ELPUB_Conf @SPARC_EU @scossfunding ... the right INCENTIVES have to be provided for the right infrastructure to be built and used. Example: over 3,000 IRs have been built, but without proper attention to the incentives to leverage them for OA/OS, they are underused.

[Manfredi La Manna @manfredi_la]

@ELPUB_Conf @SPARC_EU @scossfunding Very encouraging news. But may I inject a note of caution? It goes without saying that without a proper infrastructure system OS cannot be achieved and thus any effort to coordinate initiatives along sound OS principles is most welcome. BUT ...

@ELPUB_Conf I would have thought most important non-citation impact measure would be number of views/downloads. Do you have data on these? If so, how do they relate to altmetrics? Also, did you have a non-OA control group in your dataset?

[Manfredi La Manna @manfredi_la]

@ELPUB_Conf Clarification: what percentage of DOI items in dataset are peer-reviewed (e.g., a working paper may have DOI but no peer review)?

[Manfredi La Manna @manfredi_la]

@ELPUB_Conf @pwlarthur I would have thought that the picture would be quite different for Arts and Humanities vs Social Sciences, as, generalising to the extreme, former are monograph-based, latter journal-based. Any evidence in your study?
