Traditional scholarship, traditional impact factors
- Citations (hindex)
- Quality of publication venue
The model is breaking down
- Dissatisfaction even for traditional scholarship
- Even worse for teaching/pedagogy scholarship
○ Less likely to be cited, as others pick up ideas without new publication
○ Ideas spread through meetings or other means than publication
○ Impact better measured in student learning than in new scholarship
“New” metrics in use or development for traditional scholarship
- “Crosscitations”
- Usage: downloads; book holdings; requests
- Capture: favorites; bookmarks
- Mentions: blogposts; news stories
- Social media
- Traditional citations/patents
