National Workshop - “Application of Qualitative Indicators for the excellence of scholarly communication”- Annamalai University : 8th and 9th March 2013


Dear LIS Professionals



The Department of Library and Information Science, Annamalai University, Tamilnadu
is going to organize a two days National Workshop (Under UGC SAP)
on
“Application of Qualitative Indicators for the excellence of scholarly
communication”


 Date: 8th and 9th March 2013 (Friday and Saturday)

 The Workshop aims at the evaluation of scholarly research performance, and
focuses on the contribution of scholarly work to the advancement of
scholarly knowledge. It provides a wide range of important facts, and
corrects a number of common misunderstandings about science indicators. It
introduces basic notions and distinctions, and deals both with theoretical
and technical aspects, and with its applicability in various policy
contexts. In order to be used properly as a research evaluation tool, it is
essential that all participants have insight into the nature of citation
analysis, how its indicators are constructed and calculated, what the
various theoretical positions state about what they measure, and what are
their potentialities and limitations, particularly in relation to peer
review. It is hoped that this workshop will provide such insight.

Sub themes of the workshop
  • Impact Factor
  • H-index
  • Success Index
  • G-Index
  • Activity Index
  • Ranking of institutions
  • Ranking of individual scientists by citation factor
  • ICT based evaluation tools, etc.
