INTRODUCTORY SLIDES
![Page 4: Pan & Breen - Bibliometrics support for the research community: the experience of 4 Irish University libraries collaboratively producing a suite of Open Access reusable learning objects](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5560ef36d8b42a086e8b567f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Bibliometrics is..• Bibliometrics is one of various quantitative measures widely used to assess
research impact, based on analysis of publication and particularly citation counts
• Bibliometrics is being increasingly used at all levels: international and national benchmarking of universities and academic units within them; to assess particular research groups and their impact; and to assess individuals
• Some typical uses
– a major element in world university rankings is based on citation impact
– ranking of journals to decide where to publish
– individuals including metrics in their CVs and grant applications.
• It is not a method that currently works well for research areas that are not based principally on journal articles as their channel of publication but is nevertheless applied widely and so it is crucial that all researchers are aware of the basics of bibliometrics and the full range of data sources, metrics and tools

Bibliometrics skills are largely generic so lend themselves to collaboration
NDLR LInCS projects are collaborative – at least 3 partners required
Libraries moving into higher end researcher support and bibliometrics is one such area
This new area of research skills support comes as library staffing and resourcing are declining –COLLABORATION is an obvious path to take
Various factors leading to the project

Academic libraries and units in partnership
![Page 7: Pan & Breen - Bibliometrics support for the research community: the experience of 4 Irish University libraries collaboratively producing a suite of Open Access reusable learning objects](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5560ef36d8b42a086e8b567f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Some project details• Project is funded by NDLR (broadly equivalent to JORUM) under Learning
Innovation Community Support Projects (LInCS) strand and we provide matching funding which is almost entirely from staff time.
• Well over 1,000 hours of staff time
• 10k grant – software, professional design of branding, video production by professional company, PR and launch items and promotion items, printing
• UCD, DIT, NUIM and DCU are the partners, UCD is the lead partner
• Original timeline was July – December 2010 but that was extended to end of March 2011 – these things take a fair amount of time if not full time
• We set out milestones and divided the work up into work packages each with a leader who then formed up their own teams, brought in other staff as required and had local meetings – a lot of staff involved in the project overall
• We have managed the project with the Basecamp online environment and that has been overall a good thing – milestones set out, messages, writeboards, filestores etc

Shared production of materials for shared used
• Open Access
• Use a model which is
– Granular i.e. in small units that you can put together as you want to
– Allow editing so you CAN add your own touches, take out things you don’t have access to, customise the examples and so on
– RLO Reusable Learning Objects concept is very important

The future
• User testing, feedback and adjustment
• Marketing and advocacy campaign over time
• Keep the material up to date – it is not task and finish! As we now realise..
• Extend the bibliometrics toolkit in various directions – more subject tailored content
• Build on a collaborative approach to academic library information skills work in general, beyond this project ‐ deliverables
