We will convene various groups across the research ecosystem – researchers, institutions, publishers, funders, technology and service providers – for 3 days of collaboration breakouts amongst and between these groups. We aim to accomplish the following: [1] Amplify awareness of social capital, mechanisms, and tools for using impact metrics that currently exist across target groups [2] Discuss community-specific forms of measurable impact and examine convergence areas between audiences [3] Cross-pollinate ideas between groups to better inform community-specific uses [4] Coordinate plans for building best-practices, development of tools, and outreach/advocacy of altmetrics...”
