Research Evaluation in the Social Sciences and Humanities – HuMetricsHSS

"This paper articulates scholarly values in depth and describes work currently underway to validate these values with HSS researchers themselves. Both traditional metrics (i.e., bibliometrics) and altmetrics are explored as means of measuring one’s progress towards these values. Also described is the larger arc of the HumetricsHSS project being conducted by a team of scholars and information professionals working to find ways to expose, highlight, and recognize the important scholarship that goes into not only research activities, but also the all-too-hidden work of peer review, teaching, service, and mentoring."
