Dear Colleagues
Some practical examples of the impact of OA at SU: http://www.slideshare.net/inaviljoensmith/smith-uct-researchweek-34713659#btnNext
Experts are in agreement that - as applied to performance management - altmetrics incl. downloads should also be taken into account, and not only citations. Also have a look at impactstory.org
An interesting question was on how can researchers protect themselves and their research integrity against unfounded criticism etc. - especially in an OA environment where anybody can just publish anything.
Kind regards
Ina
