Research Assessment & Bibliodiversity: Curation of Open Educational Resources

As academic librarians and bibliometric practitioners are faced with increasing pressure to conduct advanced research analytics, provide research impact reports to administrators and research managers, and interpret complex bibliometric, scientometric, and altmetrics data, the need for education and professional development has sharply risen. As a result, a new collection of open educational resources is being curated to address this growing demand. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of the collection and its items, the organization of the collection and its diverse topics, and the collection's background, as well as a brief summary of the larger scholarly communication project under which it is nested. Throughout the presentation, the speaker will emphasize the importance of bibliodiversity and responsible research assessment, how the two are intertwined, and how they must be incorporated into all assessment practices to effectively advocate for inclusivity and valuation of diverse scholarship across disciplines, backgrounds, and underrepresented groups. Learning Outcomes: To summarize the importance of incorporating bibliodiversity and responsible research assessment in all research impact reports, analytics, and guidance To describe a curated collection of existing, centrally located open educational resources on research impact To implement the items in the collection into your own practices and interactions with administrators, research managers, and faculty members.
