Metrics for openness
本文提出了多个度量指标来描述开放获取和开放研究的不同方面,包括文章的公开可用性、存档位置、许可、获取成本和支持信息,并用作者自己的出版物进行了计算演示。
The characterization of scholarly communication is dominated by citation‐based measures. In this paper we propose several metrics to describe different facets of open access and open research. We discuss measures to represent the public availability of articles along with their archival location, licenses, access costs, and supporting information. Calculations illustrating these new metrics are presented using the authors’ publications. We argue that explicit measurement of openness is necessary for a holistic description of research outputs.
