We are excited to announce the release of the Journal of Electronic Publishing‘s special issue titled “Metrics for Measuring Publishing Value: Alternative and Otherwise”. This eclectic issue brings together thoughtful research, reporting, and case studies on new forms of evaluation in addition to invigorating older forms of evaluation with new ideas and perspectives.
Articles in this issue cover an update on the state of altmetrics from the Impactstory team, a rubric for the assessment of the impact of social documentaries, evaluating teaching and learning for publishing education, an in-depth method for evaluating and choosing a publishing model that fits publisher needs, developing tools to support new forms of peer review, and a case for extending the traditional book review to digital scholarship.
As always, all of the Journal of Electronic Publishing’s articles are free to read online.
