Some Potential Metrics• Citations (C)• CiteRank• Co-citations• Downloads (D)• C/D Correlations• Hub/Authority index• Chronometrics:
Latency/Longevity• Endogamy/Exogamy • Book citation index
• Research funding• Students• Prizes• h-index• G-factor• Co-authorships• Number of articles• Number of publishing years• Semiometrics (latent
semantic indexing, text overlap, etc.)
Open Access is Generative
“Generatives” and changing markets
“ The future is conversational: when there's more good stuff that you know about that's one click away or closer than you will ever click on, it's not enough to know that some book is good. The least substitutable good in the Internet era is the personal relationship.
Conversation, not content, is king. “

“Revolution doesn’t happen when society adopts new technology. It happnes when society adopts new behaviours”
