Hi everyone,
Welcome to the AuthorAID LIS & Bibliometrics Journal Club!
This journal club covers themes including Library Information Science (LIS), bibliometrics, scientometrics, scholarly publishing, knowledge management/production, and related topics.
Every two weeks we will introduce a new paper and critically analyse both the strengths/weaknesses of the paper and also it's content and practical application.
Platforms:
- WhatsApp group: We will use this group for informal discussion and quick communication (click here to join - requires WhatsApp mobile or desktop app).
- AuthorAID forum group: We will use this for formal analysis and discussion that can be permanently referenced; and as a hub for storing resources, learning materials
