LIS-Bibliometrics group return with an event focusing upon Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences AHSS. While much of the discussion in the use of bibliometrics has inevitably focused upon their use and application in STEM subjects, here we explore whether bibliometrics can be used in AHSS and if so, how and what are the issues

The afternoon workshop will require you to have a laptop installed with Publish or Perish software http://www.harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish

We are still looking for contributors to the lightning talks slot, so if you have experience with using bibliometrics in AHSS (good or bad) please let us know

Please use the hashtag #ahssmetrics
