Last Monday I had the chance to participate as an invited speaker in the I International Edition of the Summer School in Science Mapping organized by research team led by Massimo Aria and Corrado Cuccurullo. These are the people behind the wonderful R package Bibliometrix, and now also TaLL (for text analysis). It is a really nice and smart group of people, doing a fantastic job on the development of tools that can be used both, for people with and w/o programming skills. I have been in touch with them for several years, as we have invited them in several occasions to the ESSS to introduce students to their software, and even Dani created a videotutorial in Spanish for the Biblioshiny interface and I’ve used it for my teaching.
In this occasion I was invited to talk about Altmetrics and Open Science, based on previous lectures I periodically give at the ESSS. I took the occasion to improve my materials, update them and improve the narrative. The lecture went well with an interesting follow up given the multidisciplinary background of the students.
