English abstract

Today there are several projects concerned with how to use usage data from open archives in order to understand the new ways of how science is communicated. The key issue in this scientific field is to develop secure and reliable statistical analysis for the usage of the objects deposited in open archives. With the increasing efforts to evaluate science in different ways it is important to understand the metrics from open archives. At the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) a two-day workshop was held on the topic in November. The aim was to examine how usage metrics can provide new knowledge about how science is communicated through open archives and if it also can be a tool in the future evaluation of science. The workshop was financed by the OpenAccess.se program and we were more than 60 participants taking part of interesting lectures and discussions.
