SPARC's Webcast: Peter Binfield on Article Level Metrics

In March 2009, the Public Library of Science (PLoS) became the first publisher
to track transparent and comprehensive information about the usage and reach
of published articles - rather than journals - so that the academic community has
another avenue to help assess their value. These measures are called "Article-Level
Metrics (ALMs)."

On April12, Pete Binfield, Publisher of PLoS One, gave this webcast for an
in-depth look at the the current status of Article Level Metrics, a discussion of what
has been learned to date, and a glimpse into what is on the horizon for their further
development and wider adoption.
