NETWORK

Intro to the Network

The Network is our inter­face between our research and public insti­tu­tions, science, research insti­tu­tions and the wider public. We offer various oppor­tu­ni­ties to connect with us and learn about biblio­met­rics and relat­ed topics. Come and join us for our webina­rs, confer­ences and summer schools. We look forward to sharing and discussing our latest research results with you!

EVENTS

WEBINARS

In our webina­rs we offer insights into our latest biblio­met­ric research, its workflows and appli­ca­tions. The open events are a central part of our knowl­edge and skills trans­fer strategy.

Open Research Seminars

This new virtu­al series is part of our trans­for­ma­tion process towards an agile knowl­edge network that targets and openly commu­ni­cates relevant knowl­edge on biblio­met­ric issues to the wider society. Every four weeks we present latest research foci and approach­es to biblio­met­ric and scien­to­met­ric topics: 30-minute lecture, 30-minute open discus­sion. Every­one who would like to regis­ter is cordial­ly invit­ed! Contact us to join our mailing list: kb@dzhw.eu

Events from previ­ous years from the series Open Research Seminars can be found in our archive. The archive also contains the series “Future perspec­tives of open citation data” from 2022 with five 30-minute webinars.

NETWORK MEETINGS

KB network meetings are inter­nal KB events that bring our members togeth­er. They take place twice a year and are an exchange platform for all KB members, especial­ly target­ing researchers and the network’s middle manage­ment. This format thus makes a decisive contri­bu­tion to exchange at the working level but also supports the future of biblio­met­rics research by promot­ing young researchers. We organ­ise meetings as workshops, writing workshops or hackathons.

WORKING GROUPS

Various working groups (WGs) have been initi­at­ed inside the network. These small­er groups work collab­o­ra­tive­ly on various topics across differ­ent locations and insti­tu­tions of the network to promote inter­dis­ci­pli­nary exchange and strength­en our inter­nal network. WGs inves­ti­gate and promote relevant research questions and feed knowl­edge back into public discourse through our open events and hub initiatives.

Here you will find the working groups of the KB and contact persons:

Consti­tu­tive:

• Research (Dr. Stephan Stahlschmidt, DZHW)
• Commu­ni­ca­tion (Dr. Johannes Stiller, EFI)

SUMMER SCHOOL (esss)

The European Summer School for Scien­to­met­rics (esss) provides an intro­duc­tion and inten­sive train­ing on the most impor­tant aspects of the quanti­ta­tive analy­sis of science and technol­o­gy. It offers an overview of current scien­to­met­ric indica­tors and methods as well as ample oppor­tu­ni­ty to apply new knowl­edge and skills during the event. The KB manage­ment is a member of the Summer School’s Steer­ing Commit­tee as part of its commit­ment to skills trans­fer and promot­ing young researchers. The next Summer School will take place from 08–12.09.2025 in Grana­da: european summer school for scien­to­met­rics – esss.info. Regis­tra­tion starts on 01.04.2025.

NETWORK PARTNERS

The KB is a cross-insti­tu­tion­al network in which the partners cooper­ate to contribute to the further devel­op­ment of biblio­met­rics and its applic­a­bil­i­ty on the basis of a shared data infrastructure.
