Talkat FOSDEM 2021 · on Saturday, 2021-02-06· at 17:30· D.research· [data-engineering, open-source]

Describes the need for a standard way to record provenance and processing for scholarly metrics produced by providers like Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions, Crossref and Scite.ai, covering citations and altmetrics such as Tweets and Facebook shares. Presents an early prototype called Metrics in Context implemented as a Frictionless Data specification, arguing for attention to the tracing and patterning processes that create metrics used in hiring, promotion and funding decisions.
