Upcoming Training on OPERAS Metrics: Measuring the Impact of Open Access Books

• November 11, 2024

On November 26, 2024, from 13:00 to 15:00 CET, OPERAS will host an online training session focused on OPERAS Metrics, a valuable tool designed to measure the impact and usage of Open Access (OA) books. This database aggregates data from multiple sources to give a comprehensive view of OA book usage, offering critical insights for researchers, librarians, and publishers involved in Open Access publishing.

The session is divided into two parts:

• Introduction to OPERAS Metrics: The first part will introduce OPERAS Metrics’ key features and benefits, detailing how it aligns with broader research assessment practices and the Open Science-focused objectives of the GraspOS project.
• Hands-on Training: In the second half, participants will engage in a step-by-step tutorial on using OPERAS Metrics, equipping them with practical skills to analyze and understand OA book metrics.

The training is ideal for researchers, research support staff, OA authors, and publishers who want to leverage OPERAS Metrics in research evaluation.
