Measuring Scholarly Impact and Beyond
 
Abstract: Measuring scholarly impact is becoming crucial for funding allocation, tenure-related promotion, and strategic planning. With the ever-increasing power of computing technology and vast amount of available enriched unstructured and structured data, measuring scholarly impact is moving from a simple counting of numbers, to utilizing topic and entity metrics for in-depth semantic measures of knowledge usage and diffusion, to finally enable knowledge discovery. This talk will showcase examples to demonstrate this paradigm shift, and presents exciting research outputs as well as prototype tools, ready for further development and deployment.
