kinds of altmetric-related research have you been thinking
about or working on? altmetrics20 encourages you to
contribute to the workshop by submitting altmetric-related
research focusing on the current state of altmetrics as it
relates to the global, political, social, and economic
changes we are all experiencing. This will allow us to
simultaneously discuss the state of the art of research in
altmetrics and social media-based metrics as well as to
speak to the global, political, social, and economic changes
we are witnessing. Together with the workshop participants,
we would like to reflect on current research approaches as
well as to look at future horizons of altmetrics research
and practice.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New

can focus on empirical analyses, novel theoretical

collaboration on social media metrics and altmetrics. While
a short paper is not a requirement to attend the workshop,
we strongly encourage prospective participants to submit a
contribution to seed the discussions. The organizers will
give priority to submissions linking to original research
artifacts and bearing potential for deeper reflection on
altmetrics use and research. </span><span
