11 WHY DO WE NEED JOURNAL METRICS? Citation recognized as indicators of scholarly impact Measure reach and uptake of new knowledge Acknowledge contribution of peers Professional reward Standard used to compare and rank journals Adapted from presentation: A Prakash, M Wilde.

12 WHY DO WE NEED ARTICLE METRICS? Indicators of most popular article or article topics Judge merit based on article rather than in journal published Metrics could include: Number of PDF downloads Number of citations in Google Scholar Number of views (HTML or PDF view) Adapted from presentation: A Prakash, M Wilde.
