Measuring Impact in the Mathematical & Statistical Sciences

Thursday, October 4th, 2018.

The programme for the day is split into two sections, Morning Seminars and an Afternoon Working Group/Workshop.

The afternoon will be a practical session spent developing/conceptualising open science tools (predominantly R packages, but not restricted to this) for measuring, gathering, visualising and summarising impact information.

Ideas for R packages are posted on the GitHub Issues. To propose an idea for an open science tool, or see what others have suggested, head over to the GitHub Issues page.

Please see the Resources and Presenters Slides link to your right for presenters slides. All available a slides are saved in this repo.
