Abstract

This poster presents a study of research/scholarship impact factors in the humanities comparing the factors included in the calculation and their “fit” with different fields of humanistic inquiries. The study pays particular attention to altmetrics that go beyond citation-based metrics and asks what work, effort and scholarly activities in the humanities remain invisible and unaccounted for. Based on the findings, the author makes suggestions about the role and contribution of scholarly communication librarians in assisting humanities scholars on their campuses to better understand how to communication their research to various stakeholders, identifying publication strategies, formats, and dissemination channels that best highlight their achievements and their contributions to the discipline, their institutions, and larger communities.
