Publication metrics are one of the many tools available to assess the impact of research, while Open Access provides unrestricted access to research outputs. Maggie Symes and Sam Nesbit from the University of Sussex will present the publication metrics currently used in research and ways to make your work Open Access. This will be followed by a discussion of the uses and limitations of publication metrics and a look at some of the alternative metrics that can be used alongside more traditional publication metrics and other factors to assess research impact.
