摘要

A $349,000 grant from The Andrew W. lVIellon Foundation to Indiana University Bloomington will fund research to develop a sustainable initiative to create metrics for assessing scholarly impact from large-scale usage data. Indiana University Bloomington School of Informatics and Computing associate professor Johan Bollen and NISO will share the lVIellon Foundation grant designed to build upon the IVIEtrics from Scholarly Usage of Resources (IVIESUR) project that Bollen began in 2006 with earlier support from the foundation.
