Isabella Peters

Isabella Peters

Isabella Peters is Professor of Web Science at ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and head of the Web Science research group at Kiel University. She received her PhD in Information Science at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. Her research focuses on user-generated content and its potential for scholarly communication on the social web, e.g. altmetrics. Since 2014, Isabella has been the co-organizer of the altmetrics workshops and in 2018 she became a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Altmetrics. She was a member of the European Expert Group on Altmetrics and she co-chaired the LIBER Innovative Metrics Working Group.
Isabella will speak about current approaches on measuring openness, what openness may mean in research and which strategies are in place, to make open science efforts more visible. She will reflect on altmetrics and other types of indicators that are used for research evaluation and she will discuss how they relate to Open Science. It will also be shown that only responsible development of metrics will support open science initiatives.

John Renner Hansen is professor of Experimental High-Energy Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute – University of Copenhagen. For four decades he has worked internationally at and with large infrastructures and with the collection and handling of data volumes that have always been at the limit of the extent possible. It has therefore required constant innovation beyond state-of-the-art. John has served on numerous national and international research councils and committees, many with the aim of creating new research infrastructures. Currently, John Renner Hansen is chairman of the board of the Danish e-Infrastructure Cooperation (DeiC), whose task is to create a new modern e-Infrastructure for the Danish universities. He is also leading the work of introducing Open Science at the University of Copenhagen, so that in the future it will become a natural part of education and research at all levels.
