Just published on the blog today! Read Nicolas Robinson Garcia's perspectives on the need for nuance in our understanding of data metrics for evaluation. Nicolas?works in bibliometrics and research evaluation. His current research focuses on research contributions and how those are distributed across teams and in different research fields – see this?preprint?for his latest research on contributions based on the?CRediT taxonomy. https://lnkd.in/eSwdCx8u

Make Data Count is proud to have contributed the Collaborative Metadata Enrichment Taskforce (COMET), with Iratxe Puebla joining the collaboration as an active taskforce participant throughout the listening sessions. We support COMET in their work and encourage the community to attend COMET's Community Call to Action Webinar on Wednesday March 5, 7am PST / 10am EST / 3pm GMT, to learn more about what COMET is looking to achieve through community-driven PID metadata enrichment.

Join us on March 13 for a discussion about data metrics and how they advance responsible evaluation of data. In this session in Spanish, Iratxe Puebla from Make Data Count, Ricardo Hartley Belmar from Fundación Openlab Ecuador and Washington Segundo from IBICT will explore data evaluation, progress and challenges in the development of responsible metrics, and the ways in which different actors in the research ecosystem can support data evaluation.
