Scholarly Communication

Measuring Research Impact with Altmetrics

You may be familiar with traditional metrics via scholarly journal citation counts. Alternative Metrics – known as Altmetrics – uses counts of where your work is being cited, tweeted, and shared throughout your research community to track impact. The workshop will cover different types of research impact metrics and how to show the impact of your research through Altmetrics.

Digital Humanities

Text Mining and Analysis with Hathi Trust

UND is proud to be a member of Hathi Trust, a collective of universities that join together to collect and share digital texts--many of the same files that you can find in Google Books and the Internet Archive.  What does access to this trove of digital texts mean, and how can we explore them with text analysis tools, and what can we learn?  We'll learn some of the possibilities for teaching and research with texts and text analysis in this in-person workshop, discussing Hathi Trust, Voyant, and NotebookLM.
