Reach out to Assessment & User Experience Team and ask how they might measure the number of books/articles that cite our resources #1538

We could search google scholar for DPUL links

Jen Grayburn gets requests for permission to produce full resolution images in publications in a copyright question mailbox and could give us some stats if we wanted, although she's trying to move that responsibility elsewhere.

Goal

Discover if AUX is already thinking about this problem in some other context and if there's some way we can easily tie into that. If so, we should document that's a thing and see what tying into it means. If not, we should hold off on this metric until we develop some standard citation feature that's trackable.

Success Criteria

First Step

Message them in the Slack channel #assessment-ux

This is Beth's response:

Hi Sean! We haven't been exploring this more than conversationally. Perhaps of interest I remember an IMLS grant from a few years ago "Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects". Here's also a paper that outlines the conceptual framework. Oh, and digging around they have followed up with a toolkit of their work that includes citation analysis. Hope that helps and would be happy to talk/dig around more.

And if we wanted to explore this as a project to adopt more broadly here, we'd be interested in discussing more too.

We could scope out either as a group or propose a task force about what type of assessment practices, resources, and infrastructure is needed for both on-going and project-based activities to assess reuse across multiple content type or sources

These are some helpful resources, but there is nothing we can tie into already at PUL.
