So it is a new title. Whole lot more than that. 1. A major science funder believes status quo isn't the only way to disseminate research, and traditional peer-reviewed articles in high impact journals are not all that matters. Other research products can be considered first-class research products. 2. It signals this to all the researchers who apply to the NSF. This is a big deal, because it moves the discussion away from just OA advocates and open data tweeps to all scientists. All scientists now get to think, "hrmm, did I release a dataset that is as good as my papers?" 3. It necessitates a move away from journal impact factors. The quality and impact of data and software can't be evaluated with the journal impact factor. Item level metrics and altmetrics are going to be totally necessary for grant reviewers to know whether these alternative products have made a difference. 4. Once we are in the grant review door with item-level metrics, watch out! Alternative metrics are empowering for innovations in publishing. All the new journal experiments that are springing up... eLife, Peerj, F1000 Research, PLoS Currents.... are invited to compete, invited to help authors make the case that the articles published in those containers were impactful. Very empowering for innovative journals, most of which are OA. And empowering for dismantling the "article" yet further into its component parts. 5. It demonstrates a willingness on the part of funders to refine what they consider evaluation-worthy criteria. Transformation is going to happen as major funders encourage their applicants to brag about their openness, and the impact that their openness has enabled. what can the world look like Beyond the Impact Factor Beyond the Article Quality Impact A Single Number Multiple Dimensions CC-BY-NC by maniacyak on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/maniacyak/3432589472 Multiple Flavours Open Context Agile experimentation Tell the full story of research impact. altmetrics.org/tools Altmetric.com ImpactStory PLOS article-level metrics Plum Analytics Reader Meter Science Card http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixscapes/4331070047 born as total-impact Hackathon! incorporating as nonprofit Board: Cameron Neylon, John Wilbanks http://orcid.org what can the world look like Beyond the Impact Factor Beyond the Article datasets! software! slides! preprints! blogs! context type of engagement type of audience comparisons, reference sets not just one number not just one flavour open! rOpenSci Plum Ubiquity Press PeerEv dissertations IR experiments ... barrier-based $$$ http://www.flickr.com/photos/quinnanya/2055471833 http://flickr.com/photos/nieve44/2152712789/ Changes are happening in scholarly communication. http://www.flickr.com/photos/myklroventine/892446624/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jo-h/2688026447/ Build great things.
