Incentivizing Openness in the Humanities: are altmetrics the key?

Presented at Advancing Research Communication & Scholarship, 27 April 2015.

---

You probably know that humanities scholars are less likely to be cited than their peers in the sciences, but did you know they are more likely to have their work shared and discussed online? This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the research done to date on humanities scholarship and altmetrics. We'll also discuss three ways that altmetrics can incentivize openness for humanities researchers.
