Altmetrics Bibliography:

Long-time Current Cites contributor and noted digital bibliographer Charles W. Bailey, Jr. adds to his professional corpus this well-researched bibliography on "altmetrics'.

Digital Scholarship 2009

These four bibliographies, compiled in one volume, offer invaluable assistance to the researcher on all forms of digital scholarship. While not exhaustive, this volume gives researchers a much-needed representation of the most important citations on all forms of electronic publishing and related issues, from a burgeoning literature, through providing meticulous, complete, and accurate citations-the winnowing that has occurred in reviewing and compiling this Annual update is remarkable. The great advantage for the researcher is that Bailey's web site at www.digital-scholarship.org provides current updates for citations to this volume as well.
