And did it count in your research evaluation? https://ritetag.com/hashtag-stats/ape2016 As an author I have no idea what the actual impact is of my book (so why should I go through the process of writing one?) No recognition for my book from faculty, university administrators or funders As a publishing editor I would like to encourage authors to write more books by showing reliable metrics (In this day and age authors expect more from their publisher) EXTINCT? Bookmetrix pulls together information about the attention paid to, use of and impact of books Books benefit hugely from new ways of looking at attention & impact. In addition, books, like journals, are discussed online
