Abstract

After many years of relatively slow progress, the field of research assessment and discovery has begun to change rapidly. As scholars adopt the web for scholarly communication, more and more sources of information about research impact are becoming available, and at much greater global scale and coverage, and openness than before. This article discusses these trends, highlights the major players and ongoing work, and points at future directions.
