The bibliometric data is then contrasted to the outcome of a survey of attitudes and behaviour among authors and editors who have published open access books. The metrics indicate that downloads and citations depend on the community of practice of the intended audience within each specific academic discipline, as well as the content itself. There is, for example, a clear difference in usage patterns between monographs and anthologies. The altmetric data used in the study indicate how users interact with the published books online. The data suggests, despite the small sample, that authors can to a greater extent influence how their book is discovered by the readership. It would, therefore, be relevant for authors to become more aware of the type of metrics available and how they can be interpreted and used for better understanding of how the book can reach its intended audience. Further studies are needed, and publishers of open access books are encouraged to share data for benchmarking and development of best practices.", "@xml:lang": "en"}}, "doi_data": {"doi": "10.4000/proceedings.elpub.2019.9", "resource": "http://elpub.episciences.org/5537", "collection": [{"item": {"@crawler": "iParadigms", "resource": "https://hal.science/hal-02141879v1/document"}, "@property": "crawler-based"}, {"item": {"resource": {"value": "https://hal.science/hal-02141879v1/document", "@mime_type": "application/pdf"}}, "@property": "text-mining"}]}, "keywords": {"0": "[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciences", "en": ["impact", "open access", "monographs", "books", "mixed method", "altmetrics", "metrics"]}, "@language": "en", "contributors": {"person_name": [{"surname": "Wennström", "@sequence": "first", "given_name": "Sofie", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_name": "Stockholm University Library"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}, {"surname": "Schubert", "@sequence": "additional", "given_name": "Gabor", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_name": "Stockholm University Library"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}, {"ORCID": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5189-373X", "surname": "Stone", "@sequence": "additional", "given_name": "Graham", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_name": "JISC"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}, {"surname": "Sondervan", "@sequence": "additional", "given_name": "Jeroen", "affiliations": {"institution": [{"institution_id": {"@type": "ror", "value": "https://ror.org/04pp8hn57"}, "institution_name": "Utrecht University [Utrecht]"}, {"institution_id": {"@type": "ror", "value": "https://ror.org/04pp8hn57"}, "institution_name": "Universiteit Utrecht / Utrecht University [Utrecht]"}]}, "@contributor_role": "author"}]}, "publisher_item": {"item_number": {"value": "5537", "@item_number_type": "article_number"}}, "acceptance_date": {"day": "11", "year": "2019", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "publication_date": {"day": "11", "year": "2019", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "@publication_type": "full_text"}, "journal_metadata": {"@language": "en", "full_title": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}}, "database": {"current": {"url": "http://elpub.episciences.org/5537", "flag": "imported", "type": {"title": "conferenceobject"}, "dates": {"posted_date": "2019-05-31 07:21:49", "publication_date": "2019-06-11 09:06:51", "modification_date": "2025-03-31 23:41:00", "first_submission_date": "2019-05-31 07:21:49"}, "files": {"link": "http://elpub.episciences.org/5537/pdf"}, "isTmp": false, "status": {"id": 16, "label": {"en": "published", "fr": "publié"}}, "volume": {"id": 370, "year": "2019", "number": 2, "titles": {"en": "Academic publishing and digital bibliodiversity"}, "position": "2", "settings": {"is_open": false, "is_current_issue": false, "is_special_issue": false}, "descriptions": {"en": "The 23rd edition of the International Conference on Electronic Publishing (ElPub) 2019 celebrates the cultural diversity in all aspects of the transmission and perception of the written, spoken and illustrated word"}, "has_proceedings": false, "bibliographical_references": ""}, "journal": {"id": 16, "url": "http://elpub.episciences.org", "code": "elpub", "name": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}, "metrics": {"file_count": "205", "page_count": "376"}, "section": {"id": 89, "titles": {"en": "Short Papers"}, "position": 2, "settings": {"is_open": true}, "descriptions": null}, "version": 1, "cited_by": {"416": {"id": "416", "docid": "5537", "citation": "{\"0\":{\"type\":null,\"author\":\"Michael Taylor, 0000-0002-8534-5985\",\"year\":2020,\"title\":\"An altmetric attention advantage for open access books in the humanities and social sciences\",\"event_place\":\"\",\"source_title\":\"Wolverhampton Intellectual Repository and E-Theses (University of Wolverhampton)\",\"volume\":\"125\",\"issue\":\"3\",\"page\":\"2523-2543\",\"doi\":\"10.1007/s11192-020-03735-8\",\"oa_link\":\"http://hdl.handle.net/2436/623676\"}}", "source_id": "13", "updated_at": "2025-11-22 03:03:08", "source_id_name": "OpenCitations"}}, "mainPdfUrl": "https://hal.science/hal-02141879v1/document", "repository": {"id": "1", "name": "HAL", "type": "repository", "status": "1", "api_url": "https://api.archives-ouvertes.fr", "doc_url": "https://hal.science/hal-02141879v1", "base_url": "https://api.archives-ouvertes.fr/oai/hal/", "paper_url": "https://hal.science/hal-02141879v1/document", "doi_prefix": "", "identifier": "oai:HAL:hal-02141879v1"}, "identifiers": {"concept_identifier": null, "document_item_number": 5537, "permanent_item_number": 5537, "repository_identifier": "hal-02141879"}, "classifications": [], "original_language": "en", "position_in_volume": 4, "graphical_abstract_file": ""}, "previous_versions": null, "first_version_item_number": 5537, "latest_version_item_number": 5537}}
