POST-CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION

Building metrics is the key to science and technology, measurement, and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference.  The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in the Science and Technology System.  The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarize themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and the application of metrics.  

The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the below themes, not limited.

Citation-based metrics
Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries
Discipline and Domain Analysis
Economic factors
Databases and datasets for evaluation
Evaluation Tools and Indicators
Web-based metrics
Visibility and impact
Internationalization
Text-based Metrics
Innovation indicators
Wearable Devices
Open data
Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis
National Evaluation Systems
Open access and open publishing
New indices for evaluation
Altmetrics
Web-based metrics
Data Science and Digital Repositories
Scientific Visualization
e-Science in the Cloud
Scientific Journalism
Scientific Publications

All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers.

Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries.

Paper review and publication process
The papers will be classifed as Theory, Methodological, Experimental, Seminal, review, replicability, reproducibility and repeatability. Repeatability papers will be rejected. The papers even after acceptance will be completely edited to ensure fair presentation. Each paper gets DOI and subjected for publication in the journals listed.
