Studied Sociology, psychology, and communication studies in Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin where he graduated in sociology in 2007. From 2007 and 2010 he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute of Innovation and Systems Research in Karlsruhe in different projects on innovation policy and the governance of emerging technologies. In 2010, he began working as a teaching coordinator, designing and implementing the MA Program "Science Studies" which has been successfully introduced at HU Berlin in 2012. At the same time, he was also involved in a project on the regulation of data practices in German universities. Between December 2013 and 2016 he worked as a research associate in the DFG funded project "Reviews as legitimizing resource in emerging research fields" focusing on the case of synthetic biology. He was also involved in a project on core concepts, organizational and evaluation of Translational Medical Research funded by the Berlin Institute of Health. His research interests include: science and technology studies, innovation studies, network analysis, governance of biomedicine (with a specific focus on synthetic biology), as well as studies into digital scholarly practices. Clemens Blümel joined the DZHW in January 2017.

cientific knowledge dissemination and altmetrics. Workshop held at the Open Science Conference, 21.03.2017, Berlin.
Abstract

The goal of the workshop is to improve the understanding of altmetrics. In the first part of the workshop, OpenUP project researchers will give an overview of current altmetrics indicators and present a taxonomy linking channels of dissemination and altmetrics indicators. Participants will be able to give feedback in a discussion that also involves methodological potentials and challenges in the area. In the second part of the workshop, we will present case studies involving innovative forms of dissemination, and discuss how open and digital science is changing research communication and engagement.
