Bibliometrics & research impact
Research assessment is a multi-faceted topic that includes quantitative and qualitative measures with use practices governed by global statements and standards. Examples of bibliometric measures include the total number of publications, or the total number of citations for a single researcher, a group of researchers or an institution. The Libraries provides responsible use support to assessment activities using bibliometric measures including annual reporting, strategic planning, award competition and more.
