Understanding and using publication metrics responsibly
Publication metrics provide a quantitative approach to the analysis of both publications and researchers and can help you with information about the reach and potential impact of your research, as well as inform decisions about where to publish.
This workshop will introduce the benefits and limitations of a number of tools which provide publication metrics for both the individual researcher, research output and for institutional level analysis. It will provide opportunities to discus the importance of the responsible use of bibliometric data and it will also look at the University’s commitment to the responsible use of publication metrics.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop you will have:
- An awareness of recent developments and debates within the field of bibliometrics
- Considered the benefits and limitations of each metric and understand how to use publication metrics responsibly
- Discovered how to use both 'traditional' publication metrics and altmetrics to illustrate the use of your research and that of others
Target audience
Researchers at all career stages and from all disciplines.
