English | PDF | 2017 | 316 Pages | ISBN : 3319605216 | 9.98 MB
This book focuses on applied evaluative informetric artifacts or topics. It explains the base notions and assumptions of evaluative informetrics by discussing a series of important applications. The structure of the book is therefore not organized by methodological characteristics, but is centered around popular, often discussed or used informetric artifacts - indicators, methodologies, products, databases - or so called hot topics in which informetric indicators play an important role.
Most of the artifacts and topics emerged during the past decade. The principal aims of the book is to present a state of the art in applied evaluative informetrics, and to inform the readers about the pros and cons, potentialities and limitations of the use of informetric/bibliometric indicators in research assessment. The book is a continuation of the book Citation Analysis in Research Evaluation (Springer, 2005). It is of interest to non-specialists, especially research students at advanced master level and higher, all those subjected to quantitative research assessment, research managers and other users of applied informetric techniques, and interested scholars from all domains of science and scholarship.
