	Bibliometrics
		Bibliometrics is a type of research method used in library and information science.
		One of the main areas in bibliometric research concerns the application of bibliometric laws.
		Recently, a new growth area in bibliometrics has been in the emerging field of webmetrics, or cybermetrics as it is often called.

	Applications in teaching bibliometrics - 61st IFLA General Conference
		Bibliometric studies are time-consuming and sometimes difficult to perform; another problem is that the results of bibliometric studies give a simplified picture of a complex reality and must ta ke into account many variables to be useful in practice.
		Bibliometric methods, however, give opportunities to describe the content, structure and development of research, and bibliometrics is bec oming more important as a basis for the collection development in research libraries.
		Different bibliometric methods such as citation analysis, analysis of th e scattering of articles to journals and analysis of the obsolescence of literature are used for this purpose.

		While Pritchard explained the term bibliometrics as "the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other media of communication" (Pritchard, 1969), Nalimov and Mulchenko defined scientometrics as "the application of those quantitative methods which are dealing with the analysis of science viewed as an information process" (Nalimov and Mulchenko, 1969).
		The sharp rise which bibliometrics took since the late sixties is reflected by remarkable academic activities, and is intimately connected with the advanced information technology, with the development in computer science and technology and, especially, with the worldwide availability of the large bibliographic databases serving as the ground work of bibliometric research.
		Bibliometrics is traditionally strongly related with library science, information retrieval and sociology of science, on the other hand, results of bibliomertric research and technology are applied as services for librarianship, scientific information and science policy.

	Towards research performance in the humanities - bibliometrics in qualitative analysis of Flemish law literature - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		We argue that the principal aim of the development and application of bibliometric indicators is to stimulate a debate among scholars in the field under investigation on the nature of scholarly quality, its principal dimensions, and operationalizations.
		The strength of the bibliometric method is that, once established, it can be applied in a uniform or objective manner, eliminating the influence of subjective or personal factors.
		As a consequence, bibliometric data should always be applied in combination with qualitative knowledge about the scholars involved and the subdisciplines in which they are active.

	Global Historical Bibliometrics
		Bibliometrics, the science that occupies itself with the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other media of communication (Pritchard, 1969), is a field that can be quite fruitful too for other sciences interested in quantitative time-series on the development of ideas and the processes of their communication.
		The numbers of manuscript and printed books produced in a given society are, in brief, complex measures of economic performance and of societal capabilities, and therefore a valuable guide to the study of long-term economic change.
		The database Global Historical Bibliometrics and its contents will be freely accessible for research purposes to people from over the world by means of the World Wide Web.

	Webometrics and the SOEIS
		While bibliometrics and scientometrics refer to all quantitative aspects and models of printed media and sciences, informetrics is not limited to media or scientific communication (Almind and Ingwersen 1997, 404).
		The idea is to use the traditional bibliometric applications for the web that include the study of communication patterns, the identification of research fronts, historical studies of the development of a discipline or domain, and the evaluation of research activities of countries, institutions or individuals (Ingerwsen and Christensen 1997, p.

	Wrong Impact
		Bibliometrics triggers many criticisms (refer for instance to a brief synthesis in Heck 2002, as well as to the references quoted therein).
		It is however true that bibliometrics is a limited and partial tool, hence an unsatisfactory one, that must be convolved with other indicators if one wishes to perform efficient comparative evaluations and especially if one has to deal with persons with similar qualifications, but different activity profiles, within the same organization.
		Bibliometric indices are questionable in various respects and one should never rely blindly or entirely on them.

	Bibliometrics: a new way to measure scientific production?
		Before investigating further the nature of bibliometrics indicators such as the IF, it is essential to exercise common sense, and to consider that the aim of research is discovery, not making oneself known.
		Bibliometrics using IFs measures the impact of a domain and not only that of the work under analysis.
		In fact an "Impact Factor" (invented by Eugene Garfield from the profit-making Institute of Scientific Information) is but one among several bibliometric markers; it is a measure of the number of times a journal is quoted in references, for a limited period of time.

	Bibliometrics and the World Wide Web
		Bibliometrics specifically focuses on the sub-domain of information to supply a "series of techniques that seek to quantify the process of written communication (Ikpaahindi 1985).
		Classic bibliometrics result from the idea that information has patterns that can be analyzed by counting and analyzing citations, finding relationships between these references based on frequency, and using other statistical formulas.
		The major refinement between bibliometric coupling and cocitation is that while coupling measures the relationship between source documents, cocitation measures the relations between cited documents.

	Nordic PhD Course in Bibliometrics
		Bibliometrics is traditionally associated with the quantitative measure of documentary materials and embraces all studies which seek to quantify the process of written communication, i.e., the application of mathematical methods to books, articles and other media of communication.
		Bibliometric methods are used in studies of properties and behaviour of recorded knowledge, for analysing the structures of scientific and research areas, and for evaluation of research activity and administration of scientific information.
		In this sense Bibliometrics is also relevant for doctoral programs in other fields, such as, media and communication, informatics and linguistics, and it is our hope that doctoral students active outside the LIS-field will also show interest to adapt the bibliometric methods in their research work.

	A Research Agenda for Bibliomining: Data Mining for Libraries
		Bibliomining is derived from the terms “bibliometrics” and “data mining,” as the goal is to take advantage of the social networks that power both bibliometrics and user-based data mining through a single data warehouse.
		Taking these data together allows the researcher to understand the context in which a work was created, the long-term citation impact of the work and the differences between fields in regard to their scholastic output patterns.
		The analyses performed in traditional bibliometrics were frequency-based; however, many newer bibliometric studies are using visualization and data mining to explore patterns in the creation of these materials (Kostoff et.

		Bibliometric tools are definitely not undisputed, the overall majority of comments on bibliometrics is very critical in general and in detail, even if the authors of these critical comments are very often insiders who use these methods themselves.
		Generally, bibliometric analysis is not targeted at evaluating one person as an author, but bigger groups, institutions or even regions and countries.

		Bibliometrics and beyond: some thoughts on web-based citation analysis
		As scientific publication moves to the web, and novel approaches to scholarly communication and peer review establish themselves, new methods of citation and link analysis will emerge to capture often liminal expressions of peer esteem, influence and approbation.

	[No title]
		Unfortunately there is a common misbelief on bibliometrics according to which such sophisticated statistical techniques are unnecessary, and the tasks of bibliometrics might be reduced to simple counting activities in order to replace qualitative assessment by impact factors and to set publication output off against funding.
		In fact, bibliometrics is much more than a simple publication and citation based gauging of scientific performance or than compiling of cleaned-up bibliographies on research domains extended by citation data.
		Since bibliometric tools have already an effect on decision-making in science policy and research management and the scientific community recognises the feedback in terms of their funding, there might be measurable repercussions on the scientists’ behaviour, too.
