Analysing and evaluating research metrics
Bibliometrics is the quantitative analysis of scholarly outputs to provide an indication of their impact on academic and public discourse.
Whilst peer review and expert judgement are central components of research assessment, quantitative indicators such as citations, policy mentions or data downloads etc. can support decision-making. As a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) the university is committed to using research metrics responsibly.
