The excellent website Measuring Your Research Impact is a collaboration between three Irish academic libraries, and provides a comprehensive overview of what bibliometrics and citations analysis means.
The Metrics Toolkit is a resource for researchers and evaluators that provides guidance for demonstrating and evaluating claims of research impact. With the Toolkit you can quickly understand what a metric means, how it is calculated, and if it’s a good match for your impact question.
The goal of the NIH Library’s bibliometrics training series is to provide free, on-demand training on how the National Institutes of Health (NIH) do bibliometrics for research evaluation. The training series consists of 13 individual courses, organized into 7 thematic areas.
Bibliometrics is the quantitative analysis of research literature, based upon citations, and can be used to evaluate the impact on the academic community of a research paper, an individual researcher, a research group or institution, or a journal. The metrics can be used to help you make decisions about where to publish, and to compare yourself or your institution against others.
Whether you are searching for information, publishing a paper, or evaluating information sources, knowing about citations is important. This guide gives you an idea of where to find citations, how citations can be used to explore the best places to publish, and how to improve your research impact using tried and tested methods to increase citations.
The IATUL group of libraries have created a programme that aims to equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to engage in the use of a range of metrics around research impact and gain understanding of the research landscape. IATUL Research Impact Things is self-paced training programme covering eleven major themes. Each topic is broken up into three levels:
