Overview: One day course
Bibliometrics in the broadest sense is simply the study of texts or information, but in a journal publishing context, it is most commonly used to refer to the analysis of citations between journal articles. This course provides an overview of bibliometrics with particular reference to journal metrics such as the Impact Factor, Eigenfactor, and SNIP indicator. Specific attention will be given to characteristics and differences between different citation indexes, and will include extensive hands-on use of these products, including an illustration of the types of analysis which can be derived from these data sources.
