Introduction The scientific community has developed many institutionalized forms of evaluation where peer review has an important role, but recently, bibliometric methods have been gaining some acceptability to assess the scientific performance. The two techniques have been related to one another in different ways: 1) bibliometric methods have been used to analyze the peer review processes (Moe...

This paper analyzes several well-known bibliometric indices using an axiomatic approach. We concentrate on indices aiming at capturing the global impact of a scientific output and do not investigate indices aiming at capturing an average impact. Hence, the indices that we study are designed to evaluate authors or groups of authors but not journals. The bibliometric indices that are studied incl...

F. W. Lancaster, as the most cited author during the 1970s to early 1990s, has broad intellectual influence in many fields of research in library and information science. This bibliometric study collected citation data for Lancaster’s publications from 1972 to 2006 and analyzed the data in terms of the time and space and disciplinary breadth of his intellectual influence. The result shows that ...

This presentation will focus on the use of current research information systems (CRIS) for analysing research output. During the last decades bibliometric indicators have to an increasing extent been employed in science-policy processes and research evaluations. Such indicators normally rely on data provided by Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). In this case study we applied the CRIS d...
