Bibliometrics

Bibliometrics is the quantitative analysis of scholarly publications, intended to provide an indication of their impact on academic and public discourse. Traditionally, bibliometrics takes account of the number of times a research paper is cited, in order to compare it against other papers in the same field (University of York, n.d.). Bibliometrics include what is called ‘altmetrics,’ which can be considered a subset of bibliometrics. See also, Almetrics.
