OVERVIEW
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.
TUTORS
Iain Craig, Wiley-Blackwell
James Hardcastle, Taylor & Francis
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This course is suitable for staff with a responsibility to undertake, or to
discuss, bibliometric analysis in the widest sense (e.g. editorial,
marketing, and data analysts). It is suitable both for junior, or recently
appointed staff, plus those with more experience looking to supplement
existing knowledge.
This course will commence at 09:30 (registration, with tea/coffee, from
