OVERVIEW
Citations are a tool by which publishers can monitor and evaluate the
success of their publishing programme. In a journal publishing context, the
term bibliometrics 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 citation indexes, and the
workshop 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.
