Open Evaluation - Openness in bibliometric analyses
What is Open Evaluation/ Bibliometrics?
Bibliometrics is the measurement of scientific output, mostly publications, the impact of which is determined, quantitatively, by citations or downloads. Open Evaluation signals openness of the used data, methods and results of bibliometric analyses. These data should enable a more objective science planning and evaluation.
Services of the University Library
As part of Open Science, we as a library not only make our bibliometric analyses freely available, but also endeavour to use free citation data as the basis for our analyses. This not only facilitates subsequent use, but also improves the quality of the analyses as they become more comprehensible and transparent.
More information on bibliometrics can be found here: https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/ub/publizieren/bibliometrie/indikatoren.html.
