Bibliometrics and altmetrics

These tutorials will introduce you to bibliometric and altmetric data and explain how they are used in research evaluation. Researchers and academics will find this resource useful for finding appropriate citations and altmetric data for research evaluation. This may be for an individual's publications, but also for research groups, or at school or university level. The tutorials also guide you in using metrics responsibly and ensuring that you are following principles laid out in DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment).
