This book is written for members of the scholarly research
community, and for persons involved in research evaluation and
research policy. More specifically, it is directed towards the
following four main groups of readers: - All scientists and
scholars who have been or will be subjected to a quantitative
assessment of research performance using citation analysis. -
Research policy makers and managers who wish to become conversant
with the basic features of citation analysis, and about its
potentialities and limitations. - Members of peer review committees
and other evaluators, who consider the use of citation analysis as
a tool in their assessments. - Practitioners and students in the
field of quantitative science and technology studies, informetrics,
and library and information science. Citation analysis involves the
construction and application of a series of indicators of the
'impact', 'influence' or 'quality' of scholarly work, derived from
citation data, i.e. data on references cited in footnotes or
bibliographies of scholarly research publications. Such indicators
are applied both in the study of scholarly communication and in the
assessment of research performance. The term 'scholarly' comprises
all domains of science and scholarship, including not only those
fields that are normally denoted as science - the natural and life
sciences, mathematical and technical sciences - but also social
sciences and humanities.
