Publication metrics provide a quantitative approach to the analysis of publications and researchers and can help you with information about the reach and potential impact of your research, as well as helping you to make decisions about where to publish.

This 90-minute workshop will introduce the benefits and limitations of a number of tools which provide publication metrics for both the individual researcher, research output and for institutional level analysis. It will provide opportunities to discuss the importance of the responsible use of bibliometric data and it will also look at the University’s commitment to the responsible use of publication metrics.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop you will have:

• an awareness of recent developments and debates within the field of bibliometrics
• learned how to find and evaluate commonly used metrics
• considered the benefits and limitations of each metric and understand how to use publication metrics responsibly
• discovered how to use both 'traditional' metrics and altmetrics to illustrate the use of your research and that of others.
