Tracking your research impact
Research impact can be measured in many ways. Citation databases and alternative metric tools can be used to assess the output and impact of an individual’s paper or body of work.
Three main bibliometric sources
Various tools are available to identify a range of bibliometrics.
Alternative sources and metrics
Certain disciplines, journals, and document types may not be well represented in the more traditional sources for citation analysis, such as Web of Science and Scopus.
Limitations
There has been much debate about the use of bibliometrics in academia.
Support
The Research Evaluation and Assessment Service (REAS) team of the University Library - member of the Research Intelligence Community EUR - is available to consult with faculty and staff about measuring research impact.
