The use of bibliometric analysis in research performance assessment and monitoring of interdisciplinary scientific developments
Open accessAbstract
This paper1 presents an overview of advanced bibliometric methods for (1) objective and transparent assessment of strengths and weaknesses in research performance, and (2) monitoring interdisciplinary scientific developments.In the first application, we focus on the detailed analysis of research performance in an international comparative perspective.We demonstrate that advanced bibliometric methods are, particularly at the level of research groups, university departments and institutes, an indispensable element next to peer review in research evaluation procedures.We address specific problems for the social sciences.In the second application, monitoring of scientific (basic and applied) developments, recent advances in bibliometric mapping techniques are promising.They are unique instruments to discover patterns in the structure of scientific fields, to identify processes of knowledge dissemination, and to visualize the dynamics of scientific developments.We discuss briefly their potential for unraveling interdisciplinary developments and interfaces between science and technology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
