Key Bibliometric Indicators
Citation Analysis – Measures how often a publication is cited by other researchers.
h-Index – A metric that quantifies a researcher’s productivity and citation impact.
Impact Factor (IF) – A measure of a journal’s average citation frequency over a specific period.
Altmetrics – Alternative metrics that track social media mentions, downloads, and other online engagement.
Collaboration Networks – Analyzing co-authorships to study research collaborations.
