Bibliometrics deal with the quantitative analysis of scientific publications using statistical methods. Areas of application include research evaluation (e.g. rankings) as well as research support (e.g. identification of research trends). Altmetrics record usage indicators of electronic publications, such as downloads, mentions in social networks, etc.

• What are bibliometrics?
• What key figures are there and how are they calculated?
• Where can I find the key figures?
• What are the applications of the indicators?
• Do the metrics say anything about the quality of publications?
• What are altmetrics?

You will get answers to these questions in the workshop and can apply your new knowledge directly to practical examples. You can watch a recording of a past workshop on Panopto with English subtitles (as of January 2025).
