Bibliometrics have become more prolific in recent years. In addition to the well-known h-index and journal impact factor, we now have top percentile rankings for journals and citations, citation impacts and field-weighted citation impacts. Dr Matt Walker, Customer Consultant, Research Intelligence in Elsevier (producers of both the Scopus database and SciVal benchmarking tool) will demystify these and other metrics and talk about their responsible use – the importance of robustness, transparency and diversity, both in terms of a range of metrics as well diversity between fields.
