Bibliometrics are a quantitative way to assess research. At their simplest, these metrics measure total publications and total citations, but can expand to include complex network analysis and give an overview of the research environment. As with all metrics, numbers only tell part of the story and they should be used to support expert judgement.
It is essential to use metrics fairly and appropriately: metrics are affected strongly by discipline, year of publication, document type, and by career length. The University Responsible Research Metrics policy sets out terms for using appropriate research metrics responsibly.
