Abstract

This workshop introduces researchers to a variety of traditional and alternative bibliometric assessment tools. These metric tools are each defined and their potential uses, abuses, benefits, and drawbacks discussed. Researchers are then shown how to effectively utilize these metric tools to best fit their personal research needs and assess their research impact.
