Bibliometrics

Bibliometrics is the application of mathematical and statistical methods on books, journal articles, book chapters and other forms of communication media. By use of the researchers' scientific publications, you may gain useful generalised information about the research activities in a university.

Bibliometric Services, located at Gothenburg University Library, are serving the University of Gothenburg with a variety of analyses. Do you or your research group have questions about bibliometrics? Please contact us for a discussion on how we can help you.

Examples of indicators and information we can give

• Number of publications from a unit (for example research group, university, country)
• Number of citations per publication for a unit
• Uncitedness for a unit
• Co-authorships between units, within or outside the university
• How is University of Gothenburg cited compared to the world average
• The cutting edge in a particular subject area
