Reviews
This guide consists of seven chapters on the use of metrics to assess the impact of research. Librarians and other researchers from the US present case studies on how a variety of research impact indicators are being used in specialized settings, particularly the physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. They describe the measurement of the scholarly output of the National Center for Atmospheric Research; metrics used by Michigan Publishing to assess the impact of monographs, journals, and other publications; a methodology to track and measure the impact of research conducted by the University of California Institute of Transportation Studies; bibliometric services used by the Environmental Protection Agency's Library at Research Triangle Park; and the use of altmetrics for tracking attention to published research by museum staff and affiliated research associates at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. -- Copyright 2019 * Portland, OR *
