Bibliometric Scientometrics
Informatics harnesses the
power and possibility of
digital technology to
transform data and
information into knowledge
that people use every day.
Bibliometrics is a quantitative
method for analyzing the content
and citations of scholarly
journals, books, and researchers.
It measures the impact of a
publication by counting how
many times it's cited by other
resources.
Scientometrics is a subfield of
informetrics that studies quantitative
aspects of scholarly literature. Major
research issues include the measurement
of the impact of research papers and
academic journals, the understanding of
scientific citations, and the use of such
measurements in policy and management
contexts.

resources. It focuses on the number
and types of hyperlinks between
different websites, and the impact of
the web..
Cybernetics is the study of the
quantitative aspects of the
construction and use of information
resources, structures, and
technologies on the internet.
Altmetrics is a term to
describe web-based metrics

9. What is Altmetric?
Alternative metrics (altmetrics) measure the
volume of online attention to research, which
can come from a variety of sources, such as
