Bibliometrics/Theory, Practice and Problems.
Narin, Francis; And Others
Evaluation Review, v18 n1 p65-76 Feb 1994
Theory behind modern evaluative bibliometric techniques is reviewed at three levels: (1) policy application; (2) strategic analysis; and (3) tactical analysis. New techniques developed at each level and limitations of each approach are discussed. At all levels, the process begins with assembling data and then moves to a data-based evaluation. (SLD)
