Bibliometrics and evaluation of research
Bibliometrics is the quantitative analyses of academic publishing. It can be a way of understanding the publication and citation patterns of a subject area or institution over time. These methods are increasingly used in the evaluation of research and the allocation of research funding.
Support on bibliometrics
At LUSEM Library, we can help produce various reports on, for example, publications, citations and collaborations.
For instance, we can produce reports that:
- show how different publications, researchers or research groups have been cited by others
- show how your organisation collaborates with stakeholders both within and outside academia
- showcase your organisation’s collective research output over a specific period
Larger bibliometric studies are carried out by the University Library. Faculties, departments and research groups are given priority over individual researchers.

Research evaluation at LUSEM
LUSEM aims to use a variety of metrics to evaluate research, with weighting applied based on the publication and citation patterns of different subjects.
For a publication to be included, it must be registered as published in LUCRIS. It must be linked to your work at LUSEM through the affiliation stated on the publication and in LUCRIS. Large-scale data extracts are often obtained by matching Scopus and LUCRIS. Having an ORCID makes it easier to link a publication to a researcher. Your affiliation is also crucial for evaluations at Lund University and at a national level.
The key ranking lists are:
