This session forms part of the Reading Researcher Development Programme (RRDP) for Research Postgraduates, and is also available to University Staff.

Do you know what your h-index is or how to find your field weighted citation impact? Bibliometrics are increasingly used to evaluate journals, researchers and research groups. Bibliometric data can help you choose the right journal for your next research article – there is a lot more than the Journal Impact Factor to take into account. Find out how to track the impact of your research outputs by looking at various metrics around citations. In this session, we will look at the responsible use of metrics, examine several well-used metrics and learn how to use them to demonstrate the impact of your research and evaluate the work of others. This session will also include practical exercises.

If you are a Research Postgraduate, please book your place through Reading's Student Information System (RISIS). The timetable can be viewed on the RRDP webpage in the 'Things to do now' section. You can also view a full timetable in the Doctoral and Researcher College site on Blackboard.

If you are University Staff, please book your place via UoRLearn.
