- Abstract
- Bibliometric studies are mostly empirical in nature and they are mostly centred around the presentation of facts and data. The facts are gathered either through surveys or from published bibliographies, indexes and databases. Based on these facts, empirical models and principles are being developed. Normative principles and standards have to evolve from the logical analysis of the empirical models. The stage is set to integrate empirical models of bibliometrics into standards. Future bibliometric studies have to address this issue and reach the stage of normative principles
