  Rousseau, R. ; Egghe, L. ; Guns, R.: Becoming metric-wise : a bibliometric guide for researchers.
  Cambridge, MA : Elsevier, Chandos Publishing, 2018. xv, 385 S.
  ISBN 978-0-08-102474-4
  
  Abstract: Aims to inform researchers about metrics so that they become aware of the evaluative techniques being applied to their scientific output. Understanding these concepts will help them during their funding initiatives, and in hiring and tenure. The book not only describes what indicators do (or are designed to do, which is not always the same thing), but also gives precise mathematical formulae so that indicators can be properly understood and evaluated. Metrics have become a critical issue in science, with widespread international discussion taking place on the subject across scientific journals and organizations. As researchers should know the publication-citation context, the mathematical formulae of indicators being used by evaluating committees and their consequences, and how such indicators might be misused, this book provides an ideal tome on the topic. Provides researchers with a detailed understanding of bibliometric indicators and their applications. Empowers researchers looking to understand the indicators relevant to their work and careers. Presents an informed and rounded picture of bibliometrics, including the strengths and shortcomings of particular indicators. Supplies the mathematics behind bibliometric indicators so they can be properly understood. Written by authors with longstanding expertise who are considered global leaders in the field of bibliometrics

  Abstract: The 4th edition of this popular and well-cited text is now co-authored, and includes significant changes from earlier texts. Presenting a comprehensive review of over a century of research on information behavior (IB), this book is intended for students in information studies and disciplines interested in research on information activities. The initial two chapters introduce IB as a multi-disciplinary topic, the 3rd provides a brief history of research on information seeking. Chapter four discusses what is meant by the terms "information" and "knowledge. "Chapter five discusses "information needs," and how they are addressed. The 6th chapter identifies many related concepts. Twelve models of information behavior (expanded from earlier editions) are illustrated in chapter seven. Chapter eight reviews various paradigms and theories informing IB research. Chapter nine examines research methods invoked in IB studies and a discussion of qualitative and mixed approaches. The 10th chapter gives examples of IB studies by context. The final chapter looks at strengths and weaknesses, recent trends, and future development.

  Gingras, Y.: Bibliometrics and research evaluation : uses and abuses.
  Cambridge, MA : MIT Press, 2016. xii, 119 S.
  ISBN 978-0-262-03512-5

  Abstract: The research evaluation market is booming. "Ranking," "metrics," "h-index," and "impact factors" are reigning buzzwords. Government and research administrators want to evaluate everything -- teachers, professors, training programs, universities -- using quantitative indicators. Among the tools used to measure "research excellence," bibliometrics -- aggregate data on publications and citations -- has become dominant. Bibliometrics is hailed as an "objective" measure of research quality, a quantitative measure more useful than "subjective" and intuitive evaluation methods such as peer review that have been used since scientific papers were first published in the seventeenth century. In this book, Yves Gingras offers a spirited argument against an unquestioning reliance on bibliometrics as an indicator of research quality. Gingras shows that bibliometric rankings have no real scientific validity, rarely measuring what they pretend to. Although the study of publication and citation patterns, at the proper scales, can yield insights on the global dynamics of science over time, ill-defined quantitative indicators often generate perverse and unintended effects on the direction of research. Moreover, abuse of bibliometrics occurs when data is manipulated to boost rankings. Gingras looks at the politics of evaluation and argues that using numbers can be a way to control scientists and diminish their autonomy in the evaluation process. Proposing precise criteria for establishing the validity of indicators at a given scale of analysis, Gingras questions why universities are so eager to let invalid indicators influence their research strategy.

  Anmerkung: Rez. in: Mitt VÖB 66(2013) H.2, S.396-388 (K. Niedermair): "Das Thema des vorliegenden Sammelbandes ist Informationskompetenz, sein Ziel ist (so ließe sich der Untertitel paraphrasieren) zweifach. Einerseits zu berichten über den state of art der Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz im tertiären Bildungssektor in Großbritannien, detaillierte Einblicke zu geben in Initiativen, Projekte und best practices. Andererseits theoretische Grundlagen und Perspektiven zu formulieren für künftige Projektaktivitäten und -anträge. Denn - das ist die Kernaussage des Buches - im Kontext der Informationsgesellschaft und des sich verändernden Bildungs- und Hochschulwesens erfordert die Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz neue Strategien und Konzepte, in inhaltlicher Hinsicht, in politischer, aber auch was didaktische Herangehensweisen betrifft. ... Das Buch greift die Herausforderungen auf, die für die Vermittlung von lnformationskompetenz angesichts der weltweiten Veränderungen im Hochschulwesen entstehen. Das Buch setzt auf neue Lehr-/Lernmethoden, es mahnt im Sinne eines "call to the arms" (S. 10) Initiativen und Projekte ein, denen man Aufmerksamkeit schenken sollte, um die Kernaufgabe der Bibliothek, lnformationskompetenz zu vermitteln, im 21. Jahrhundert neu gestalten zu können. Dazu ein abschließendes Zitat: "We cannot predict the future but we believe that defining the 21st century librarian is about being a teacher and educator not a custodian and keeper of the tomes; it is about, through teaching, turning information into knowledge." (S. 12)"
