About research metrics and publishing
Research metrics, also called bibliometrics, are proxy measures of research performance and give you a method to quantify your research output, your collaborations, and the level of engagement with your work compared to others at a similar stage of career. These metrics don’t provide an indicator of research quality and so are often used in conjunction with quality measures.
