Research metrics
Research metrics are quantitative measurements designed to evaluate research outputs and their impacts. Metrics include a variety of measures and statistical methods for assessing the quality and broader impact of scientific and scholarly research.
A single metric only tells part of a wider story and each metric has its own limitations. Therefore a single metric should never be considered in isolation.
