In bibliometrics, we assess the productivity and reputation of individual researchers, institutions or universities by collecting data from literature databases and analysing it with the help of mathematical-statistical methods. The results play important roles in funding decisions and application procedures.

We offer advice on:

- levying bibliometic data
- using and interpreting bibliometric indicators for researchers, institutions and departments
- the limits of and methodological problems associated with bibliometrics
- searching the bibliometric database Web of science
- creating researcher profiles (e.g. ResearcherID)
- alternative methods (altmetrics)
