Research Impact
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. Traditionally, the research impact of a researcher is measured by the number of publications he or she has published in peer-reviewed journals, the citation counts his or her papers have received, and the researcher’s H-index. These metrics are usually gathered from citation databases such as Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar.

Research data management refers to all aspects of creating, housing, delivering, maintaining, archiving and preserving research data. It is one of the essential areas of responsible conduct of research.
