Abstract
This poster investigates if ready-to-use bibliometric indicators can be used by individual scholars to enrich their curriculum vitae. Selected indicators were tested in four different fields and across 5 different academic seniorities. The results show performance in bibliometric evaluation is highly individual and using indicators as “benchmarks” unwise. Further the simple calculation of cites per publication per years-since-first-publication is a more informative indicator than the ready-to-use ones and cites-per-paper can be used to estimate if it is at all worth the scholar’s time to apply indicators to their CV.
Keywords: bibliometrics, ready-to-use indicators, nano-level evaluation, individual metrics, impact
