The paper presents two fundamental models of scientific communication and characterizes and exemplifies the concept of ‘Scientometrics' and its sub-research areas: publication analysis, including so-called publication point evaluation; citation analysis; and crown indicators for research evaluation. The recent research area ‘Webometrics' is briefly discussed.
