Modern science is evaluated not only by the quality of publications but also by citation and impact metrics of researchers—both over their entire careers and during specified periods. One of the most important tools in this area is the database Science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators (Elsevier), which contains standardized bibliometric data such as citation counts, h-index, and indicators adjusted for co-authorship and self-citations.
Between 23 and 26 September, Lodz University of Technology will welcome nearly 90 representatives from 12 European universities and one university from Mexico, all members of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU).”
