Metrics
Measure research performance and attention to your research.
Use research (or publication) metrics when you apply for a grant, promotion or as part of your Annual Performance and Development process. Measures include citation metrics, journal quality indicators, benchmarking, altmetrics and collaboration.
Research metrics can:
- provide evidence of influence or performance when applying for grants and promotions
- quantify return on research investment when applying for grant renewals
- highlight the value of your research in progress reports, including school, institute and research centre reviews, and research assessment exercises
- identify who is using your work.
