Bibliometrics in Health Sciences Library
23 essential books for anyone who designs, reads or judges bibliometric studies in the health sciences. Each record brings together bibliographic details, a cover, a short rationale, and the table of contents: a reading map from the foundations of citation analysis and the indicator handbooks to science mapping, altmetrics, responsible metrics, research integrity and the few books that apply these methods directly to health research.

Selection criteria. Book-length works devoted specifically to bibliometrics in the health sciences are few, so the portfolio combines (1) the core bibliometrics and research evaluation texts used by health sciences libraries and programmes (for example the UCSF Library bibliometrics guide and the Wellcome Collection medical holdings), (2) reference works from the leading centres of the field (CWTS Leiden, KU Leuven ECOOM, Indiana University, Drexel, Montréal), (3) widely read and highly rated books on responsible metrics and metric fixation, and (4) the small number of books that apply bibliometric methods directly to health and biomedical literatures. Records marked “≈ contents” were compiled from publisher and catalogue sources and may differ slightly in wording, order or headings; please verify against the publisher page before citation.
