Scientific information resources and bibliometric indicators for the research performance assessment

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce users of scientific information resources into the bibliometric indicators used into the research performance assessment. These metric tools usually focus on the use of citation counts and number of publications to evaluate the interest, visibility and impact of research performance, and the researchers themselves. The exposed resources are models of platforms that provide added value to authors improving their knowledge about research trends, collaborations between scientists and also where to submit their manuscripts.
