Hardin Open Workshops - Measuring Impact: H-Index, Impact Factor, and other Metrics (Zoom)

Metrics like Impact Factor and h-index are often used to measure the impact that journals, authors, and articles have had on a particular field. But how are these numbers calculated and what do they really mean? In this workshop, you'll learn how to use tools like Journal Citation Reports, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to find these metrics. We'll also discuss the importance of thinking critically about what they mean and how they're used.
