Leiden Manifesto for research metrics published in Nature

We’re happy to announce the publication of ten principles to guide the use of metrics in research evaluation – a collaboration between Diana Hicks (Georgia Tech), Ismael Rafols (Ingenio/SPRU), Paul Wouters, Sarah de Rijcke and Ludo Waltman (CWTS). The principles were formulated on the basis of input from the scientometric community during a special session on the development of good practices for metrics use at the STI/ENID conference in Leiden (September 2014).
