Description
We invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators to join this month’s call of the CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice for a session on Enhancing Citation Integrity through Bibliometrics.In the ever-changing world of scholarly publishing, the increase in questionable journals poses significant risks to the credibility of academic work. This session, led by Dr Barbara S. Lancho Barrantes, will explore the important role of bibliometrics in safeguarding research integrity. By analysing citation patterns and publication practices, researchers can effectively identify and address citation risks. Furthermore, the emergence of various types of questionable citations, such as citation cartels, misleading citations, over-citations, phantom citations etc., complicates the landscape even more. This session will offer practical strategies for using bibliometrics to reduce these risks. Participants will learn to assess source quality critically, recognize problematic citation patterns, and use bibliometric tools to enhance their professional practice.
