A Community of Bibliometric Practitioners: Your Responses to a Survey on Isolation in the Field

In the third post of our ongoing series on the realities of bibliometrics practice, we highlight and discuss community responses to our community survey. Solutions proposed by respondents include increased recognition, enhanced integration of bibliometric work within institutions, and the creation of formal Communities of Practice. Changes that the wider bibliometrics community can make to help practitioners feel less isolated include providing networking and training opportunities, increasing guidance on tool use, and creating space for practitioners.
