The isolation of practitioners in bibliometrics: Observed challenges

The first post in an ongoing series about the realities of bibliometrics practice, the LIS-Bibliometrics Committee comment on four key challenges facing bibliometric practitioners in institutional settings: siloing within institutional settings, feelings of ineptness in relation to expertise and training, changing technological factors, and a misalignment between roles and policies. Readers are invited to share their own experiences, observations, and insights through an interactive survey, which will inform a subsequent “community-written” blog post.
