“…The focus lately has shifted from informing library decisions on selection and evaluation of printed materials and electronic resources to supporting the analysis and assessment of research output at individual, departmental, and institutional levels (Gumpenberger et al, 2012), although traditional applications to collection development have continued in the United States (Beck & Manuel, 2008) and Australia (Davis, Wilson, & Horn, 2005 (Adams, 2007;Gibbs & Sergeant, 2009;Pan & Breen, 2011) and specialist bibliometrics events (Gumpenberger et al, 2012), Internet resource guides published in practitioner periodicals (Kear & Colbert-Lewis, 2011;Roemer & Borchadt, 2012), and comprehensive LibGuides produced by individual libraries (e.g., Arizona State University, 2012; Macquarie University, 2012; University of Pittsburgh, 2012), along with articles calling for librarians to assume a more strategic role in research evaluation and its management (Herther, 2009;Joint, 2008;MacColl, 2010).

Developments in network technologies, scholarly communication, and national policy are challenging academic libraries to find new ways to engage with research communities in the economic downturn. Librarians are responding with service innovations in areas such as bibliometrics and research data management. Previous surveys have investigated research data support within North America and other research services globally with small samples. An online multiple-choice questionnaire was used to survey bibliometric and data support activities of 140 libraries in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, including current and planned services, target audiences, service constraints, and staff training needs. A majority of respondents offered or planned bibliometrics training, citation reports, and impact calculations but with significant differences between countries. Current levels of engagement in data management were lower than for bibliometrics, but a majority anticipated future involvement, especially in technology assistance, data deposit, and policy development. Initiatives were aimed at multiple constituencies, with university administrators being important clients and partners for bibliometric services. Gaps in knowledge, skills, and confidence were significant constraints, with near-universal support for including bibliometrics and particularly data management in professional education and continuing development programs. The study also found that librarians need a multilayered understanding of the research environment.

“…Os outros indicadores são auto-explicativos. Uma crítica ao sistema se dá por conta de fazer uso de uma base de dados apenas, sendo que existem planos de que ele se integre ao sistema os dados do CiteULike (ROEMER; BORCHARDT, 2012).…”

“…As métricas tradicionais geram conflitos principalmente nas fronteiras disciplinares ou em áreas multidisciplinares, onde os resultados destes indicadores podem levar a um severo erro de julgamento, bem como nas especialidades acadêmicas que apresentam nuances ou que sofrem influencia mais direta de blogs e mídias sociais na sua difusão (ROEMER; BORCHARDT, 2012).…”
