The Library provides data and advice so that you can confidently use appropriate metrics to showcase your academic impact.

Citation Metrics Service Charter

The Library provides tiered support for researchers who are:

• applying for a grant or promotion
• seeking evidence for strategic publishing decision-making

Academics, postdoctoral researchers, and HDR students can request individualised support. For details please refer to the service charter.

If you require immediate support, please see the self-help guides.

• Strategic publishing: Use citation metrics to assess academic influence
• Compare citation metrics
• Use altmetrics to assess engagement

You may still wish to meet with an Academic Liaison Librarian for guidance.

To request a citation metrics report

If you would like a citation metrics report as described in the Citation Metrics Service Charter, a minimum of two weeks is required.

Contact your Academic Liaison Librarian to make an appointment or discuss further.
