Publication Metrics and Reporting
KIT Library offers various services for monitoring and evaluating your research output. Using the institutional bibliography in the KITopen Repository, you can compile key metrics and generate publication lists. These are relevant, among other things, for reporting within the Helmholtz Association.
These key figures and reports are based on publication metrics, which are the subject of bibliometrics. In addition to the key figures available in KITopen, KIT Library compiles further bibliometric metrics for you from external databases.
One ID. A lifetime of impact.
One of the most powerful tools for enhancing the visibility of KIT and its researchers is a consistent data foundation in publication databases.
KITopen ensures this foundation.
ORCID connects the data globally.
