Dear Professionals
National Aerospace Laboratories(NAL) is organising interesting talks by
Dr. Gangan Pratap on "Research Assessment using Bibliometrics Indicators".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Details of the Talk:
13 May 2010 * The measurement of science
* Principles and practice
14 May 2010 * The assessment of Indian science
* A thermodynamical approach to bibliometric sequences
Time: 3 P.M.
Venue: KTMD Seminar HALL, NAL.
About the talk:
In these lectures, the stage is set for the need for measuring and quantifying
scientific activity. The tools used are borrowed from bibliometrics, and the
definition of the elements and principles of bibliometrics will be taken up, as
well as an assessment of the state of Indian Science. The final lecture shows
how bibliometric assessment can go beyond conventional statistics and use
thermodynamical insights for quantification.
