WE TURN DATA INTO META-KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SCIENCE
Bibliometric metadata on scientific publications provide unique, large-scale insights into the science and innovation system. Bibliometrics develops specific methods and indicators for analyzing this system and is supported in Germany by the Kompetenznetzwerk Bibliometrie (KB). The KB collaboratively develops and operates a data infrastructure within and for the network, supports its use for research and reporting through capacity building, and fosters knowledge exchange among users. The open network brings together more than 25 institutions from various fields – including information science, sociology, economics, and computer science. In addition to supporting and enriching bibliometric research, the KB also aims to promote knowledge transfer through bibliometric reports and monitoring activities for stakeholders in the science system.

BIBLIOMETRIC DATA AND ANALYSIS
Bibliometric analysis draws from a pool of data so vast in breadth and temporal depth, that it can reveal unexpected patterns and, based on these insights, suggest future trajectories. If you’re new to bibliometrics, take a look at this example.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The KB is a central contact point for research and development in bibliometrics nationally. Below you will find links to the research projects of our partner institutions, external projects that employ KB infrastructure, and the projects that develop the KB’s data infrastructure.
