TRANSFER
SERVICES AND CONSULTING OFFERS
The participating partner institutions of the Kompetenznetzwerk Bibliometrie offer services and advice to third parties. Universities, research institutions, funding organisations and policymakers can commission the following services:
- Comprehensive analysis of the performance of scientific institutions or sub-areas
- Provision of key figures and performance indicators for evaluation processes
- Collaboration and co-publication network analyses
- Advice on the interpretation, use and further development of indicator-based evaluation systems
Generally, contracts are undertaken by the individual institutions of the network, rather than the Kompetenznetzwerk Bibliometrie. If you are interested in commissioning a service, please contact the relevant institution or the central office.

Monitoring
The data processed and hosted by the KB have been and continue to be used as the basis for a number of evaluation and monitoring projects of significance for the German science system. These include:
STANDARD REPORT FOR UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS
Bibliometric data and analyses support evaluations, strategic research planning, quality management, and reporting requirements of scientific institutions and universities. The partners of KB create standardized analyses (“standard report”) for this purpose, which promptly inform about the key bibliometric indicators of an institution. Specific individual questions from the context of the respective institution can be examined in a separate analysis if needed. All analyses are based on data from the Web of Science from the specially prepared, quality-assured KB in-house data infrastructure. This infrastructure is based on the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus (Elsevier) databases. The latter can be used for comparison purposes in the analysis if needed.
An introduction to the KB standard report and its use in libraries has been published in b.i.t. online [pdf].
The KB’s Standard Reporting
The standard reporting of the Competence Center for Bibliometrics provides information on publications, subject areas, collaborations, and impact for any scientific institution in Germany and compares the key figures to the respective academic sector. The report offers a quantitative overview of the institution’s published research results over a multi-year period in an appropriate context.

SKILLS TRANSFER
Knowledge transfer has become an integral part of scientific work. For us as the KB, this includes other components such as the transfer of skills as well as science communication tailored to different audiences. All of these topics are explored and researched in one of our network projects, which we utilise here. Our aim is to communicate the latest knowledge on bibliometric research in a competent way that also appeals to the wider public.
