Gover\u00adnance forms in science have changed in the last 20 years. Increased competive\u00adness, inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal\u00adiza\u00adtion, output-orient\u00aded control mecha\u00adnisms, evalu\u00ada\u00adtion, growth of grant-based funding, public account\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty, quali\u00adty manage\u00adment, insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal profil\u00ading and strate\u00adgic planning of research are some of the keywords of what is often summa\u00adrized as new public management.<\/p>\n
Such a steer\u00ading system not only needs valid infor\u00adma\u00adtion on input, output and process parame\u00adters on differ\u00adent levels but also requires a careful analy\u00adsis of the condi\u00adtions of the produc\u00adtion of knowl\u00adedge, changes in them and the results of inter\u00adven\u00adtions. Given this, not only science policy but also actors such as funding agencies, journal publish\u00aders, the econo\u00admy, members of civil society and the gener\u00adal public are reliant on scien\u00adto\u00admet\u00adric infor\u00adma\u00adtion that is subject to regular verification.<\/p>\n
One of the central sources of infor\u00adma\u00adtion is the system of scien\u00adtif\u00adic commu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion through which the dissem\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and valida\u00adtion of schol\u00adar\u00adly knowl\u00adedge is organized. Biblio\u00admet\u00adrics uses the data on authors, journals, insti\u00adtu\u00adtions, funding organi\u00adza\u00adtions and topics that arise from the commu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion process and trans\u00adforms them into indica\u00adtors, struc\u00adtur\u00adal displays and indexes.<\/p>\n
The KB for German Science funded since late 2008 by the Feder\u00adal Ministry for Research, Technol\u00ado\u00adgy and Space (BMFTR) has construct\u00aded a quali\u00adty controlled in-house data infra\u00adstruc\u00adture<\/a>, based on the databas\u00ades Scopus (Elsevi\u00ader), Web of Science (Clari\u00advate), and newly OpenAlex (OurRe\u00adsearch), for these purpos\u00ades and uses it for the devel\u00adop\u00adment and advance\u00adment of analyt\u00adi\u00adcal methods and indicators.<\/p>\nThe objec\u00adtives of the KB are<\/p>\n
\n- creation, devel\u00adop\u00adment and curation of a quali\u00adty-assured data infra\u00adstruc\u00adture for biblio\u00admet\u00adric applications<\/li>\n
- research into appro\u00adpri\u00adate biblio\u00admet\u00adric methods and indicators<\/li>\n
- inves\u00adti\u00adga\u00adtions on effects and meaning\u00adful\u00adness of biblio\u00admet\u00adric results<\/li>\n
- to support of young biblio\u00admet\u00adric researchers<\/li>\n
- to offer services, mainly biblio\u00admet\u00adric analy\u00adses, and counselling for the appli\u00adca\u00adtion and inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtions of biblio\u00admet\u00adric information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The KB has been funded by the feder\u00adal ministry of educa\u00adtion and research (BMBF) since the end of 2008. The goal of the first project phase was to create a quali\u00adty assured database infra\u00adstruc\u00adture and to make it usable for evalu\u00ada\u00adtion and monitor\u00ading. In partic\u00adu\u00adlar, the clean\u00ading and disam\u00adbigua\u00adtion of address data and the devel\u00adop\u00adment of automat\u00aded proce\u00addures to carry out these tasks contin\u00adu\u00adous\u00adly upon raw data deliv\u00adery was central.<\/p>\n
Research projects in this phase also focussed on the exten\u00adsion of the quali\u00adty assur\u00adance and on indica\u00adtor devel\u00adop\u00adment. Further\u00admore, initial feasi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty and pilot studies were conduct\u00aded. Other prior\u00adi\u00adties were the handling of errors and the improve\u00adment of the theory of biblio\u00admet\u00adric measure\u00adment. The experi\u00adence and correc\u00adtions that were gained through the appli\u00adca\u00adtion of the devel\u00adoped instru\u00adments were fed back into the databases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
