Abstract: This paper presents a model describing the various possibilities 
in the application of bibliometric techniques in evaluation processes. The 
model distinguishes between the goals and functions of a bibliometric 
analysis, and clearly indicates the limits of the various bibliometric 
approaches. In the so-called top-down or bottom-up approaches, the 
importance of verification of publication material is indicated. Another 
important feature of the paper is the description of the problem of the 
interpretation of the relationship between on the one hand organizational 
structures, and on the other hand fields of science, in the light of the 
two main approaches in bibliometric studies. Finally the paper contains a 
number of case-study examples of the model described.
