[Bornmann, Lutz]

In recent months, we have developed methods for the application of bibliometrics in the area of humanities and social sciences (based on Google Scholar data). The results of our project are summarized in the following paper:

Bornmann, Lutz; Thor, Andreas; Marx, Werner; Schier, Hermann (2015): The application of bibliometrics to research evaluation in the humanities and social sciences: an exploratory study using normalized Google Scholar data for the publications of a research institute.
The paper is available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1293588
