In the Metrics & Impact Core, we use a variety of metrics and indicators to help assess research outputs. Many of these metrics are bibliometrics, or citation-based metrics. These metrics are categorized into three silos:
| Author Level Indicators | Article or Book Level Indicators | Journal Level Indicators |
| g-index | Altmetrics Score | CiteScore |
| h-index | Category Normalized Citation Impact | Eigenfactor |
| i10-index | Citation Count | Immediacy Index |
| m-quotient | Field Citation Ratio (FCR) | Journal Impact Factor (JIF) |
| Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) | SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) | |
| Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) | Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) |
There are many ways we can talk about how our research impacts the world and there are several indicators that can assist in that discussion.
