InCites Benchmarking & Analytics: Responsible Use of Research Metrics

InCites Benchmarking & Analytics is a research analytics tool.

Using Indicators Wisely

Research evaluation is increasingly being conducted using bibliometric methodology and citation analysis.

recommended that selections of bibliometrics indicators are utilized to provide a broader view and to
discover any data artifacts.


Clarivate Analytics InCites supports a comprehensive class of advanced bibliometric indicators assessing
various aspects of research performance.
