Foundations of Research Metrics provides a comprehensive exploration into the methodologies and tools used to measure research impact effectively. Participants will engage with various metrics, including citation analysis, altmetrics, and bibliometrics, equipping them with the skills necessary to evaluate and enhance their research visibility. The course emphasizes practical application through project-based learning, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts.
Throughout the program, learners will collaborate on projects that culminate in publishable results, potentially featured in Cademix Magazine. This hands-on approach fosters an interactive learning environment, encouraging critical thinking and innovation in research assessment. By the end of the course, participants will possess a robust understanding of how to leverage research metrics to advance their academic and professional pursuits.
