9. WHAT WERE SOME LESSONS LEARNED?
• At the beginning many sessions with research groups to
explain the approaches
• Bibliometrics were also a pre-requisite for research
assessment in the social sciences
• All feedback was entered info our own systems to
improve data quality
• A bibliometric analysis could be performed at any moment
for any research unit, subject area of project across the
whole university
• Total transparency is a must
• Every researcher has access to all the information

• In the implementation phase, end of this year live
• Different needs for profiling research output between the partners
• Still in the phase of aggregation publication output. No advanced
analytical tools scheduled yet.
• Choices to make
• Buy of the shelf eg. SciVal
• Develop ourselves
• Altmetrics
