IGeLU 2025

Conference

While journal bibliometrics, on the one hand, but also qualitative peer review methods, on the other hand, are studied scientifically and practically applied all over the world, the world of books remains largely unexplored. Data at library level on acquisitions and usage of books are not combined with any metadata. Book citations, as opposed to journal citations, remain a mistery.

In the talk I consider a new scenario in which Library science and Bibliometrics talk to each other and develop new concepts and methods in the interest of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

New developments in the interoperability of software at the library level make it possible to design a new landscape. A new alliance is within reach.
