A large number of metrics are available to evalutaion committees at research and funding insti-tions. Here we will cover a few of the ones that may be of importance for a researcher at AAU. 1. The Bibliometric Research Indicator (BFI) provides an overview of research publications  from Danish universities. The BFI system is an element of the performance-based model for  distribution of the new block grant based on the production of research-based publications.2. The h-index attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of  a researcher. The h-index expresses the number of articles (h) that have at least h citations.  Be aware, that the h-index is source dependent. Sources may be Scopus, Web of Science,  Google Scholar and more. Pure receives citation counts from Scopus, that means if  publications are missing or erroneous in Pure, they are not included in the h-index.3. Source Normalized Impact per Paper (sNIP) is a journal metric that accounts for  field-specific differences in citation practices.4. Field Weighted Citation Impact (FWcI) is a publication metric that takes into account the  differences across disciplines.5. Next-generation metrics are often referred to as SoMe metrics. However social media  may not be the only part of this. The Open Science agenda may require that many other  aspects of research are taken into account.Do you need help please contact vbn@aub.aau.dk.
