Bibliometric tools

Always consider the context when applying metrics. SCImago Journal Rank normalizes for differences in citation behavior between subject fields.

Google Scholar is another way to collect bibliometric data. It is a search engine that searches through the files of most of the world's largest university libraries, large-scale repositories, the complete electronic versions of journals published by major publishing houses, and books indexed and made accessible by Google Books.

For example, search for the publications associated with a grant, and then generate a bibliometric summary report for those publications or obtain a formatted list of references.
