Bibliometrics "can be used to document and justify the role of the researcher and the research team for being partners or coordinators of the project. Often CVs of the involved partners have to be provided with publication lists and other types of bibliometric information (H-index, Journal impact factor, and so on)". (ScienceDirect)

The information listed below showcases the more popular Bibliometric software.

ResearcherID is a global, multi-disciplinary scholarly research community. This is one of the critical research support software which is promoted by Clarivate and Web of Science.

With a unique identifier assigned to each author in ResearcherID, you can eliminate author misidentification and view an author’s citation metrics
instantly. Search the registry to find collaborators, review publication lists and explore how research is used around the world.

It is important to note that in using ResearcherID, you will be able to develop a citation analysis of your research output for those articles you have published in the Web of Science (Core Collection).
