Archambault, É. et V. Larivière (2010) The limits of bibliometrics for the analysis of the social science et humanities literature in World Social Science Report. Knowledge Divides, Paris, UNESCO Publishing et International Social Science Council, pp. 251-254
There are several limits to the use of bibliometric analysis of scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities. This paper reviews three of those limits: the lower proportion of social science and humanities journal articles; social sciences and humanities literature’s ageing rate, and conversely its post-publication citation rate; and the local relevance of social sciences and humanities knowledge. It also discusses the choice of bibliometric databases when measuring social sciences and humanities research.
