Prudent use of metrics and tools

The University of Groningen recognizes the importance of using bibliometrics and altmetrics responsibly and adheres to the principles propagated in the Leiden Manifesto. The increasing sophistication of our benchmark tools allows us to do in-house analyses and provide benchmarks that can be used in various activities pertaining to research impact assessment, including SEP evaluations. As a result, the Research & Funding department of the Office of the University of Groningen has called for the prudent use of benchmarking tools and produced a set of Guidelines on this matter.
