Book reviews in humanities research evaluations
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
Bibliometric research evaluations in the Humanities are rarely carried out due to drawbacks associated with collecting and using Web of Science data. In this paper we note some of the progress that scholars are making in this area of study, and focus on the growth of book reviews and their citedness in the Humanities journal literature. Book reviews are often used by Humanities scholars for teaching and research, thus for subjects (i.e., History or Literature) where reviewing is a prominent activity we suggest the development of a measure that recognizes their influence on scholarly communication.
