Well done

You can now name the main research metrics, interpret them correctly, and — crucially — use them responsibly.

Remember

• Journal metrics rate the journal, not your article;
• The h-index varies by field and career stage — never compare across them;
• Altmetrics show attention, not quality;
• Metrics support judgement; they never replace it (DORA, Leiden).

Where to go next

• Citation Databases & Bibliometric Tools — where these numbers come from.
• Building Your Researcher Identity — if you have not taken it yet.
• More on the FRELIP learning platform.
