Scientometrics, broadly speaking, is a branch of knowledge concerned with measuring various characteristics of research, especially communication in research. Bibliometrics, as a sub-branch of scientometrics, has become highly accessible to the research and general public, and seemingly brought on a simple way to evaluate research productivity. In order to use bibliometrics reasonably and purposefully HSE created a Scientometrics Centre, which is headed by Ivan Sterligov and focuses on the applied use of scientometrics.

In its 27th  issue The HSE Look presents the work of the Scientometrics Centre and how research results are measured at HSE. The issue also continues the tradition of interviews with international faculty and visiting scholars: five of them talk about their research and teaching projects in Moscow, Perm and Nizhniy Novgorod, and guests and speakers from the April Conference share their impressions of HSE’s flagship conference.
