Bibliometrics
The term Bibliometrics denotes the quantitative analysis and evaluation of the publication-related behaviour of scholars or research institutions.
A variety of data sources can be used in generating bibliometric surveys. The following databases are available to LMU Munich members:
- the publication and citation database Web of Science,
- including the additional component Incites for more comprehensive research evaluation, and
- die Journal Citation Reports, with which the Journal Impact Factor of a given journal can be determined.
The Bibliometrics Division of the University Library will be happy to answer any questions you may have on this topic. Please see the right-hand column for contact details. In addition, the University Library offers LMU members a publication and citation analysis service.
Indication of affiliation on publications
Publications by LMU scholars should be clearly attributable to Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. It is therefore essential to use the correct designation of LMU on the publication.
In a letter dated 31/07/2023, the President of LMU stipulated the correct designation of LMU in both German and English:
- Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
- Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich
- LMU Munich
The President's letter on the indication of affiliation.
The Research Organization Registry Identifier (ROR ID) is a sustainable and unique identifier for research organisations worldwide. The ROR ID for LMU is https://ror.org/05591te55
The appropriate Chair, working group, institute, clinic etc. can also be specified.
For affiliation with multiple institutions the following applies:
- first, give the name of the institution where the main portion of the scholarly work was carried out,
- then give the names of the other institutions.
To ensure your affiliation is recognised, please use your institutional e-mail address when submitting your work.
