Studies in correlative assessing of intrinsic and extrinsic indicators of quality

Book Contribution - Chapter

© 2014 Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden. All rights are reserved. Taking up work done by other partners in EERQI and more specifically the quality indicators identified we tried to establish a significant correlation between these intrinsic quality indicators and available extrinsic indicators (bibliometric, webometric and usage indicators, including new resources from the 'social web'). Although the data used were partly incomplete and fragmentary in some respect testing of uni-variate and linear correlations was not successful and any correlation one could imagine would probably be non-linear and complex. As a consequence, the most plausible conclusion for the time being seems to assume complementarity rather than correlation of intrinsic and extrinsic indicators of research publication quality.
