The esss 2024 in Vienna was a great success! We would like to thank all participants and speakers. The next esss will take place September 8 to 12 2025 in Granada/Spain!
The esss provides training and state-of the art insight into scientometrics with the corresponding methods, procedures, indicators as well as the available database products for scientometric analyses. The program combines theoretical knowledge and its practical application in various contexts ranging from research to the provision of scientific policy advice to research evaluation.
We train researchers, especially PhD candidates and early-career researchers, research managers, librarians and information scientists with a professional interest in science and technology indicators and their application.
The establishment of esss is very timely. The increasing use of bibliometrics for funding and evaluative purposes, and in international university rankings, makes it essential for more people to develop a detailed understanding of the disciplines strengths and weaknesses. The contributing partners in this new initiative are to be congratulated for putting together an outstanding program.
