Research assessment has traditionally relied on quantitative citation-based indicators. However, these bibliometric approaches have revealed significant limitations and biases. This lecture will introduce the foundations of bibliometrics and explore current reforms in research assessment. We will examine the principles of responsible research evaluation, emerging alternatives to citation metrics, and the links between open science practices and evolving assessment frameworks.
