Science-Metrix was contracted by CGIAR Advisory Services to develop recommendations on the use of bibliometrics in mixed-methods evaluation and monitoring of Quality of Science in One CGIAR research. One CGIAR integrates CGIAR’s capabilities, knowledge, assets, people, and global presence for a new era of interconnected and partnership-driven research aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.  

To support the improvement and implementation of CGIAR’s bibliometric analyses, Science-Metrix conducted a study and developed recommendations to:  

This technical note combines bibliometric expertise with input from CGIAR stakeholders and lessons from the independent evaluative reviews of CGIAR research. 

Ultimately, 17 recommendations were developed following a consultative and co-design process. These recommendations provide a high-level framework for designing and conducting or provisioning bibliometric analyses to evaluate Quality of Science in One CGIAR research.
