Why bibliostatistics?
Bibliostatistics: Statistically minded bibliometrics
Bibliostatistics is an interdisciplinary field that results from the application of statistics and data science to scholarly publishing, peer review, and research assessment.
Our aim is not simply to "count and report" on various quantities that can be measured, but to gain a deeper understanding of the metrics involved in research assessment: their properties, fundamental limitations, range of validity, proper use, etc. We believe that for this level of understanding, a solid foundation in statistics is essential. Combined with powerful data science tools, it can be very productive too.
