Abstract
Reflecting on his own personal history with bibliometrics, the author places it in the broader context of research with available information and data-mining. In so doing, he considers the utility of bibliometrics for raising new questions and its limitations for guiding decision-making.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
