Abstract

The term “Scientometrics” emerges from two significant words –Science and Metrics. It is concerned with metrics used for quantitative analysis of researcher's contribution to various scientific domains. An effective medium to communicate scientific knowledge is via scholarly publications. It provides a platform to propagate research output within and across domains. Thus, there arise need to discover parameters which can measure a researcher's contribution to his field. The most significant metric to measure the impact of a scientific work is citations. The Citation Indexes are utilized as scientometric tool to measure the research output of authors, articles and journals. This book chapter explores the existence of many such scientific parameters at both journal and author level. Further, authors make an earnest attempt to use them to measure the internationality of peer-reviewed journals. They claim that already existing parameters alone are not sufficient for evaluation of internationality and explore new parameters for computing unbiased index both at journal and author level.
