Review of 'Meaningful Metrics' on 'Goodreads'

Really useful book, I'll try to reread it when I have more time to actually do the proposed activities.

To their credit, the authors do warn readers about this possibility and present tools and strategies to help you keep up to date with the field. For any librarian interested in learning about research metrics, this is a great starting point.

Uma joia este livro. Como todo livro de contos, tem sempre aquele que te prende mais, mas todas as histórias me cativaram de alguma forma. Certeza que voltarei a elas outras vezes.
