摘要:Metric-related research (for instance, bibliometric, scientometric and informetric) has played a prominent part in ASIS&T meetings and products. Research in this area is presented at the Annual Meeting, has appeared in numerous Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) review chapters and is regularly seen in the pages of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (JASIST) and other ASIS&T publications. Many active ASIS&T members are also highly lauded scholars in this area. In this article, we ask four such individuals to provide narratives of their introduction to the area and their assessment of the landscape for current and future research and to reflect upon the role of ASIS&T in the past, present and future of metrics-related research.
