Abstract:
We in this paper advocated the concept Research Metrics with some descriptions
relating to the units which are used to measure. We briefly described the
developments in the metrics field and listed the research units. While discussing
the metrics, it is important to address various ethical measures such as plagiarism,
retractions, self-citations, predatory journals which have impact in metrics
applications. Thus, research evaluation needs a perfect auditing system which we
advocated in this paper. Any research in evaluation should consider these issues
and they are expected to impact in the future assessment practices.
