Scientometrics & Infometrics

[Ankita Mishra]

Hello, I am student of MLIS (IGNOU).
Would anyone help me with subject 'scientometrics & infometrics' notes or anything, useful to exam. I am unable to understand this subject because I was only student of this subject without any teacher provided.

And I have no idea how to prepare for my exam.

Thanks,

Should they be enough for passing the exam??

[Ankita Mishra]

Yeah got it!! Thanks

No. Certainly inadequate. There are many resources available. Those who suggest references should refer only quality ones. Please do not mislead young students.

Any healthy discussion should proceed in a proper direction. In this elite forum all references and referral should point out only standard sources. I strongly suggest the following few references which are highly qualitative and standard.
