Bibliometrics has been increasingly applied to research evaluation in recent years. This article reviews studies which supply data to assess the validity and accuracy of citation indicators as a measure of performance. To illustrate the points raised, the article also examines results obtained by case studies on Nordic cancer and cardiovascular research. It concludes that citations measure recognition of a piece of work by the international scientific community, but are also influenced by publication structures, citation conventions and social relations in the scientific community. Citation analysis complements peer review by supplying evidence to assess its accuracy and reliability.
近年来，文献计量学在研究评估中的应用日益广泛。本文回顾了一些研究，这些研究提供数据以评估作为绩效衡量标准的引用指标的有效性和准确性。为了说明所提出的观点，本文还考察了北欧癌症和心血管研究案例研究的结果。研究得出结论，引用衡量的是国际科学界对一项研究成果的认可，但也受到科学界的出版结构、引用惯例和社会关系的影响。引用分析通过提供证据来评估同行评议的准确性和可靠性，从而对同行评议起到补充作用。
