*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
We are looking for participants with experience in bibliometric analyses to take part in an online Delphi survey to develop a reporting guideline for bibliometric analysis, the Guidance List for the repOrting of Bibliometric AnaLyses (GLOBAL).
Round 1 of the Delphi study involves the completion of an online survey to rate recommended items for inclusion in the GLOBAL guideline. The Delphi method is used as a systematic way of organizing expert communication around a complex issue.
Round 1 of the Delphi survey will take approximately 15 minutes. A subset of Round 1 participants will be asked to come together for an in-person consensus meeting taking place 21 September 2024 in Berlin, follwing the STI conference. Participation is voluntary and by participating in Round 1, you are not obligated to participate in the in-person consensus meeting.
If would like to participate in Round 1 of the study, please click on the link below to view the consent form and access the survey:

By completing the survey, you are providing your consent to participate in the study. Please feel free to forward this invitation in your networks.
Background information: need for a bibliometric reporting guideline
Despite the growth of bibliometric analyses in peer-reviewed literature, there exist few articles providing guidance on the reporting of bibliometric analyses, all of which are primarily opinion-based. Evidence-informed guidelines for the reporting of bibliometric analyses have not yet been developed, hence the purpose of the present study. Adoption of a reporting framework for bibliometric analyses will promote transparency in author reporting of studies and assist readers, peer reviewers, and editors in critically assessing the quality of bibliometrics methods used.
Should you have any questions or concerns about our invitation, please do not hesitate to reach out to our principal investigator Jeremy Y. Ng at je...@ohri.ca or Stefanie Haustein at stefanie...@uottawa.ca.
Kind regards,
Stefanie Haustein on behalf of the GLOBAL Team
