Researchers searching for scientific literature are often faced with overwhelming amount of search results to identify the most relevant publications. Literature providers and knowledge infrastructures often support users in these decisions by providing informative metadata like citation counts, altmetrics, or usage metrics alongside the search results. Steffen Lemke, Researcher at ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, will present multiple studies’ findings on how researchers perceive and use various types of impact metrics when deciding which literature to read. The librarians will be provided a summary over the state of metrics usage on a micro-level and common (mis-)conceptions about metrics.
