Metric reports for research impact analyze the reach, influence, and significance of scholarly work using quantitative indicators. These reports include citation counts, h-index, journal impact factors, altmetrics (such as social media mentions and downloads), and other bibliometric measures. They help researchers, institutions, and funders assess productivity, track trends, and demonstrate the value of research in academic and real-world contexts.
