Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to summarize and provide context to the recently published
Leiden Manifesto, a document written by leading bibliometric researchers, which proposes ten principles that
should guide the use of bibliometric tools and indicators in research evaluation.
Design/methodology/approach – This paper is an opinion piece based on the Leiden Manifesto.
Findings – This paper addresses the phenomenon of increasing provision of bibliometric services by
research university libraries and argues that their mission should be to advocate the responsible use of
bibliometric methods for research evaluation in their institutions, in line with Leiden Manifesto principles.
Originality/value – This is an original piece.
