English abstract

Metric terminologies hold immense potential for enhancing the rigor, precision, and replicability of library and information science (LIS) research. This article explores the untapped potential of metric terminologies in the realm of LIS research. By delving into the significance of metrics, the study elucidates their role in enhancing the effectiveness and precision of scholarly communication. Investigating the diverse applications of metrics, from bibliometrics to altmetrics, the article underscores their utility in gauging research impact and shaping information dissemination strategies. Through a comprehensive examination, it unveils the myriad opportunities for leveraging metric terminologies to propel advancements in LIS research, offering a nuanced perspective on the transformative power of metrics in the academic landscape.
