“This
investigation was conducted using a search methodology that yielded 138
evaluation studies from 21 EU countries, covering the period 2005 to 2019.
Structured content analysis revealed the following findings: (1) Bibliometric research assessment
is most frequently performed in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Italy,
and the United Kingdom. (2) The Web of Science (WoS) is the dominant
database used for public research assessment in Europe. (3) Expert
organizations invest in the improvement of WoS citation data, and set technical
standards with regards to data quality. (4) Citation impact is most frequently
assessed with reference to international scientific fields”
PS - In what concerns bibliometrics let´s not forget the content of Fig C.1 below from the paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.03491.pdf that was later published in Nature:
" We conclude that particularly in Physics, Clinical Medicine, and Public Health, metrics agree quite well with peer review and may offer an alternative to peer review"
