Abstract

We in this paper advocated the concept Research Metrics with some descriptions relating to the units which are used to measure. We briefly described the developments in the metrics field and listed the research units. While discussing the metrics, it is important to address various ethical measures such as plagiarism, retractions, self-citations, predatory journals which have impact in metrics applications. Thus, research evaluation needs a perfect auditing system which we advocated in this paper. Any research in evaluation should consider these issues and they are expected to impact in the future assessment practices.
