Abstract

A survey of informetric methods and technologies is presented. Problems and directions of informetrics are defined. The interrelations between the concepts such as scientometrics, bibliometrics, informetrics, webometrics, and altmetrics are shown. The existing informetric models and methods and also topical problems of informetrics are analyzed. Available analytic-and-search scientometric databases and systems are considered and their drawbacks and advantages are revealed. Characteristics of scientometric systems, their components, and factors that affect scientometric indices are determined. Based on the conducted research, promising directions for developing scientometric systems are formulated.
