Goals
|
The aim of this course is to prepare students for the practice of expertise in designing, applying and evaluating scientific products. In addition, this course aims to develop students` practical applications of using simple statistical methods for classifying, calculating, explaining and comparing information. In addition, students learn theoretical knowledge about metric laws in this course.

Content
|
This course is an introduction to the methodology and methods of informatics research. Informometry is the field of study consisting of quantitative methods that we use to analyze the decisions of authors and readers of documents such as books, journal articles and web pages. Informetric analysis is a very useful method if, for example, we are going to reward a certain group of authors or recommend certain documents, or if we want to understand the structure of the networks that occur within the documents. Universities use informatics techniques to evaluate support or termination of some initiatives. Similarly, libraries use bibliographic techniques for collection management and information retrieval activities, and scholars use informatics techniques to map the intellectual structures of their field of study.
