The School on Scientometrics 2027 is the first ISSI School on Scientometrics, designed as a pilot model for future editions. Organised by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, it will be held from 8 to 12 March 2027 at Amrita Faridabad, offering theoretical and hands-on training in scientometric methods and tools. Participants will learn not only how to produce and analyse indicators, but also how to use them in research assessment and policymaking. An S&T indicators roundtable will bring together policymakers, research funders, and evaluation practitioners to discuss how indicators are used in practice, the principles of responsible metrics, and their role in shaping science and technology policy.

The registrations to the school are now open and the relevant details are available at: https://www.amrita.edu/events/scientometrics-2027/

This five-day, hands-on school is open to participants worldwide, with a particular focus on the Global South. It covers:
🔹 Reproducible retrieval and analysis of bibliographic data
🔹 STI evidence for policy
🔹 Responsible metrics (DORA and the Leiden Manifesto)
🔹 Network analysis and domain mapping

Every participant will complete a mentored capstone project. Access to Web of Science/Scopus is provided during the school.

The school is open for all, including science managers, policy analysts, librarians, data scientists, PhD scholars, postdocs and early-career researchers. Concessional fees apply for low- and middle-income countries.
