Dear ,

Biblometrics is a technique or a tool of information management,which is also called Quantitiive science, Researches in biblimetrices has also given birth to a couple of other terms viz, Scientometrics & Informetrics ,Which are used today in place of biblometrics.

Tague-Sutcliffe (1992) defined Informetrics as "the study of the quantitative aspects of information in any form ... and in any social group," and Brookes (1990) characterized it as "a generic term that embraces both biblio- and scientometrics." Along the lines of Tague-Sutcliffe, informetrics investigates: Characteristics and measurements of persons, groups, institutions, countries; publications and information sources; disciplines and fields; and information retrieval processes.
