The New Alliance. Bringing Together Bibliometric and Library Science for a Responsible Assessment of Research in SSH

We suggest a new alliance between two previously unrelated disciplines, namely Bibliometrics and Library science, with the goal of building a complete representation of the scientific production of humanities, including books and book chapters, as well as journal articles in a multilingualist perspective. We report on recent advancements on technology for interoperability of library resources that will permit an automatic validation of author identity via Authority Control. We discuss how this perspective will contribute to a fair and responsible research assessment for SSH; with particular attention to humanities.
