Sabine Hossenfelder discusses Scimeter, a new scientific research tool for research curation and evaluation. The number of publications is growing exponentially and so is the number of scientists. Researchers and higher education administrators need tools that help them to quickly and reliably assess publications and scientists. While there have been many bibliometric measures proposed in the literature, most of them cannot in practice be computed by those who need them. Sabine will explain how Scimeter aims to remedy this problem and how the open-access web-interface, can be useful to researchers by enabling them to do their own bibliometric analysis.

Sabine Hossenfelder is a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies in Germany. Her work focuses on the foundations of physics and includes contributions to quantum gravity, high energy physics, statistical mechanics, astrophysics, general relativity, the philosophy of physics, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. Sabine has also done cross-disciplinary research on bibliometrics and is actively engaged in science communication. Next to maintaining her well-read blog BackReaction and the popular YouTube channel Science without the gobbledygook, she has written contributions for Scientific American, New Scientist, The Guardian, Aeon, Nautilus, The New York Times and many more. In 2018, Sabine published her first popular science book Lost in Math.
