  18. Proposal Founding of a European based Initiative on Scientific Information (in cooperation with ISI?) 1st Step: ESF-Program 2nd Step: EU-Network

  19. CONCLUSION Bibliometric methods contribute essentially to science evaluation Bibliometric methods can help to decide on large facility issues Bibliometric methods will become more important in future Experts can do bibliometric analysis only A European initiative could help
