History and political science: The case for bibliometrics

CHASS was asked by the Department of Education, Science and Training to investigate the appropriateness of the citation analysis process for History and Political Science.
Can some form of metrics be used to inform panel discussions in the RQF (Research Quality Framework) process?
Data was collected from universities round Australia, and then considered by two separate meetings of experts in Melbourne last month.
A report has been provided to DEST, along with a statement on methodology.
