Abstract: Individual evaluation of researchers is still a subjective process that suffers from numerous potential biases. The Académie has examined the use of quantitative bibliometrics, which are considered to be more objective, and has made a number of recommendations on rigorous rules that should be followed when using bibliometrics to support qualitative evaluations. Such rules should be recognized internationally, at least at the European level. The issue of bibliometric evaluation is a complex one and is still being debated. Strong opinions have arisen for and against its use that depend greatly on the scientific field.
