Their 2018 book 'Measuring research, what everyone needs to know' is a particularly good read, and an easy starting point for some of the common critiques/challenges. It's short, cheap, and aimed at practitioners. For recent research in Scientometrics and related areas, I like JASIST Scientometrics https://link.springer.com/journal/11192 Journal of Informetrics http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-informetrics/ And, emerging: Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics http://journal.frontiersin.org/journal/research-metrics-and-analytics Frontiers in... Mapping Science: Resources, Tools, and Benchmarks http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/5561/mapping-science-resources-tools-and-benchmarks#overview In terms of research community, International Society on Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI) (http://www.issi-society.org/news.html , odd-numbered years),ASIST SIGMET and their workshops (e.g. ( https://www.asist.org/SIG/SIGMET/2018/06/12/sigmet-workshop-2018-cfp/ ) and conferences like COLLNET/International Conference on Webometrics, Informetrics and Scientometrics (http://www.collnet.de http://socio.org.uk/collnet2018/ ), Nordic Workshop on Bibliometrics and Research Policy (https://blogs.helsinki.fi/nwb-2017/ ), may be helpful. (among others; this year's JCDL had a crop of metrics-related papers for instance) -Jodi (with apologies for old links & formatting... on a small touchscreen...)
