Abstract
In this article, we describe the Registry of Scientometric Data Sources (RSDS) and several scientometric data sources recorded in this open registry that could be of interest for scientometricians, institutional researchers, librarians, practitioners, policy makers, students and other stakeholders with an interest in scientometrics.
This registry was created after carrying out a literature review and a technical evaluation of several data sources. Each data source is recorded with descriptive metadata fields and URLs to further information. This article describes the motivation behind the development of the registry, explains the features that are available on its public website, and closes with a call for participation.
