According to ESSS, source document types for bibliometric analysis must only consider citable items, which are "research articles, short communications and notes, letters, reviews, and proceedings papers". But I would like to know what makes meeting abstracts different citable items from proceedings papers in terms of bibliometric analysis, which is why they are not considered as original research output.

Dear Alwynne. Thank you very much for your response!
Then, If I get it straight, a research work presented at a scientific meeting would count as a citable ítem if the publication requirements are met to achieve scientific quality (refereed publication, original data, structured format and scientific method, Publisher reputation, among others). Is this adequate?
Best regards!
Hi,
You may observe by searching SCIE what type of material is cited most. Usually the research journals' articles, conference articles and reviews are the most cited. Book reviews and meeting abstracts are cited less. When choosing a sample for the analysis, if you choose the most cited type of material, you can arrive at reliable results.
Hi,
it seems that the answer can be found in the question, One paper is an abstract, and the other is a paper. the difference is in the size, and in the way the contents are presented, the format.
