Here is information for calibrating local metrics in REEES. Perhaps the most important thing we have highlighted in our document is the fact that there are multiple ways of judging quality and impact aside from citations (peer reviews, course adoptions, appearance in syllabi and MA/Ph.D. reading lists) and that citations in a small field such as our own cannot be compared to citations in a larger field, even one with a similar methodology; they would need to be calibrated somehow to account for the size of the field.
