The work of Cassidy Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière comes to mind, as well as some of the work done at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) in the Netherlands.

Some examples:

    I'm looking for work or discussions on systematic bias in
    bibliometrics or appropriate fora where such discussions are likely to
    happen. Even critical analysis of the founding assumptions of
    bibliometrics as a field would be a good place to start
    
    I have some ideas but they seem obvious and I'm afraid I'm missing a
    community of practice because what I think of as a widget they know as
    a whatzit.
