Scientific output varies between research fields and between disciplines within a field such as astrophysics. Even in fields where publication is the primary output, there is considerable variation in publication and hence in citation rates. Data from the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System is used to illustrate this problem and argue against a "one size fits all" approach to performance metrics, especially over the short time-span covered by the Research Assessment Exercise (soon underway in the UK).
