ProQuest Dissertations and Theses now is also available from IOPscience extra

As QUT Library is a subscriber to IOPscience extra access is now available to the ProQuest

Dissertations and Theses database also from within IOPscience

The ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database indexes over 25 million doctoral (PhD)

dissertations and masterrsquos theses from students all over the world of which more than two

million are available in fulltext PDF format

The database offers fulltext for most of the dissertations added since 1997 and strong

retrospective fulltext coverage for older graduate works

Try any search term and see the new ProQuest tab at the top of your results

Access IOPscience via httpwwwlibraryquteduaudb5419f

is calculated by dividing the

number of citations in the

JCR year (eg 2008) to items

published in the 2 previous

years (eg 2006 and 2007) by

the total number of articles

published in the two previous

years (eg 2006 and 2007)

Be might consider to identify

not only the Impact Factor

value but also the ranking of

the journal in its subject cate-

gory to determine the journals

relative importance within a

field

There are two other indicators

that are rapidly becoming

known to rank journals called

the SCImago Journal Rank

(SJR) Indicator and eigen-

factor

Journal Citation Reports

(JCR) 2009 edition on the Web

- Science and Social Science

Edition has just been released

Briefly (ISI) Journal Citation

Reports (JCR) allows you to

evaluate and compare journals

using citation data drawn from

over 10000 scholarly and tech-

nical journals from more than

3300 publishers in over 60

countries

By using this database one can

generate lists of top journals by

impact factor for a given sub-

ject categoryies for any of the

years 2003-2009 inclusive

You can search JCR by Subject

Category specific journal or

you can view all journals

Remember the Impact Factor

For a detailed description see

wwwscimagojrcom wwweigenfactororg

NOTE SCImago uses the

Scopus dataset as compared

to JCR or eigenfactor which

are based on the Web of Sci-

ence dataset from Thomson

Reuters

Access via

wwwlibraryquteduaudb4968f

about using JCR andor SCI-
