The logistics of cited reference…

1. Create the journal list

Publisher identifies the top journals and include them as Source Journals in the database.

2. Examine the reference list of each article.

General rationale: • Publications on the reference list are useful to

this research • Important publications are cited more often

Compile statistics for Cited Reference Search

For more details, read Hirsch’s article at http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025

h-index = 28 • 28 papers received at least 28 citations. • The other papers received no more

than 28 citations

According to J.E. Hirsch, the h index is the h number of papers with at least h citations.

h-index (Hirsch index)

http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0508025�

Pros and Cons Simple: Times cited: Important publications are cited more often H-index: Citation record summarized in one single number But… Cited not because it is useful Papers published in journals with a regional focus may not

be included as a source journal Does not take into account the age of publications Cross-disciplinary comparison is not valid given the

varying citation patterns/ scholarly productivity Citation errors in the databases, e.g. homonymous author

names, typographical errors
