Seminar on Comparative Analysis of Citation Databases- Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar
by Mailing List Admin 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2007 17:54:31 +0530 From: ayesha khatoon <ayesha.drtc(a)gmail.com> Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile Mysore Road, R.V. College Post Bangalore-560059 Seminar Comparative Analysis of Citation Databases: Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar The volume of scientific literature grew exponentially as a result of increased R& D activities after World War II. This posed different problems for users and indexers of information. The shortcomings of traditional subject indexes resulted in duplication of scientific activity. Sometimes, the terms used in subject index were ambiguous. These problems necessitated a unified index to scientific literature that was current, free from semantic difficulties and not dependent on the knowledge of subject indexers. Citation index emerged not only as retrieval tool but also used as an evaluation tool for evaluating scientists and to provide a way to search for and analyze the literature in a way not possible through simple keyword/topical searching. It also enables users to gather data on the "impact" of individual authors and journals, as well as assessing particular areas of research activity and publication. ISI (Thomson Scientific) citation databases have been used for decades as the only tools for locating citations. ISI databases (currently known as Web of Science), however, may no longer be sufficient because it covers only journal articles. There are other citation databases, which covers non-journal documents also. This seminar will present a pilot study of the new citation databases like, Google Scholar & Scopus. Its features, strength and limitations etc. Speaker: Ayesha Khatoon 2nd Year ADIS All are cordially invited Venue: DRTC Classroom Date: 12th December, 2007 Time: 2 p.m.
