Fwd: New citation database launches
by Shamprasad Pujar 04 Feb '18

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai =========================================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: John Liebhardt <john.liebhardt(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 11:18 PM Subject: [authoraiddiscussion] New citation database launches To: AuthorAID Discussion <authoraiddiscussion(a)dgroups.org> Dear all, A new citation database called Dimensions launched a few weeks ago, which could be an alternative to Web of Science or Scopus. For those of us who don’t have access to those products, Dimensions runs on a freemium model, allowing anyone to utilize basic functions while its owners hope that organizations and universities pay for higher level functionality and support. Users in the free version should find the functionality much like other citation databases, being able to search by subject keywords, journal title, author name and, say, university name. (I've run a few searches and it feels similar to Scopus.) The free version of this tool could be very helpful to researchers: helping find the names of journals publishing in specific disciplines (and the quality of those journals), providing papers/citations in those disciplines and maybe even potential collaborators. Those paying for the premium version would also be able to get information on grants, clinical trials and patents — and presumably more metric tools. Here is link for the Dimensions site: https://www.dimensions.ai/ Here is the link to the discovery tool: https://app.dimensions.ai/discover/publication Dimensions has a lot more tools than I’ve briefly mentioned. Here are a few stories that explain them.
