The document discusses various citation databases and metrics for evaluating publications and journals. It describes Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar as the major citation databases. It provides details on the coverage, citation data included, and analytical tools available for each database. The document also explains journal citation reports, which allow comparison of journals using citation data. Key metrics for journals are defined, including impact factor, eigenfactor, and article influence score. Quartile comparisons that enable evaluation of journal rankings are also outlined.
![Citation Analysis
• Citation analysis is the study of the impact and assumed quality of
an article, an author, or an institution based on the number of
times works and/or authors have been cited by others
• Citation analysis is the examination of the frequency, patterns, and
graphs of citations in documents. It uses the pattern of citations,
links from one document to another document, to reveal
properties of the documents. A typical aim would be to identify
the most important documents in a collection. A classic example is
that of the citations between academic articles and books.[1][2]
The judgements produced by judges of law to support their
decisions refer back to judgements made in earlier cases so citation
analysis in a legal context is important. Another example is
provided by patents which contain prior art, citation earlier patents
relevant to the current claim.

- 3. Citation Databases • Citation databases are databases that have been developed for evaluating publications. The citation databases enable you to count citations and check, for example, which articles or journals are the most cited ones • In a citation database you get information about who has cited an article and how many times an author has been cited. You can also list all articles citing the same source. • Most important citation database are • “Web of Science”, • “Scopus” • “Google Scholar” Mohammadi.M
- 4. Web of Sciences • Web of Science is owned and produced by Thomson Reuters. WoS is composed of three databases containing citations from international scientific journals: • Arts & Humanities Citation Index - AHCI • Social Sciences Citation Index - SSCI • Science Citation Index - SCI • Journal Coverage: • Aims to include the best journals of all fields. Included journals are for example: European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Finance, Strategic Management Journal • Citation Coverage: • Includes citations starting from the year 1945 • Citations can be counted in a simple or complex manner, with different results • The Citation Report is easy to generate, but only counts references to articles that are also in the database. • Searching based on authors by using Cited Reference Search is more cumbersome, but will also return references to items outside of the database, including articles, conference proceedings, books, reports etc. Mohammadi.M

- 7. Journal Citation Reports® • The Journal Citation Reports module within InCites allows you to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from approximately 12,000 scholarly and technical journals and conference proceedings from more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries. Journal Citation Reports is the only source of citation data on journals, and includes virtually all specialties in the areas of science, technology, and social sciences. • JCR provides dynamic, interactive features supported by visualizations of JCR indicators that allow researchers and librarians, as well as publishers, to compare, evaluate and inform their decisions on published research in varying fields. Mohammadi.M
- 8. Key features in the Journal Citation Reports allow you to: • Focus on desired subject categories, enabling you to review journal titles and key performance indicators in the category; • Compare multiple journals based on a chosen indicator; • Evaluate the performance of journals in which you or your organization has published research; • Recognize trending journals in key research categories; • Identify the ideal journal in which to publish your forthcoming research; Mohammadi.M

- 11. Citing Half-Life Indicates how recent or how old the bibliography referred by articles in this journal are (reflects more about the nature of the subject than journal quality) Eigenfactor Score The Eigenfactor Score is some kinds of enhanced 5-year impact factor – by giving higher score for getting cited in more influential journals and eliminates self-citation Article Influence Score The Article Influence Score is derived from the Eigenfactor Score based on matching the share of the journal's influence against the share of the journal's share of articles. The neutral influence score is 1.00 – thus a journal with article influence score greater than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal has above-average influence and vice versa Below is only a simplified explanation of the metrics.

- 12. Quartile Comparison (Q) • Quartile Comparisons enable users to compare various quartile ranks from metrics for chosen journals within a given subject category. Users can see how each journal ranks within a given quartile, compared with other journals of their choosing, so long as each is categorized within the same subject. The ability to select multiple quartile metrics simultaneously allows for a comprehensive view of how each journal ranks within metrics for a given year. Mohammadi.M

For years the journal was not covered or was suppressed, data columns are marked as "Not Available." Also, data columns may indicate "Not Available" if the particular indicator had not yet been included in JCR. JOURNAL CITATION REPORTS JOURNAL BY RANK – key indicators Mohammadi.M

- 29. Scopus • Scopus is owned and produced by Elsevier. • Journal Coverage: • Indexes more journals than Web of Science, including some conference proceedings, which results in better coverage for Economics and IT. Includes journals such as International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, Human Resource Management Journal, Journal of Economics and Business, Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Moey. • Citation Coverage: • Only indexes citations starting from 1996 • Only counts references to publications that are also in the database • Use Citation Tracker to generate analyses on up to 5000 publications • Citations per year and per publication (with or without self- citations), h-index Mohammadi.M
- 30. SCImago • The SCImago Journal & Country Rank is a publicly available portal that includes the journals and country scientific indicators developed from the information contained in the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.). These indicators can be used to assess and analyze scientific domains. Journals can be compared or analysed separately. Country rankings may also be compared or analysed separately. Journals can be grouped by subject area (27 major thematic areas), subject category (313 specific subject categories) or by country. Citation data is drawn from over 21,500 titles from more than 5,000 international publishers and country performance metrics from 239 countries worldwide. The SJCR allows you also to embed significative journal metrics into your web as a clickable image widget Mohammadi.M
- 32. CiteScore • Calculating CiteScore is simple and is based on the average citations received per document. CiteScore is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years. Mohammadi.M
- 33. SJR (SCImago Journal Rank) • SJR is weighted by the prestige of a journal. Subject field, quality, and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a citation. • SJR assigns relative scores to all of the sources in a citation network. Its methodology is inspired by the Google PageRank algorithm, in that not all citations are equal. A source transfers its own 'prestige', or status, to another source through the act of citing it. A citation from a source with a relatively high SJR is worth more than a citation from a source with a lower SJR. Mohammadi.M
- 34. SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) • SNIP measures a source’s contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. It helps you make a direct comparison of sources in different subject fields. • SNIP takes into account characteristics of the source's subject field, which is the set of documents citing that source. SNIP especially considers • the frequency at which authors cite other papers in their reference lists • the speed at which citation impact matures • the extent to which the database used in the assessment covers the field’s literature • SNIP is the ratio of a source's average citation count per paper and the citation potential of its subject field.
