Main Landing Page

Basic Search Searching the Guide vs. the Full-Text On the Digital Library main page, type your word or phrase into the text box. The search engine will search on each word individually as well as on the whole phrase. From the basic search box, you may put quotations (" ") around the phrase to search the exact phrase to return a narrower list of results. Search results will automatically default to results retrieved from the full-text ACM collection. From this point users may choose to expand their search to include the bibliographic citation content by selecting “Expand Your Search to The ACM Guide to Computing Literature” link. There are now over 2,515,325 publication records indexed in the database. The full-text Database now includes 433,579 full-text records available for download in the DL. The full-text ACM content is designated by the blue ACM diamond icon appearing next to the publication title In the full-text view there will be some publications that do not include the ACM diamond. This is the hosted full-text publications included from select publishers. Searching a specific term in the Guide will return both the full-text and citation content in the search results.

Advanced Search

Advanced Search On the Advanced Search screen, customize your search by specifying various field operators such as a key word or phrase, author, ISBN/ISSN, Publication Year; or ACM Computing Classification (CCS) term. Use these fields independently or combine them. If a user does not have a specific search in mind, they may conduct a basic “keyword” search from the main DL page and use the “Refine Your Search” options located on the left of the screen: -- Refine by People -- Refine by Publications -- Refine by Conferences -- Refine by Publication Year The Basic and Advanced Search tools do not currently include a feature that would allow users to search “Top Papers”. This is possible with the DL platform’s Analytics Tools utilized in our Author Profile and Institutional Profile Pages.

Free ACM Web Account ACM users may create a free web account to personalize how they use the ACM DL A free ACM Web account allows users to: Save searches Set up table of contents (or TOC) alerts Create virtual binders The TOC alert service sends an email alert when a new issue of an ACM journal, magazine, newsletter or proceedings has been posted in the DL. To sign up, log in on the DL main page, and locate the desired publication. You will find the TOC Service icons under the Tools and Resources box located on the right of the main citation box. The virtual binder allows members to create and name their own personal folders where they can store articles for future reference. Personal binders can be shared with other users. Access to the full-text of articles is controlled independently of the binders.

Author Profile Pages To find an Author Profile Page you may do a specific search for an author or simply select the name of an author for any publication listed from your returned search. Search Example: Moshe Vardi Each Author Profile Page provides an author’s complete publication history, organizational affiliations and citation counts The gray box at the left of the screen indicates everything the author themselves may edit including their pictures, URL to the author’s own homepage, email address, etc. All other information included on the author page is generated dynamically from extracting the data from the actual publications and articles (such as colleague and institution affiliations) The following Bibliometrics data is included on every author’s page detailing the citations for an author’s entire publication history: -- Publication Years -- Publication Count   -- Citation Count -- Available for download   For a complete explanation of all terms and what data is actually captured users may select the “Bibliometrics” link located at the top right of the page.

Institutional Profile Pages The Institutional Profile Page is assembled by gathering all of the publication data from articles that includes at least one author affiliated who is affiliated with that institution at the time of publication. The data captured on the Institutional Profile page is similar to that included on the Author Profile Pages: Publication Years, Publications Count, Citations Count. The following additional bibliometrics are also included: -- Downloads (6 weeks)  -- Downloads (12 months)  -- Downloads (cumulative) -- Average downloads per article  The Institutional Profile Page also shows what cutting-edge topics or subject areas or disciplines on which a specific institution is publishing. The subject terms are listed in various fonts to indicate how frequently an institution is publishing in a particular area. The larger the font, the more publications the institution is outputting in this area. The smaller the font indicates the institution is publishing fewer articles or publication content in this discipline

Author Profile Pages

Institutional Profile Pages (continued) Further down the profile page there is an option to view the “Most Downloaded Articles” over the past 6 weeks for each institution Users may also toggle to the Citation link to view the Most Cited Articles published for an institution The following information tabs are also available for each Institutional Profile Page: -- About tab -- Award winners from the institution indicating all Turin Award winners and ACM Fellows -- Authors from the institution and their total publication counts Note: Users may click on the names of any of these individuals to be taken to their Author Pages -- Collaborative Institutions -- Publication Archive indication all publication titles for which the institution has published a paper -- ACM SIGs or Special Interests Groups with which the institution is affiliated -- Papers published by the institution which may be sorted by: Year, Publication, Publisher, Citation Count and Downloads (for the past 6 weeks and for the past 12 months)

Understanding ACM DL Usage Statistics ACM provides Monthly COUNTER Compliant Usage Statistics through the Scholarly iQ portal at http://acmreports.org. COUNTER Compliant reports apply a general standard that works to reduce the potential “inflationary effects” automated search engines or robots may have on an institution’s usage statistics. The following COUNTER Reports are currently available: COUNTER JR1 Report (Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal) COUNTER JR1 GOA (Number of Successful Gold Open Access Full-Text Article Requests by Month and Journal COUNTER JR4 Report (Total Searches Run by Month and Service) Journal Report 5 (JR5) Number of Successful Full-Text Article Requests by Year-of-Publication and Journal COUNTER BR1 Report Number of Successful Title Requests by Month and Title (Previously included download counts for all Proceedings content only, which is now listed under the JR1 report) Custom Usage Reports are also available. These reports adhere to COUNTER standards with regards to how online usage statistics are calculated. However, these are not official COUNTER report offerings: Top Sheet Summary: Overall Statistics Affiliated Publications: Article Requests by Month and Affiliation Downloads: Download Requests by Month and Type Article Titles: Article Requests by Month and Title IPs: Number of Successful Page Views by Month and IP

Understanding ACM DL Usage Statistics (cont’d) Custom Usage Reports (cont’d): Journals: Article Requests by Month and Journal Magazines: Article Requests by Month and Magazine Newsletters: Article Requests by Month and Newsletter Proceedings: Article Requests by Month and Proceedings Institutions (only available to consortia accounts) - Number of Successful Requests by Month and Institution ACM’s usage reports are available in the following formats for download: HTML; PDF; CSV; XLS What is SUSHI and how does it relate to COUNTER? ACM also provides SUSHI reports (the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) developed by NISO (National Information Standards Organizations) in cooperation with COUNTER allows libraries to automate the retrieval of their COUNTER reports directly into its local system. To activate SUSHI service for your library please email acmdigitallibraryusage@hq.acm.org.
