Citation Hierarchy cited reference citing reference cited reference 18

"Related Records" – Other Articles Using At Least One Cited References in the Hallinger Article 19

Use Related Records to Identify Similar Articles 2,211 articles have at least one common citation with this Hallinger 1996 article The more references the articles share, the more related they are 20

Record A Record A Reference Record B Record B Record D Record D Reference D is a “Related Record” of A, because B is cited by both of them Record C Record C A is a “Cited Reference” of C, i.e. A is cited by C A is a “Citing Reference” of B, i.e. B is cited by A 21

Exercise 1.Search for topics “social and cognitive development” 2.Refine with keywords “language”, “school” 3.Limit to “Article” document How many records found? What is the most highly cited record? How many times this article is cited? 22

Analysis Tools Analyze Results  extract citation data from a selected field (e.g. source title, country), and produces a report showing the values in ranked order Create Citation Report  view aggregate citation statistics for a set of search results  e.g. breakdown of citations over years, average citations per year 23

Analysis Tools Analysis tools 24

You can rank the search results with different field options e.g. Rank the journals by number of articles on this topic 1. Analyze Results 25

Citation statistics of records found 2. Citation Report Most highly cited Article 26

Exercise Search for articles with topic “facebook” Analyze Results  How many articles are found?  What is the source title with the highest no. of publications?  How many percentage of articles are published in 2011? Creation Citation Report  How many times these articles have been cited?  What is the average citations per year received by the top article? 27

Cited Reference Search To discover how the works of an author are being cited How many citations received? Cited by whom? 28

How many times the works of Prof. Joshua Ka-ho Mok have been cited in Web of Science? Who have cited his works? 29

Author Finder 30

Go through the author sets and select the relevant set(s) only Set 2 seems relevant 31

Go through the author sets and select the relevant set(s) only Click "View Records" when Finished 32

Cited Reference Search Important Note: Citation data by Web of Science are only limited to citations recorded in the Web of Science indexed publications Author Finder only finds the citation data for a particular researcher’s publications that are indexed by Web of Science. To include the researcher’s publications not indexed in Web of Science, we need to use the Cited Reference Search 35

1 Enter all variant forms of author name 2 3 Select records to search 4 36

Times cited Most highly cited by 37

Exercise How many times the works of Prof. Cheung Bing-leung Anthony are cited? What is the year his articles are mostly cited? Hints: 1. Use Cited Reference Search 2. Author = Cheung ABL 3. Use Analyze Results 38

Part Two: Mastering SCOPUS 50

What is SCOPUS?  A comprehensive abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature and quality web sources.  Over 19,000 titles from 5,000 publishers worldwide (90% peer- reviewed journals).  46 million records  Broadest coverage  Life Sciences (>4,300 titles)  Physical Sciences (>7,200 titles)  Health Sciences (>6,800 titles)  Social Sciences and Humanities (>5,300 titles)  Sources:  Europe (52%)  North America (32%)  Asia, Australia & Pacific (11%)  South America (3%)  Middle East & Africa (2%)  As a Citation Analysis Tool to evaluate:  Authors, Institutions and Journals. 51

Search Interface 53 Scopus Search Interface

54 Search Basics - use double quotes to search as phrase - search for “Keywords” instead of “Article Title, Abstracts, Keywords” for better precision

55 Search Results Add additional search terms, filter by year, subjects, etc.

56 We can also enter Additional Search Terms, use “Limit to” Options (by year / document type / subject areas) in the Search Form

57 At the Results Screens: you can also change the Sorting Order (Default Order is by Date) Various Output Options like Export, Print, or Create a Bibliography Check EdLINK for Full Text Availability

58 Ordered by Most Cited

Citing References 60

Like SSCI, Related Articles are Offered; In addition, you can choose which shared references to use 61

Related Documents based on All Cited References 62

Or we can Choose Only to Check Related Documents Based on Selected References 63

A Different Set of Related Documents based on Selected References Only 64

Export to RefWorks 65

Citation Analysis of an Author 74 Citation Analysis of an Author: e.g. Michael Bond

Citation Analysis of an Author 75

Citation Analysis of an Author 76 Author Evaluator 112 publications; cited over 3,800 times by over 3,100 documents h-index (23) for articles published since 1996

77 Citation Analysis of an Author

78 Definition of h-index An author has index h if h of his papers have at least h citations each and the other papers have no more than h citations each. e.g. An author with an h-index of 20 means that each of 20 of his or her publications have been cited for 20 or more times. For example The h-index for Bond, Michael Harris (Considers Scopus articles published after 1996) = 21 (21 out of 82 documents have each been cited at least 21 times)

Properties of the h-index  Developed in 2005 by Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist (University of California in San Diego) and peace activist.  Easy to determine.  Age of Author not taken into account.  Both junior and senior authors can have a high or low h- index.  Ignores the highly & poorly cited papers – ‘one-hit wonders’.  Dynamic, not a static number – can change as citations increase, real-time in Scopus.  Can be used to measure : Authors, Journals, Institutions, Departments, Faculties, Selection of Papers … etc.  Details of h-index at:  

80 The h-index can be calculated manually by viewing all the author’s documents in the Citation Tracker. Click on Sort documents and select Citations in descending. Then scroll down to where the rank of articles and the number of cited- by’s meet: that’s the h-index for that author including documents published from 1996 onwards.

Journal Analyzer 86

Journal Analyzer 87 Double click to select a journal title. A graph will appear on the other side showing citations, documents, etc. of the title. Up to 10 journal titles could be selected for comparison at a time. SCImago Journal Rank (SJR indicator) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from. SJR chart weighted citations per document SNIP = Source normalized impact per paper: corrects for differences in the frequency of citation across research fields Citations chart shows the total number of citations received by a journal in the year, considering all documents. Documents chart shows the total number of documents published in the journal in the year.
