Using Citation Analysis to Explore the Information Needs of Graduate Students Affiliated with a Fuel Cell Research Center Michael White Queen’s University American Society for Engineering Education 2013 Annual Conference & Exposition June 26, 2012

Fuel Cell Overview Invented in 19 th century William Grove, 1839 Electrochemical cell Chemical reaction  electical energy 1960s – US/USSR Space Programs “Clean” energy source No pollutants Image source: RTDInfo: Magazine on European Research, August 2004

Queen’s-RMC Fuel Cell Research Centre Established in 2007 Moved to Queen’s Innovation Park in 2008 Eight faculty 4 x Chemical Eng./Chemistry 2 x Mechanical & Materials Eng. 1 x Civil Eng. 1 x Mining Eng. 5 research staff & PDFs 20 graduate students 80 publications; few patent apps.

FCRC Mission Statement “University-based research and development organization in partnership with industry dedicated to advancing the knowledge base for addressing the key technology challenges to the commercialisation of fuel cell applications.” Image source: National Research Council, Fuel Cell Lab, Vancouver, BC

Fuel Cell Patents,

Questions What types of materials do FCRC graduate students cite? What are the top cited journals by the number of citations and citing authors? What are the core journals in the fuel cell literature? What is the mean number of references per thesis? What is the age profile of journal and book citations? Are patents a major source of information cited by students?

Age of Citations: Journal vs. Book Years

Conclusions & Questions Distinct fuel cell literature Elsevier is the dominant publisher ACS, ECS and Wiley also important Differences between sub-disciplines Mining students cite more conferences, tech reports and patents Civil students cite fewer journals How are students searching the literature? Why aren’t students using the patent literature?
