Web of Science® : STANDARD for Research Evaluation
• “Multidisciplinary” coverage– enable to analyze the whole context of
scientific research
• “Multiyear” coverage– enable to analyze the history and
development of sciences
• “Cover to Cover” policy– enable to follow the flow of a topic
regardless of communication type
• “ALL Authors, ALL Addresses”– enable to analyze by author name, by
institution
• “ALL Cited References”– enable to perform analyses on
literature that is not indexed
The CONSISTENCY enables large-scale counting and reliable analyses

COMPARE LIKE WITH LIKEWHAT IS THE VALUE OF A CITATION?• Why do people cite?
– Pay homage / give credit to pioneer
– Identifying a methodology
– Provide background reading
– Quotations
– Authenticating data, reproducing work etc
– Corrections
– Criticizing/Disclaiming someone's work/opinions
• Citations are an indicator of an article’s impact and usefulness to the research community; they are the mode by which peers acknowledge each other’s research.
• The value of a citation is only as important as its source. – Clearly a citation from a prestigious peer review journal has more value than a
citation from non-scholarly material.
– How can you be sure that the citing source is reputable?
“When to Cite”, E. Garfield, Library Quarterly, v66, p449-458, 1996
