11. Citation Analysis [DRAFT]

Note

From Wikipedia: 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. Citation indexes are increasingly used for bibliometrics and other studies involving research evaluation. Citation data is also the basis of the popular journal impact factor.

11.1. References ( Citations to other documents)

Scopus provides the list of references that have been cited by a specific document.

In TIM, this field corresponds to emm_sgrrefs. The user will find the list of documents that have been cited identified with their scopus group id (SGR = Scopus Group Id).

11.2. Citation count

Note

From Wikipedia: Citation impact quantifies the citation usage of scholarly works. It is a result of citation analysis or bibliometrics. Among the measures that have emerged from citation analysis are the citation counts for an individual article, an author, and an academic journal. One of the most basic citation metrics is how often an article was cited in other articles, books, or other sources (such as theses).

Scopus provides the number of documents that have cited one specific document. This metric is translated in TIM in the emm_citedby field.

Note

From wikipedia: Citation rates are heavily dependent on the discipline and the number of people working in that area.For instance, many more scientists work in neuroscience than in mathematics, and neuroscientists publish more papers than mathematicians, hence neuroscience papers are much more often cited than papers in mathematics. Similarly, review papers are more often cited than regular research papers because they summarize results from many papers. [copied form wikipedia]
