2. Web Of Science
◦ A selective citation index of scientific and scholarly publishing,
the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database includes
journals, conferences, books, and data compilations.
◦ It was first made available for commercial use by the ISI in 1964
as an information retrieval tool called the Science Citation Index
(SCI), rendering it the oldest citation index for the sciences
(Garfield, 1964).
◦ The citation-indexing pioneer Eugene Garfield (1925-2017), who
created ISI in 1960, introduced a variety of advances and
products during this time (Cawkell & Garfield, 2001; Lawlor,
2014; Lazerow, 1974).
◦ As a result, since the commencement of the underlying systems,
the coverage of WoS has significantly increased, reaching over
34,000 publications.
3. Usage
◦ One of Clarivate Analytics' key business units is the
WoS group, which was established by the IP &
Science division of Thomson Reuters.
◦ The WoS group now houses the ISI as a research
division. It closely collaborates with the company's
data and product teams and conducts its own
research, much of which incorporates cutting-edge
concepts from bibliometric partners outside the
organization.
◦ Institutions and affiliated researchers can access
WoS data through platforms, APIs, and the supply of
customised data sets.
◦ long-standing connections with scientometric
research teams at universities all over the world,
allowing us to benefit from their expertise, counsel,
and capacity for innovation as well as receive
extensive independent testing and feedback on our
data management and quality assurance procedures
4. Users
◦ Since the beginning of our business, the
scientometric community's research and
publications have influenced the content and
delivery of our data, and we are extremely pro
◦ Despite the fact that the WoS group and its
predecessor organisations, including ISI, have relied
on in-house expertise, such as the research of
former Chief Scientist Henry Small and our current
research staff (e.g., Adams, 2018; Adams et al., 2007;
Small, 1973), external researchers have been the
source of advice on many improvements in and
extensions of our databases and analytic systems,
for which we are incredibly fortunate and gratefulud
of this.
5. Scopus
◦ Scopus is an abstract and indexing database with full-text links that is produced by Elsevier Co.
The name, Scopus, was inspired by the bird, Hammerkop (Scopus umbretta), which reportedly
has excellent navigation skills.
◦ The database, in development for two years, was developed working with 21 research
institutions and more than 300 researchers and librarians. The verbal and behavioural feedback
of these librarians and researchers was analyzed and used to improve the product
6. Features of
Scopus
◦ Links to both citing and cited documents, allowing
the user to go both forwards and backwards in time.
◦ Open access titles are included in the index
◦ Indexes web pages and patents, with a claim to over
167 million relevant web pages.
◦ OpenURL compliant and works with any link
resolver, using image-based linking.
◦ Runs an entitlement check prior to returning a full-
text image if the article is available to the user.
◦ Can link to the publisher's website to view the
document.
◦ Developers claim that "citation accuracy is achieved
by using state-of-the-art technology, with 99% of
citing references and citing articles matched
exactly."
7. Search of
Scopus
◦ There are two search modes for Scopus – Basic and Advanced
◦ The Basic Search uses fill-in and drop-down boxes to search
various fields. The search can be limited to date, document type,
subject area or recent updates. Once the citations are retrieved,
results can be excluded according to to set criteria. A particular
author can be searched by name. After searching, the user will get
a list of possible matches. One or more names can be selected
from this list. The user can search for variants of a name and for
parts of a name (i.e., a hyphenated name.)
◦ With Advanced Search, the user can use Boolean operators and
nesting using field labels. Scopus is easy to navigate, even for
novice users. If the user is familiar with search devices such as
drop-down boxes and checkboxes, searching will be a simple task
with the intuitive search system. The ability to search both forward
and backward from a particular citation would be very helpful to
the researcher. The multidisciplinary aspect allows the researcher
to easily search outside of his discipline. However, Scopus and
WOS complement each other as neither resource is all-inclusive.
Libraries that can afford to will want to subscribe to both tools.
Those who must choose must do so based on the needs of their
individual library
8. BibTex
◦ When used with the typesetting programme LaTeX, BibTeX is reference management software
for formatting reference lists and in-text citations.
◦ The references are kept in BibTeX's unique format, which is often identified by the file extension
*.bib.
◦ Large papers like a PhD thesis or research article benefit greatly from managing references with
BibTeX.
◦ Consider using a reference manager with BibTeX support for even more convenience when
managing references.
9. BibTeX format
Each BibTeX reference consist of three parts:
◦ Part 1: the entry type
◦ In its current version BibTeX features 14 entry types. A
BibTeX entry start with the @ sign followed by the entry
type name. Everything that belongs to the entry is
enclosed in curly brackets
◦ Part 2: the citekey
◦ The citekey is the name that is used to uniquely identify
the BibTeX entry. It can be any combination of letters
and digits and follows immediately after the opening
bracket of the BibTeX entry.
◦ Part 3: a list of key-value pairs storing the
bibliographic data
◦ Finally, the bibliographic data is stored by a list of
predefined field types and their corresponding values.
10. Uses Of
BibTex
◦ A publication list - This is not really a wide extension of the use of
BibTEX, since it still deals with bibliography. In this example, we use
classical .bib files in order to extract only publications by one single
person, indicating the names of the possible other authors.
◦ An addressbook - A list of addresses is a database, that has to be sorted,
grouped and typeset. BibTEX should be able to do that.To that aim, we
have to completely redefine the fields, entry-types, and functions. Fields
include names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses
◦ Exporting, extracting and cleaning bibliographic entries - It sometimes
occurs that you have to extract a part of your bibliographic database, for
instance for sending it together with a LATEX document.
◦ Using several languages in one bibliography - Classical bibliography
style only handle one language, generally English. Handling several
languages is quite tricky: First, when filling the .bib file, you must ensure
not to write language-dependant data. Namely, for instance, months
should be entered numerically. Moreover, BibTEX adds some words while
processing the entries, such as the “and” before the last author name.
◦ A glossary - A glossary is a dictionary defining technical terms that
appear in a document. Glossaries are generally made using the index
mechanisms of LATEX. But BibTEX can also do that (and even better than
with index, since it could extract definitions from a general dictionary).
11. Latex
◦ LaTeX, ( Lay-Tech) is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. This allows the
users to invest their concentration, energy, and time into the content of the document without
worrying about its appearance.
◦ Typesetting complex mathematical equations and the handling & generation of large
bibliography become effortless with this tool in the bag.
◦ It is a free software under LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) with CTAN being the primary
distribution source of LaTeX, from where it can be downloaded. However, for the functioning of
LaTeX, you need to set up a TeX system first in your PC which you can get from CTAN.
◦ LATEX is a typesetting program, not a word processing program. LATEX is free. LATEX is good to
use when you want to write scientific documents. LATEX is a programming language. You write
your text in an editor and then compile it. After compilation you get a document in PS-, DVI- or
PDF-format
12. Features
◦ Typesetting journal articles, technical reports,
books, and slide presentations.
◦ Control over large documents containing sectioning,
cross-references, tables and figures.
◦ Typesetting of complex mathematical formulas.
◦ Advanced typesetting of mathematics with AMS-
LaTeX.
◦ Automatic generation of bibliographies and indexes.
◦ Multi-lingual typesetting.
◦ Inclusion of artwork, and process or spot colour.
◦ Using PostScript or Metafont fonts.
13. ◦ Latex is not a word processor! Instead, LaTeX encourages authors not to worry too much about
the appearance of their documents but to concentrate on getting the right content. For example,
consider this document:
Cartesian closed categories and the price of eggs
Jane Doe
September 1994
Hello world!
◦ LaTeX is based on the idea that it is better to leave document design to document designers,
and to let authors get on with writing documents. So, in LaTeX you would input this document
as:
documentclass{article}
title{Cartesian closed categories and the price of eggs}
author{Jane Doe}
date{September 1994} begin{document}
maketitle Hello world! end{document}
