This document discusses citation searching and bibliometrics. It introduces citation analysis and how it is used in bibliometrics to estimate the popularity and impact of articles and authors by analyzing citations. Journal Impact Factor is calculated by counting citations at the journal level. The document also discusses the h-index and alternatives to journal Impact Factor, including Eigenfactor, SCImago Journal Rank, usage statistics, and qualitative evaluation through services like Faculty of 1000. While bibliometrics provide quantitative data about publications, the usefulness and reliability of citation counts and Impact Factor have been questioned, leading to new alternative evaluation methods.

Google Scholar vs. MEDLINE for Health Sciences Literature Searchinghsls
This document summarizes and compares Google Scholar and MEDLINE for health sciences literature searching. MEDLINE indexes over 16 million citations from 5,400 journals back to 1949 and uses controlled vocabularies like MeSH for standardized searching. It is focused on health sciences but lacks full text. Google Scholar searches the full text of scholarly articles, books, and websites but has inconsistent coverage, formatting, and lacks controlled vocabularies. Both tools have strengths and limitations, so they are most effective when used together for comprehensive literature searching.

What are bibliometrics?
Journal metrics
Personal metrics
Article level metrics and altmetrics
The document discusses changing roles for libraries and librarians in serving the biomedical research community. It outlines new roles like informationists, outreach, and increasing the library's virtual presence. It also covers challenges around scholarly communication and increasing the visibility of the library to faculty and students. The opportunities discussed include shaping open access initiatives and digital repositories as well as increasing library spaces and services.
Eugene Garfield first proposed the idea of journal impact factors in 1955 to measure the impact and influence of academic journals. In the 1960s, the Science Citation Index was developed to track citations between papers. Starting in 1975, the Journal Citation Reports used Web of Science data to annually rank journals within disciplines based on their impact factors, calculated as the citations in the current year to articles published in the previous two years divided by the total number of citable items published in those two years. While impact factors provide a metric for comparing journals within a field, they should not be used to compare journals across different disciplines due to variability in citation conventions between fields.

Alternative Avenues of Discovery: Competition or PotentialJason Price, PhD
The document discusses alternative avenues of discovery for libraries, focusing on three emerging examples that correspond to the themes of reaching out, providing intuitive services, and gaining insights from analytics. The first example is Libhub via Zepheira, which uses linked data to extend library catalogs onto the web. The second is 1science Open Access Solutions, which expands discoverable content by making institutional repository publications freely available. The third is Yewno's inference engine, which supports discovery by revealing connections between concepts based on underlying scholarly content.
The document discusses various methods and data sources for performing citation analysis and research evaluation, including using citation data from Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. It also covers benchmarking research groups using metrics like the h-index and Essential Science Indicators, evaluating researchers based on citation metrics and journal impact factors, and limitations of using citation data and journal impact factors for research assessment.
Citation Trends in Library & Information ScienceRohit Jangra
The document presents a bibliometric analysis of articles published in the journal "Library Trends" from 2012 to 2016. It finds that 219 articles were published over this period, with the highest number of contributions coming from US authors. The study analyzes authorship patterns, citation trends, and identifies the most prolific authors and most frequently cited journals. It concludes that bibliometric data can provide useful insights but may not always follow established laws due to various influencing factors.
Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green, and Rogue Open Ac...Jason Price, PhD
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.
This document provides an overview of scholarly metrics and bibliometrics tools. It discusses the purpose of metrics in evaluating scholarship given the large volume of publications.

Presentation from a University of York Library workshop on bibliometrics. The session covers how published research outputs are measured at the article, author and journal level; with discussion of the limitations of a bibliometric approach.
This document provides an overview of traditional scholarly impact metrics like citation count and impact factor, as well as new developments in altmetrics. It begins with an introduction to why citations are counted and the sources of citation data. It then discusses common metrics for measuring the impact of individuals, journals, and institutions. These include the h-index, journal impact factor, and global university rankings. The document also notes some limitations and issues with traditional metrics and outlines new areas of development in altmetrics.
Altmetrics provide alternative measures of impact beyond traditional citations by tracking attention on social media and other platforms. They can provide faster insights than citations, which take time to accumulate, and can measure impact on audiences beyond academics. However, altmetrics also have limitations as coverage varies by discipline and not all attention translates to citations or impact. Social media mentions have been shown to correlate with early citations and downloads, helping measure alternative concepts of impact.

Commercial Serials Decision Support SystemsRobin Paynter
Commercial Serials Decision Support Databases (SDSDs) provide concise summaries of journal usage data to help with budgeting, collection development, and administrative reporting. Key features of SDSDs include analyzing user behavior, justifying budgets, and reducing staff workload. When choosing an SDSD, factors to consider include budget, staffing levels, type of needed analysis, and local collection needs. SDSDs can provide comparative holdings, usage statistics, package deal evaluations, resource sharing analyses, and gap/overlap assessments to support data-driven serials decisions. Current issues include incomplete publisher reports and lack of data integration, but future trends may include expanded analysis types and more customizable reporting tools.
Web traffic and campus trends: a multi-institution analysisRobin Paynter
Ordinarily, it is difficult to generalize operational research conducted at one library to the environment of another. Different survey instruments, user populations, and sampling techniques make direct comparisons difficult. Despite these clear differences, libraries continue to use this literature to plan new services. There is a clear need to establish a baseline for comparison. The use of web server log statistical reports and other web analytics may offer this baseline. Such reports are now available to most libraries, and offer a rich, and consistent, look at library user behavior. This data tells a rich story about library use, and offers a valid point of comparison between institutions. The Orbis-Cascade Alliance Research Interest Group presents these initial results as our first collaborative effort. We argue that differences between institutional environments that have long been assumed are now clearly visible in simple metrics such as most-viewed pages, point-of-entry, and peak hours. These points of comparison are analyzed for three types of Alliance libraries: a public and a private four year residential campus, and an urban commuter university. The analysis offers empirical evidence of the commonalities and differences between these member libraries.

This document discusses the challenging but essential process of formulating an evidence-based practice (EBP) question. It notes that developing a clear research question is crucial as it guides all other aspects of the research process. The document then provides guidance on using the PICOT framework to develop EBP questions, focusing on identifying an issue or problem, generating multiple questions, and selecting the most appropriate one based on significance, feasibility, and interest. It describes analyzing the question to determine relevant PICOT elements - patient population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. Finally, it discusses generating keywords that could be used in a literature search to investigate the question.
Project Course Project Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem.docxanitramcroberts
Project: Course Project: Part 1—Identifying a Researchable Problem
One of the most challenging aspects of EBP is to actually identify the answerable question.
—Karen Sue Davies
Formulating a question that targets the goal of your research is a challenging but essential task. The question plays a crucial role in all other aspects of the research, including the determination of the research design and theoretical perspective to be applied, which data will be collected, and which tools will be used for analysis. It is therefore essential to take the time to ensure that the research question addresses what you actually want to study. Doing so will increase your likelihood of obtaining meaningful results.
In this first component of the Course Project, you formulate questions to address a particular nursing issue or problem. You use the PICOT model—patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome—outlined in the Learning Resources to design your questions.
To prepare:
Review the article,
“Formulating the Evidence Based Practice Question: A Review of the Frameworks,”
found in the Learning Resources for this week. Focus on the PICOT model for guiding the development of research questions.
Review the section beginning on page 75 of the course text, titled, “Developing and Refining Research Problems” in the course text
,( Marquis & Huston) which focuses on analyzing the feasibility of a research problem.
Reflect on an issue or problem that you have noticed in your nursing practice. Consider the significance of this issue or problem.
(Refer to the PICOT question you earlier formulated for me on handwashing)
Generate at
least five questions
that relate to the issue which you have identified. Use the criteria in your course text to select one question that would be most appropriate in terms of significance, feasibility, and interest.
Be prepared to explain your rationale
.
Formulate a preliminary PICO question—one that is answerable—based on your analysis. What are the PICO variables (patient/population, intervention/issue, comparison, and outcome) for this question? (once again refer to the PICO question you earlier formulated for me on:
Does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient management)

This document discusses open access publishing and citation metrics. It argues that open access articles have more readers and citations than articles behind paywalls, citing research showing an open access citation advantage of 25-250%. It provides an overview of citation indexes and metrics like the h-index and g-index. The document recommends that scholars publish in open access journals or repositories when possible to enlarge their audience and impact. Overall it promotes the benefits of open access for both readers and scholars.
The document discusses various metrics used to evaluate journals and authors, including the Impact Factor, h-index, and Eigenfactor. It describes what each metric measures, how it is calculated, and its advantages and limitations. In particular, it notes that the Impact Factor only looks at citations over a two year period, while the Eigenfactor and SJR take a longer, five year view and weight citations differently based on the influence of the citing journal. For authors, the h-index and its variants aim to capture both productivity and citation impact, but have limitations such as field differences and inability to decrease over time.
This document provides guidance on how to effectively search for and use biomedical literature. It outlines key biomedical databases like Medline and Science Direct that contain bibliographic details and full text journal articles. It also discusses developing an effective search strategy by breaking questions into concepts and alternative terms. The document stresses evaluating search results and describes peer review as the quality control process for academic research. Finally, it provides tips on accessing resources, referencing works cited, and getting help from library staff.
