Citation Analysis of Faculty of Science’s publications using Scopus and Web of Science
Ms Kan Sok Cheng, Head, Medical/Science Library, NUS Libraries
Synopsis
Citations are the most widely accepted measure of research strength of an institution, and the impact and quality of a researcher’s work in a scholarly field. Citation analysis involves counting how many times a paper or researcher is cited. Using citation data from Scopus (Elsevier) and the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), the speaker will present a citation analysis showing the growth and achievement of Faculty of Science in terms of its publication and citation trends from the two major databases.

Synopsis
Some research have shown that the journals in which papers are published have an influence on their citation rates. Journal Citation Reports® offers a systematic means of evaluating leading journals using quantifiable, statistical information based on citation data. By compiling articles' cited references, JCR measures research influence and impact at the journal and category levels, and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals.
