Track Citations & H-index Citation Tracker Tool : An Overview of Citations Find,Check,& Track The Scopus Citation Tracker is the simple way to find, check and track citation data. Available to anyone with a Scopus subscription, it lets you track data year by year for a specific author or topic. With the Scopus Citation Tracker you can evaluate: The most highly cited author in a field and check that author's relevance The real-time citation data of articles and authors of interest What topics are hot in familiar or unfamiliar subject areas What subjects are being cited by other subjects How to use Citation Tracker Perform an author search. Select the author(s) of your choice by clicking in the check boxes next to the authors' names, and click on 'Citation Tracker'.

You can also change the sorting order and select the date ranges. Additionally, you can exclude self-citations from the citation overview counts and/or export and print the Citation Overview. Track Citations & H-index 11 h-index :An Index to Quantify an individuals Scientific Research Output Proposed in 2005 by physicist Jorge Hirsch* Applies to individual scientist, not a journal Rates scientist based on lifetime publications and citations Official definition: A scientist has index h if h of their N papers have at least h citations each, and the other (N h) papers have no more than h citations each. Translation: the highest number of a scientists papers, h, that have at least h citations *J.E. Hirsch, An index to quantify an individuals scientific research output, PNAS 2005, 102: Can be retrieved fromBackground Scopus Affiliation Profile : Insight into the Institutes Research Portfolio Exploring the Individual Parameters - Know your Author !! Author Evaluator - To Facilitate collaboration + Recruitment Year Of Publication Annual Citation Received The use of a single index crashes the multidimensional space of bibliometrics into one single dimension.
