This guide provides information and tools for measuring research impact focusing on the use of CITATION METRICS. It also gives some guidance on how to increase your impact as a researcher.
Tabs identify various tools that track citations and provide directions on how to find journal rankings, accredited lists, h-index and citation reports.
Citation tracking looks at the number of times a work has been cited in the bibliographies of other works.
This gives an indication of how a paper has been received by the academic community with a high number of citations usually indicating a highly regarded work.
Citation tracking can also involve looking at the connections between different authors and journals and at patterns in citation and publication over time.
