Locating Who Cited Your Work: Home

►You need to assume that each database contains only a portion of the complete citation record for article and authors

►It is often difficult to separate individual authors with common last names

►The arts and humanities are not represented as well as the sciences and social sciences

►It is difficult to compare analysis results across different fields

Scholarly impact can refer to several aspects of scholarly communication. Most commonly:

• Journal Impact is the amount of times articles from a specific journal are cited combined with the number of articles that the journal publishes - this is known as the impact factor: http://www.sciencegateway.org/impact.
• H-index measures scholarly impact at the author level - the amount of articles a scholar published combined with how many times those published articles are cited creates your h-index.
• Eigenfactor is intended to measure the overall importance of a scientific journal. Similar to the journal impact factor, the Eigenfactor was developed to be a more robust tool, and considers how broad the journal's contribution is.
