A computer program, coded in QuickBASIC language, is used to make a non-redundant list of references, in alphabetical order, that are found in a scientific manuscript (formatted as a DOS text file). The program can extract either direct or indirect citations as in the following: Byers (1983a, b, 1984) and Miller and Keen, 1960; Byers et al., 1984; Byers 1984) An IBM-compatible personal computer...

This paper describes the measurement techniques of emissions from UWB devices discussed in ITU-R task group (TG) 1/8 to study the compatibility between ultra-wideband (UWB) devices and radiocommunication services. This paper also provides the background idea behind the measurement methods, as the final output of the discussion, i.e. ITU-R Recommendation, will not contain any citations to the re...

In Table 6, the figure names in the column " Cases and Figures " should not be hyperlinks. The figure names in this column are citations to figures within the references listed in the adjacent " Reference " column. Please see the corrected Table 6 below.

This paper examines the proximity of authors to those they cite using degrees of separation in a co-author network, essentially using collaboration networks to expand on the notion of self-citations. While the proportion of direct self-citations (including co-authors of both citing and cited papers) is relatively constant in time and across specialties in the natural sciences (10% of references...

Introduction This chapter presents a critical review of the theories that have formed and/or continue to form the basic assumptions underlying citation analysis. Unless stated otherwise, the term citation is used synonymously with the term bibliographic reference. Citation analysis is consequently taken to represent the analysis of bibliographic references, which form part of the apparatus of s...

Self-citation of a journal may affect its impact factor. We investigated self-citations in the 1995 and 1996 issues of six anaesthesia journals by calculating the self-citing and self-cited rates for each journal. Self-citing rate relates a journal's self-citations to its total number of references. We defined self-cited rate as the ratio of a journal's self-citations to the number of times it ...

objective: citation analysis is a bibliometric method used for the calculation of the mean number of citations and detection of highly cited references, frequency distribution of citations in different languages, update rate, efficacy of resources and number of core journals of a scientific domain. this process elucidates the information needs of researchers in a specific realm of science and e...

This study presents an analysis of the use of bibliographic references by individual scientists in three different research areas. The number and type of references that scientists include in their papers are analyzed, the relationship between the number of references and different impact-based indicators is studied from a multivariable perspective, and the referencing patterns of scientists ar...

The misuse of journal impact factor in hiring and promotion decisions is a growing concern. This article is one in a series of invited commentaries in which authors discuss this problem and consider alternative measures of an individual's impact. The number of citations is the most commonly used metric for quantifying the importance of scientific publications. However , we all have anecdotal ex...
