Citation Searching: Web of Science and Google Scholar - Class Materials and Information: Citation Searching: Web of Science and Google Scholar

Citation Searching: Web of Science and Google Scholar

Goal -- To provide an overview and teach practical skills in the use of citation searching databases.

Objectives -- By the end of this class participants will be able to:

• Perform a citation search by author and by article in at least one database;
• Create an alert to notify of new articles citing a particular author or article.

Want to know how often your work is referenced in other papers? Would you like to receive alerts whenever you are cited? Want to know the most frequently-cited papers on a topic of interest? We can show you this, and more at a special “Citation Searching” workshop. Databases covered will include Science Citation Index/Social Science Citation Index and Google Scholar. The differences and strengths of both will be explored in this hands-on workshop.

Here's how it works: Use the button above  to sign up and when three people do the same, we will initiate a Doodle poll to attempt to find a mutually convenient time for you. If it takes longer than a month we will schedule regardless. 

If you have a more immediate need, you can schedule a one-on-one consult with a librarian here: http://library.nymc.edu/services/consultation-form.cfm
