Correlation between WOS and Scopus is even more important. The worse is Scopus Vs Google (But still enormously significant).Your name Nicolas Le Noverehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084762209483799318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-35214310900088373262011-12-15T11:34:35.926+01:002011-12-15T11:34:35.926+01:00The axes are the number of citations found for Web...The axes are the number of citations found for Web of Science (x) and Google Scholar (y).<br /><br />Besides the strong correlation (as compared to what I am used to see), there is a non-linear behavior too. I am not sure about the significance, but it may be explained by Google Scholar finding citations much faster than Web of Science, where it can takes months. Therefore, over the time of months, the citation counts would become more consistent.Egon Willighagenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470952136305035540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-77036887284375599732011-12-15T11:31:24.714+01:002011-12-15T11:31:24.714+01:00Egon,

I think one bad issue with Google Scholar...Hi Egon,<br />I think one bad issue with Google Scholar is that self-citations are not excluded.<br /><br />WOS allows the exclusion of self-citations "View without self-citations" however fails in generating the statistics and h-index without self-citations.<br /><br />But i think its important to see those researchers that *extremely* pump-up their citations. <br /><br />And I think Scopus has a even nicer function to exclude citations from all former co-authors, basically showing really independent citations.<br /><br />One thing were WOS failed was the inclusion of the ResearcherID, which is a really nice tool. Once you are in WOS the author finder does not really work (try a generic name). <br /><br />WOS also has more conventional data such as conference abstracts (ACS) and Google has greater coverage of web-based publications, but not many (ACS) conferences.<br /><br />Anyway the real transformation for *all* sciences is coming from Google Scholar and Google Books and Google itself. For that alone Google should be awarded a combined Nobel prize of all sciences.<br /><br />Cheers<br />TobiasTobias Kindhttp://fiehnlab.ucdavis.edunoreply@blogger.com
