1. Literature search
Identify your concepts.
Make a list of search terms for each concept.
Specify the logical relationships among your search
terms.

Google search engine

1. Type the exact word in query box

blog for this we can see carefully to domain URL.



File extension is another choice ,common file

.pdf (portable document file or print direct file type)

.pdb (protein data bank file)
.swf (shock wave file for animation)
.mov (movie file for quick time movie)

2. citation Index

Simply define as "who cites whom.
The first citation was Shepards Citations; a legal
reference tool (1873).
Eugene Garfield first outlined the idea of a unified
citation index to the literature of science in 1955 and
established institute of scientific information (ISI) in
Philadelphia.
Now owned by the Thomson Corporation of Toronto and
company acquired the name Web of Science.
Thomson publishes .
Citation Index is a bibliometric a based analysis proved
and efficient measurement tool.











New information produced by a scientist or researcher
may be in form of
new facts
hypotheses
explanations of existing knowledge
as the number of times this new information is cited by
the authors of later publications is the basis of
measurement of citation index and confirms impact of
their work (impact factor)
Science Citation Index Expanded

sciences and humanities, with 10,000 new books added each year.

Deduction of CI

rely on it to support research excellence

Here work of my supervisor Dr. Naveen Kumar Arora is
used for illustration purpose. And following procedure has
been shown.


Other methods of evaluation

ISI's Impact factor
Decide usefulness of a journals
Those who read and cite the paper in their publications.
Year specific
average number of citations to articles in the journal during the
preceding two years from all articles published in that given year
(in the particular collection of journals indexed by Thomson
Scientific).
H- index
Given by Jorge Hirsch . The h-index can be explained as follows.
Suppose a researcher has 15 publications. If 10 of these
publications are cited at least 10 times by other researchers, the
h-index of the scientist is 10, indicating that the other 5
publications may have less than 10 citations. If one of these 10, out
of the 15, publications receives, let us say, 100 citations, the h-
index still remains 10.

The Eigenfactor
TM
score

percentage of time that library users spend with
that journal.
Calculated from a mathematical algorithm.

Online Page Hits


most journals have gone online, with open access.
tracking the number of visitors to the journals
website.
Conclusion

comprehensive approach should be used to evaluate the
research work of a scientist.
90% of papers that have been published in academic
journals are never cited.
50% of papers are never read by anyone other than their
authors.
We should not rely excessively on a single metric such
as peer review
some newer methods which not only contain better
assessment capability but also easy to use for research
group should we welcomed.
