1.  Resources to obtain Citation metrics  (top)


Web of Knowledge (subscribed by NTU Library) ISI
Web of Knowledge is an integrated web-based platform covering content
from over 22,000 journals, 23 million patents, 13,000 conference
proceedings, 5,500 websites and 5,000 books. You will be able to search
the various Web of Science Citation Indexes via the Web of Knowledge platform.


SciVerse Scopus (subscribed by NTU Library)
Scopus
is a multi-disciplinary database that brings you the broadest available
coverage of scientific, technical, medical and social sciences
literature from over 4,000 international publishers. Users can set up
search & citation alerts for their research purpose by creating a
personal profile and login.


Journal Citation Reports via Web of Knowledge (subscribed by NTU Library)
Journal
Citation Reports is a resource that helps to evaluate and compare
journals. Citation and article counts are indicators of how frequently
current researchers are using individual journals. The data for Journal
Citation Reports are drawn from scholarly and technical journals from
more than 3,300 publishers in over 60 countries. Data includes most
areas of science, technology, and social sciences.


SCImago Journal Rankings
SCImago
is a freely available web resource and uses Scopus data to provide
metrics and statistical data for journals.  The main metrics have now
also been included within the subscription Scopus product if you have
access to it.
As well as a Journal Rank Indicator (SJR), SCImago
provides a number of other metrics and statistics for journals and it
allows you to search for journals individually or comparatively by
discipline and sub-discipline.


Google Scholar
Google
Scholar (GS) is a specialized Google search engine designed to retrieve
scholarly data on the web. GS searches publisher websites, pre-print
repositories, university websites, books, technical reports, etc. for
scholarly information. GS provides citation numbers for individual
scholarly work. GS also provides metrics for individual researchers if
they have a GS profile with publications “claimed” under their GS
profile.


 
2.  Get noticed and get cited!  (top)


Here are some tips to increase your citation count

• Keep research profiles (ResearcherID, Google Scholar, Scopus AuthorID)
  accurate with your publications and consistently maintain these
  profiles periodically by ensuring that your latest publications are
  added.   
  Most importantly, make your profiles public so that other researchers can see your research profile!
   
• Maintain a consistent personal name. This will allow the citation databases more accurately aggregate your publications.
   
• Include institution name –
  “Nanyang Technological University” in your publications. It is also
  important to ensure that you spell the institution name correctly.
   
• Deposit accepted versions of papers in NTU’s Institutional Repository, DR-NTU.
  By doing so, your research work is searchable and accessible by other
  researchers around the world. This can help increase your chances of
  being cited.
  <How to submit to DR-NTU>
   
• Let us know if
  you noticed inaccuracies in your author, publication or citation
  details in Web of Science of Scopus. We can then recommend how to
  rectify the problems and also keep track of the rectification!
