During this introduction to citation tracking and bibliometrics we will use a range of ‘impact factor’ tools to find top journals and conferences, count citations and measure the impact of publications and researchers.

Subjects to be covered include:

Understanding the main issues involved in using citation analysis to measure impact – Using Journal Citation Reports and CiteScore Journal Metrics to find journal impact factors – Using Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar to track and count citations to papers and individual researchers – Calculating your own h-index – Measuring impact using altmetrics – Creating a researcher profile and using ORCID IDs to identify your work.

Intended Audience: Researchers, Academics, Research Support Staff and Research Postgraduates in the Medical Sciences.
