An introduction to citation tracking and bibliometrics, in which we use a range of ‘impact factor’ tools to find top journals and conferences, count citations and measure the impact of publications and researchers. The session will include: the main issues involved in using citation analysis to measure impact; Journal Citation Reports and CiteScore Journal Metrics to find journal impact factors; 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 Sciences and Social Sciences.
