citing, e.g., the invisible college, are discussed. Its relation with
research evaluation is discussed. This leads to a discussion of the databases
that are available to collect citations: Web of Science, Scopus and Google
Scholar. The author h-index is discussed. The students make simple practical
exercises using the Internet. |
