What is impact factor of a journal?An indicator reflecting the research impact of a
particular journal based on the average number of citations to articles published in this journal in the last two years
Is calculated annually, last edition in 2012Devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of
the Institute for Scientific Information, in 1960Varies across disciplinesExample for Nature Methods:
What is h-index?Measures the productivity and impact of a scientist
(sometimes, a group of scientists, a department, a university)
Devised by Jorge Hirsch, a physicist at UCSD, in 2005
Based on the number of published papers and the number of citations that they have received
H-index of 3 means that at least 3 of the scientist’s papers have been cited at least 3 times each
Varies across disciplines
JCR (Journal Citation Reports)A database of information about academic journals,
most importantly impact factors; updated annuallyWeb of Science

Working with Web of ScienceResearch topic: Impact of class size on
students’ successFind the latest articles on the topicFind the top cited articles on the topicCreate an alert to stay updated on this topic
Construct your search well
Use “quotation marks” to search for a set phrase (words will be searched together)
Use several synonyms and separate them by ORSelect appropriate field: topic, author, organization, etc.
Most recent results
Most cited results
Create an alert to know what’s being published on this topic
Working with Web of Science, contd.Author: Laurie Leshin, Dean of the School of
Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, multidisciplinary research in science, most recently working with Curiosity Mars RoverFind publications by this author if Web of
ScienceFind Leshin’s h-indexSet citation alert for one of her articles
Search by author
Getting the name rightSearch with last name and initial(s), not the
full nameGrotzingerJP vs Grotzinger John
For names not originally in the Roman alphabet: check the spelling!Yelikov OR ElibekovKamzebayeva OR KamzebaevaKhalelov OR Halelov
When publishing, try to use the same spelling for all your publications
Narrow down the results by author’s initials, country, institution affiliation
Now you can look up the author’s h-index!
Set up citation alertsFor your articles to know when you get
citedFor articles that are important for your
research
Further workshops to attendRefWorks. Keep your research materials
organized, create reference lists and in-text citations in a matter of seconds, in any style.Every other Thursday, 4-5 pm
Searching library e-resources. Learn about one search features, get updated on the new databases in your subject area.Every other Wednesday, 4-5 pm
