July 2009 Archives
I wanted to tweet about this but it started to get over 140 characters. Plus Twitter is about to get hammered by #LDSC09 soon.
I have found 3 citations of the paper I wrote with Tom Conkling over a year ago in the Journal of Academic Librarian. The first to show up was in JAL and an alert came from Web of Science by Thompson Reuters, and the same citation showed up a few weeks later in Scopus by Elsevier. If use Google Scholar, however, you can find two other citations: one in Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship and the other at an IEEE conference, both significant and scholarly.
It points back to the central problem as often asked of me as a librarian, "Is there one way to track citations for a paper or a person?" And my answer is "No, not yet."
