ItemNo Preview AvailableWeb citations: tracking citation impact( 2007)This paper discusses the Web Citation Index (WCI) and other options for citation tracking, such as Google Scholar and Scopus. These are tools that can assist researchers to measure the quality of their papers to support the Australian Government’s Research Quality Framework (RQF) requirements. One measure of establishing quality of the research is to indicate metrics, such as the journal impact factor. Another means of establishing peer evaluation is for researchers to be aware of those papers that are citing their own work. This paper provides a commentary about different tools that are available to the research community. Librarians need to know what these tools are to be able to present a comprehensive suite of products to researchers.
