There is a now a way to generate reports of bibliographic references with annual statistics for the numbers of citing papers called Citation Reports. It is offered through ISI’s Web of Knowledge (Web of Science, or Science Citation Index, to name the original print version). Here are the steps: 1. Open the database from the Library’s Homepage by choosing “Articles and Databases”, then looking under “W” for Web of Science. 2. Make any refinements such as topical segments or years. 3. Click on “General Search” button (at top). 4. Run an author search, or use the new tool “Author Finder” to run a more refined author search. 5. After the results finish appearing, simply click on the Citation Report button (at the right).
Ask a librarian if there are any questions or problems, or write to this blog!
