- critical assessment of Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar.
http://oneentry.wordpress.com
This blog was set up (January 2006) with purpose to make critical
assessment of the multidisciplinary citation databases Web of Science,
Scopus and Google Scholar. The assessment is done according to a Swedish
BIBSAM-project with the project title:"Analys av Google Scholar och Scopus i jämförelse med Web of Science" [Analysis of Google Scholar and Scopus in comparison with Web of Science].
The use of a blog is a method to document the assessments within the
project and the way we try to get input from readers through blog
commentaires. The main purpose of the blog is not to be a working diary
of the project or a news announcements blog, but more of a documentation
blog. The blog contains not only blog entries, but also these
documentation pages:
FAQ - Google Scholar
FAQ - Scopus
FAQ - Web of Science
References to literature
The documentation material will be used as a knowledge base for making
more well-founded acquisitioning decisions within the Swedish libraries
community concerning the fee databases Scopus and Web of Science, but
also decisions concerning complement or single use of the free search
engine Google Scholar.
The project manager is Lars Iselid, Medical library, Umeå University
library, Sweden. The blog posts and the documentation webpages will be
updated in January, February, March, June and August. The project ends
in August 30th.
The project manager also has a reference group of five Swedish research
librarians to consult and cooperate with. The reference group are: Linda
Lindström, Chalmers Library in Gothenburg, Peter Nilén, Malmö University
library, Wilhelm Widmark, Stockholm University library and Anna
Orre-Remaker, Karlstad University library.
