Hello all,
We're looking at bibliometrics too. We'd like to take one of the
citation analysis databases like SciVal but feel that it needs specific
expertise in order to get good value from it. We've had good support
for this, but nobody willing to put their hands in their pockets to pay
for it yet! :)
On a separate note, does anyone subscribe or use the citation index
Clase and Periódica?
Thanks,
Kara
