Dymphie H's List: Citation

February 2010\nWolfram|Alpha\n\nThis is my farewell review. Mary Kay Dodero offered me this platform 10 years ago, and many editors have helped me, Mary Claire Krzewinski for the longest time, in getting my message through every month. I much appreciate their support and the privilege to have had the opportunity to publish 227 database reviews. It was icing on the cake that my favorite reviewer and predecessor, Jim Rettig, recommended me to take over his position as Gale's reviewer for digital ready reference sources. While it is the omega of my column, it happens to end with a review of an innovative and promising factographic database called Wolfram Alpha.\nJanuary 2010\nMicrosoft Academic Search\n\nThis second coming of a free academic database is much smaller than the earlier (very poor and withdrawn) version was, but it is far better in terms of both content and software, focusing on computer science and - to a limited extent on information science. It is a promising start by the Microsoft Research Asia group for extending it to many other disciplines.\nDecember 2009\nDOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals\n\nThe DOAJ database, with bibliographic information about nearly 5,000 open-access journals, offers more than its name implies, by virtue of also having searchable traditional bibliographic data, keywords and abstracts for 331,000 articles of 1,725 open-access scholarly journals. The software offers good browsing options for the journal records, but the search and output features should be enhanced. Adding records about journals with delayed open access (of 6-12 months moratorium) would significantly enhance this excellent database.\nNovember 2009\nHighWire Press\n\nHighWire Press remains the best host of the digital collection of scholarly publishers who want to offer access to the digital versions of their journals, but don't have the skills, resources and/or interest to do it on their own.\n\nHighWire Press has not only the largest full-text searchable, hosted collections of more than six million sch

"Here’s a list of things that make me most angry:

* the DOI field not being exported
* a period being added to the end of the DOI field (WTF?!?)
* http://dx.doi.org/ being added to the front of the DOI in the DOI field
* the DOI being routed to the Links field with the http://dx.doi.org/ in front of it
* NTIS database results coming out as Journal Articles – it’s NTIS, all of the entries are by definition technical reports even if the content was presented at a meeting or whatever
* NTIS database results not transfering the report number
* Conferences seem to never come in right from anywher"

O jee ... die DOI aanvullen, daar bezondig ik me ook aan (bloos)

"This paper introduces two journal metrics recently endorsed by Elsevier’s Scopus: SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP). SJR weights citations according to the status of the citing journal and aims to measure journal prestige rather than popularity.

It presents the main features of the two indicators, comparing them one with another, and with a journal impact measure similar to Thomson Reuters’ journal impact factor (JIF)."
