Whether you are preparing for tenure review, or applying for a major grant, or trying to keep track of who is citing your work, contact me if you need assistance with citation analysis or setting up citation alerts.

Below are some of the most commonly used tools for citation analysis and tracking:

• Web of Science : Journal index coverage from 1900 to present; book index from 2005 to present.
• Scopus : Citation coverage limited to 1996 and onward.
• Google Scholar : Search Google Scholar or set up a Google Scholar account to track citations. For more accurate citation report based on Google results, you can try Harzing's Publish or Perish.

In addition to citation analysis, another tool for measuring scholarly impact is Journal Impact Factor. Below are most commonly used tools:

• Journal Citation Reports (Web of Science)
• SCImago Journal & Country Rank (Scopus)

Subject to my schedule and workload, I provide a limited Research on Demand serice to full time faculty in the departments of Anthropology, East Asian Studies, and Political Science. The service includes

• conducting bibliographical searches based on topics and subjects provided by the faculty,
• producing deliverable information in the form of bibliographies and/or pdf documents.

The preference is given to projects that are urgent, and have clearly defined, specific topics; and to faculty who is starting on a new research area, or those with limited experience using library databases. If I cannot accomodate your project, whether because my schedule does not permit or your project is deemed out of scope of this service, I will provide necessary assistance and training  to ensure that you can conduct the research successfully on your own.

Please email me at yye@jhu.edu for an initial consultation.
