Citation index
A citation index is a database that tracks the number of times a publication has been cited by other publications. It allows researchers and scientists to gauge the impact and influence of a particular publication and its authors.
For example, the Web of Science is a citation index that covers over 23,000 scholarly journals across various disciplines, including science, technology, social sciences, and the arts and humanities. It provides information on the number of times a paper has been cited by other papers indexed in the database, as well as the number of citations for each author. By using this information, researchers can evaluate the impact of their work and identify other key articles in their field.
