Citation searching: an introduction
Citation searching and analysis lets you:
- See who has influenced particular research
- Identify leading researchers in a particular field
- Identify emerging areas of research
- Identify competitors and potential collaborators
- Assess the impact of an individuals’ or group of individuals’ research output
However, as noted in Module 1, there are limitations to the sole use of publication and citation counts in evaluating research impact.
