Bibliographic Databases: Some Critical Points
نویسنده
چکیده
Current flow of information necessitates a systematic approach to what authors, reviewers and editors read and use as references. The objectivity of communication is increasingly dependent on a comprehensive literature search through online databases (1). Academic institutions wishing to succeed in the global competition secure access to the prestigious databases and archives (2). Journal editors strive to improve the indexing potential of their journals by adhering to the selection criteria of bibliographic databases and by getting access to networking sites (3).

Comparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine
Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...

Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) is a conceptual model for the arrangement of bibliographic records in catalogs and databases which was proposed in IFLA 1997, following a plan for revising Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR). This model is inclined to be separated from the other cataloging rules, and uses a new structure for storing and displaying bibliographic record...
متن کاملNetwork-based statistical comparison of citation topology of bibliographic databases
Modern bibliographic databases provide the basis for scientific research and its evaluation. While their content and structure differ substantially, there exist only informal notions on their reliability. Here we compare the topological consistency of citation networks extracted from six popular bibliographic databases including Web of Science, CiteSeer and arXiv.org. The networks are assessed ...
متن کاملMonodromy problem for the degenerate critical points
For the polynomial planar vector fields with a hyperbolic or nilpotent critical point at the origin, the monodromy problem has been solved, but for the strongly degenerate critical points this problem is still open. When the critical point is monodromic, the stability problem or the center- focus problem is an open problem too. In this paper we will consider the polynomial planar vector fields ...
متن کاملZ39.50 and Personal Bibliographic Software
Many thousands of researchers are now using personal bibliographic managers such as Reference Manager, EndNote and ProCite to access bibliographic databases via the Z39.50 protocol. Using the EndNote software as an example, this paper demonstrates how researchers are using a standard search interface to access diverse databases and download references into their personal databases. There follow...
