Data-ow networks-or object ow networks in their more general form-are a suitable coordination language for distributed applications. Their advantages include easy to understand diagrams, natural parallelism and fault tolerance. Object-ow networks are used for coordination at user level in the context of the WOS. In addition, the implementation is based on WOS services and resources. A basic fra...

EUGENE Garfield’s seminal paper ‘Citation indexes for science’ and his subsequent response to Schoenbach provided the intellectual foundation for the wide variety of citation indexing products emerging as competitors to what has become the Web of Science (WoS). As Garfield succinctly pointed out, subject or classified indexes can, as a practical matter, only provide ‘subject’ access at the arti...

Using Web-of-Science data, portfolio analysis in terms of journal coverage can be projected on a base map for units of analysis such as countries, cities, universities, and firms. The units of analysis under study can be compared statistically across the 10,000+ journals. The interdisciplinarity of the portfolios is measured using Rao-Stirling diversity or Zhang et al.’s (in press) improved mea...

    Objective(s): Citation tracking is an important method to analyze the scientific impact of journal articles and can be done through Scopus (SC), Google Scholar (GS), or ISI web of knowledge (WOS). In the current study, we analyzed the citations to 2011-2012 articles of Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS) in these three resources.   Material and Methods: The rel...
