dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT
Collecting citation metric data is important, as research funders
are increasingly demanding impact assessment, but there is
limited consensus on the most rigorous and accurate
approach. We compared three sources of citation counts
(Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus) to determine their
reliability, comprehensiveness, and currency. We identified
each tool’s strengths and limitations, particularly when considering
team outputs. Citation counts varied, with poor overall
agreement: Fleiss’ kappa, 0.075 (95% CI [0.01, 0.12]).
Researchers, funders, and administrators need to understand
each tool’s unique strengths and limitations and develop
guidelines for use within specific contexts. | en_US |
