Abstract

ABSTRACT University faculty under consideration for tenure and promotion are expected to demonstrate to their committees the value of their scholarly output. This case study involves the creation of a citation analysis service at a midsized university and reviews many of the existing sources for metrics and journal rankings – both subscription-based and freely available. The aim is to offer a roadmap for budget-minded academic libraries that want to assist their faculty in compiling individualized portfolios that include bibliometrics. Many existing tools favor the hard science fields. This case study focuses on a pathway through the confusing subject of citation analysis with a focus on the social sciences and humanities while highlighting the benefits for academic institutions and libraries.

期刊介绍： The Reference Librarian aims to be a standard resource for everyone interested in the practice of reference work, from library and information science students to practicing reference librarians and full-time researchers. It enables readers to keep up with the changing face of reference, presenting new ideas for consideration. The Reference Librarian publishes articles about all aspects of the reference process, some research-based and some applied. Current trends and traditional questions are equally welcome. Many articles concern new electronic tools and resources, best practices in instruction and reference service, analysis of marketing of services, and effectiveness studies.
