[1306.0727] Does it Matter Which Citation Tool is Used to Compare the h-index of a Group of Highly Cited Researchers?
h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the research impact studies based on the number of publications and citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions. The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the outputs and results from these three citation databases namely Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science based upon the h-index of a group of highly cited researchers (Nobel Prize winner scientist). The purposive sampling method was adopted to collect the required data. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the h-index between three citation indexes of Scopus, Google scholar, and Web of Science; the Google scholar h-index was more than the h-index in two other databases. It was also concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between h-indice...

Globalization of R&D and Developing Countries
Arash Golnam, Nader Ale Ebrahim, Ali Ghazizadeh 6th Conference of Industries and Mines R&D Centers- R&D Globalization (26 June 2007), pp. 1-41. Reflecting a broader trend towards the off shoring of services, a number of developing countries are attracting foreign direct investment in research and development. Transnational corporations, including the ones headquartered in developed countries, are selecting developing countries as locations for such activities. With the off shoring of research and development, firms aim to access the skills of new locations, adapting products to local markets and reducing their costs, in response to competitive pressures, technological changes and a more liberal trade and investment environment. In particular, information and communication technologies have had a profound effect on the way economic activities, including research and development, are organized, enabling firms to allocate tasks on a global scale through intra-firm information ..
How to increase h-index; “Advertise and disseminate publications”
Nader Ale Ebrahim The First Iranian Students Scientific Conference in Malaysia (09 April 2011), pp. 1-69. Publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals is a halfway of receiving citation in the future. The rest of the way is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”. Familiarity with the tools allows the researcher to increase his/her h-index in the short time. H-index shows the academicians influences in the specified field of research. Therefore, a person with higher level of h-index has more high quality publications with high amount of citations. This presentation, covers the following topics: Why publish and increase h-index?, Definition of h-index and g-index, Importance of h-index, How to use “Research Tools” Mind Map, Paper title preparation, Selecting keywords, Select the proper journal, Advertise published article, and finally Trace published article citation....
The biggest experience to reduce environmental pollutants by substitute fuel CNG in the Middle East & the Middle Asia

(2004) The biggest experience to reduce environmental pollutants by substitute fuel CNG in the Middle East & the Middle Asia, 9th International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV) Conference, NGV 2004, Buenos Aires, Argentina. pp. 1-25. Automobile industry is an exhaustive industry bringing development for any country. The industrial capabilities needed for development rest in this branch of industry. The Iranian automobile making companies move in line with this aim. But in recent decades, in addition to development of automobile industry, the pollution too has occupied the minds of the authorities of these companies. Some measures, investments, researches, and exhaustive studies related to the pollution problem have been made to produce an automobile of higher t..
Success factors for innovation management in networks of small and medium enterprises
Alexandra Rese, Daniel Baier R&D Management, Vol. 41, No. 2. (2011), pp. 138-155. Because firms today operate in increasingly turbulent and complex environments, they need to be more proactive and innovative. Networks are gaining in importance, especially for small and medium enterprises with limited resources as R&D cooperations or cooperations along the value chain seem to be the only way to succeed with technologically challenging and promising but also expensive and risky product innovations. One of the key problems of these networks, however, is the question of how to plan, organize and control the innovation processes that are distributed over several partners. Theoretically derived and empirically proven success factors could help as much here as in the traditional success/failure discussion of new product development within firms. This paper discusses the effects of such factors, which partly derive from the traditional success/failure discussion within firms (e.g. marke..

Virtual team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A virtual team (also known as a geographically dispersed team or GDT) is a group of individuals who work across time, space and organizational boundaries with links strengthened by webs of communication technology. Powell, Piccoli and Ives define virtual teams in their literature review article "as groups of geographically, organizationally and/or time dispersed workers brought together by information and telecommunication technologies to accomplish one or more organizational tasks."[1] Ale Ebrahim, N., Ahmed, S. & Taha, Z. in their recent (2009) literature review paper, added two key issues to definition of a virtual team “as small temporary groups of geographically, organizationally and/ or time dispersed knowledge workers who coordinate their work predominantly with electronic information and communication technologies in order to accomplish one or more organization tasks”[2]

Bibliometrics
Overview
Bibliometrics, citation analysis, or author/lab/journal impact, is a method aimed at determining the importance and influence of (typically peer-reviewed) journals, journal articles and their authors. Several techniques have been developed and there is active discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of each. Below you will find articles discussing these techniques and the controversies, as well as the tools most often used to gather and analyze the data.The analysis can be performed on authors, journals or institutions, but the tools and methods can differ depending on which category is chosen. Here are some quick tip and caveats for each.
- Journals - The primary tool for bibliometrics on journals is Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The calculations are done yearly by Thomson and presented through JCR. The key measure in JCR is the Impact Factor, though there is on-going debate over the true accuracy and value of this measure. Some of the articles below touch on this debate.
- Authors - The primary tool available to NOAA for bibliometrics on authors is Web of Science. Important factors to consider while analyzing citations to authors are variations and inaccuracies in the formats of names that introduce ambiguity and self-citations. Name variations can be addressed by truncating names (using * at the end of a name) to capture all variations. Then, one can look at each cited reference to determine if the paper is actually by the target author. There are now tools to remove self-citations in a cited reference list. Tools such as ResearcherID are also aimed at addressing the issue of ambiguous citations. Another emerging means of measuring author impact is the Hirsch index or h-index. Some of the tools below assist with calculating and interpreting the h-index. Similar to the h-index, Egghe index or g-index also measures author's impact but is more complicated to calculate.
- Institutions - The primary tool available to NOAA for bibliometrics on institutions is Web of Science. Important factors to consider while analyzing citations to institutions are variations in the formats. NOAA and its various offices, for instance, have been cited using thousands of variations. Zip code can be used to capture all variations in a given lab's name, but that may still include inappropriate or exclude appropriate citations. Also, if performing analysis on institutions using personal authors, make sure to count papers co-authored by colleagues in the same lab once.
Web of Science (Science Citation Index) 1965 - Bibliometric features in Web of Science include cited reference searching as well as citation analysis tools that will work on the article or author level. Please see the user education page for Web of Science training resources.
Journal Citation Reports (Science Edition) 2006 -Journal Citation Reports (Science Edition) aggregates and tabulates citation and article counts as indicators of how frequently current researchers are using individual journals. It contains data from over 5,900 journals in science and technology allowing one to evaluate and compare journals. Help includes Using Journal Citation Reports Wisely as well as a table of contents for more specific questions. Pre-recorded training sessions are also available.

Academic Ranking of World Universities
Also known as the Shanghai ranking, it was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities and the Institute of Higher Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China and is now updated annually.
Google Scholar
The search results list in Google Scholar now links to documents citing and articles related to a single article. The total number of citing documents may often be higher than results in Web of Science because it includes documents not indexed in Web of Science, but it may also be duplicative or otherwise less authoritative. Also, the Scholar H-Index Calculator, is a Firefox add-on that will automatically display citation indices (h-index, etc.). The advanced mode allows manual selection of papers, editing of self citations and author count values and much more. If using Zotero, with Firefox, Zotero Scholar Citations, is a Firefox/Zotero add-on for auto-fetching the number of citations from Google Scholar.
