Abstract

Due to the effect of citation impact
on The Higher Education (THE) world university ranking system, most of
the researchers are looking for some helpful techniques to increase
their citation record. This paper by reviewing the relevant articles
extracts 33 different ways for increasing the citations possibilities.
The results show that the article visibility has tended to receive more
download and citations. This is probably the first study to collect over
30 different ways to improve the citation record. Further study is
needed to explore and expand these techniques in specific fields of
study in order to make the results more precisely. © by the author(s).

English abstract

This study
uses citation analysis from two citation tracking databases, Google
Scholar (GS) and ISI Web of Science, in order to test the correlation
between them and examine the effect of the number of paper versions on
citations. The data were retrieved from the Essential Science Indicators
and Google Scholar for 101 highly cited papers from Malaysia in the
field of engineering. An equation for estimating the citation in ISI
based on Google scholar is offered. The results show a significant and
positive relationship between both citation in Google Scholar and ISI
Web of Science with the number of versions. This relationship is higher
between versions and ISI citations (r = 0.395, p<0.01) than between
versions and Google Scholar citations (r = 0.315, p<0.01). Free
access to data provided by Google Scholar and the correlation to get ISI
citation which is costly, allow more transparency in tenure reviews,
funding agency and other science policy, to count citations and analyze
scholars’ performance more precisely.

Online communities within the
enterprise offer their leaders an easy and accessible way to attract,
engage, and influence others. Our research studies the recommendation of
social media content to leaders (owners) of online communities within
the enterprise. We developed a system that suggests to owners new
content from outside the community, which might interest the community
members. As online communities are taking a central role in the
pervasion of social media to the enterprise, sharing such
recommendations can help owners create a more lively and engaging
community. We compared seven different methods for generating
recommendations, including content-based, member-based, and
hybridization of the two. For member-based recommendations, we
experimented with three groups: owners, active members, and regular
members. Our evaluation is based on a survey in which 851 community
owners rated a total of 8,218 recommended content items. We analyzed the
quality of the different recommendation methods and examined the effect
of different community characteristics, such as type and size.

Abstract:
   

This study uses citation analysis from two citation
tracking databases, Google Scholar (GS) and ISI Web of Science, in order
to test the correlation between them and examine the effect of the
number of paper versions on citations. The data were retrieved from the
Essential Science Indicators and Google Scholar for 101 highly cited
papers from Malaysia in the field of engineering. An equation for
estimating the citation in ISI based on Google scholar is offered. The
results show a significant and positive relationship between both
citation in Google Scholar and ISI Web of Science with the number of
versions. This relationship is higher between versions and ISI citations
(r = 0.395, p<0.01) than between versions and Google Scholar
citations (r = 0.315, p<0.01). Free access to data provided by Google
Scholar and the correlation to get ISI citation which is costly, allow
more transparency in tenure reviews, funding agency and other science
policy, to count citations and analyze scholars’ performance more
precisely.
