During this introduction to citation tracking and bibliometrics we will use a range of ‘impact factor’ tools to find top journals and conferences, count citations and measure the impact of publications and researchers.

We will cover: the main issues involved in using citation analysis to measure impact; Journal Citation Reports and CiteScore Journal Metrics to find journal impact factors; Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar to track and count citations to papers and individual researchers; how to calculate your own h-index; measuring impact using altmetrics; creating a researcher profile; and using ORCID IDs to identify your work.
