Citations in BazEkon
Location: without limitation
Citations in BazEkon works only on the processed (indexed) bibliographical annotations. The head section of the software is updated daily to inform what part of the whole set of bibliographical annotations is included in the search results. At the same time, on the each result screen it is possible to check the number of phrase occurrences (author’s name or journal title) in bibliographical annotations that haven’t been processed yet. This makes it possible for authors and publishers to independently calculate indicators they have been searching for.
From the beginning of 2012, bibliographical annotations are processed on an ongoing basis. In addition, bibliographical annotations pointing to the works of the KUE employees (in compliance with the records of Dorobek database) are processed retrospectively, which also applies the journals indexed in BazEkon. The e-mail form in the contact section can be used to submit bibliographical annotations to be processed, however this option is exclusively for the KUE employees.
The indicators calculated by the Citations in BazEkon software are presented in the two main categories: with and without self-citations. Please note that self citations concern only authors as consistent with the observed practice we do not eliminate citations pointing to the journals they originate from. In addition, when searching for citations of a particular author there is an option to include only citations from journals. The results of such query are then comparable in method to the results displayed in WoK and Scopus databases.
The results of the Citations in BazEkon software depend on whether all of the bibliographical annotations associated with a particular author or journal have been processed. As with any data processing sofware the results also depend on the quality of data.
The said quality is determined by:
- the author's precision in editing the bibliographical annotations;
- the publisher 's precision (journal or series publishers);
- BazEkon publisher’s precision.
