I see that you have an account on Google Scholar, which is a decent service for your problem.

Scopus is such a website. The problem is with the papers published before, say, 1995 and published with other publisher than Elsevier. Another one is Web of Science of Reuters. I "discoverd" the website a month or so ago and find it very professional. Both websites need an institutional access.

Google Scholar is more comprehensive website and easy to access.

Dear Dr. Michael Brückner, Yes. I am using google scholar. but in my case, I found that it has not detected five citations, in which my publications were cited ( all these cited publications are shown in Google Scholar). further it counted one citation which haven't actually cited my publication. That's why I'm searching for an accurate search engine.

I have posted a similar question, but some problem could occur...(https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_it_clear_that_the_number_of_citations_is_increasing_in_the_following_order_Researcher-ID_Web_of_Science_database_Scopus_and_Google)

Anyway, I often use Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. The problem is their parameters seems to be relatively different. Another tool ,ORCID, allows integrate Research-ID and Scopus. I think it is a good debate!

I think it depends. I don't have any institutional subscription to Web of Science or Scopus as my institution can't afford. So, Google Scholar is the best option for me.

J.M.J.W. Jayasinghe

It also happened to me too. Anyhow google bot failed to recognize the article that cited you and perhaps due to this reason you deprive from the citation count.

Regards.

Google Scholar is the most comprehensive solution. It reveals much higher citation counts than Web of Science or Scopus, because it's more inclusive and also considers non-peer reviewed papers, working papers, theses etc.

So, it depends what you're after. If you only want more proven and established citations, you should go for Web of Science or Scopus. If you want everything (and detect your citations early on), Google Scholar is the way to go.

However, I'd propose a more encompassing notion of citation. Links, retweets, likes, downloads, bookmarks and mentions can also be considered a sort of (weak) citation. Thus, such altmetrics could complement classical citations. Here is a very easy way to get these "alternative citations" or altmetrics: http://www.altmetric.com/bookmarklet.php

Dear J.M.JM Jayasinghe

The Google Scholar Citations provides authors a simple way to track citations to your articles . You can check who cites his publications , view graphs of citations over time and evaluate various citation metrics . You can also make your profile public so that it appears in Google Scholar results when people search , eg , your name

You can install (for free) the software program “Publish or Perish” (PoP), based on Google Scholar, to retrieve and analyze citations of your research publications.

Hi, the gold standard for citations are the Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index from Thomson Reuters or SCOPUS from Reed Elsevier. They are basically competitors. Although there are some differences in emphasis they try to cover the same market. These are the sort tools used for any bibliographic analysis for research assessment. It returns fewer citations than Google Scholar because it uses fewer journals to source data. Journals are selected according "quality" criteria. Google Scholar selects any citation from any source and therefore "inflates" the citation count. Google Scholar is free though and widely used. Check with your University Library to see if they have access to Citation Indexes or Scopus.

As you have discovered the Scholar can be a bit variable. Have you thought of curating your own citation count by gathering data from more than one source. Use a free citation software like Mendeley to manage the results.

I might also advise taking the time to get a ResearcherID [ Researcherid.com ] and an ORCID [ orcid.org ] identity. Both are free. One of the biggest variables in citation analysis is accurately identifying authors. Setting up either or both of these will make your identify as author more secure, especially in automated citation analysis.

A very strange data is related to "secondary documents" in Scopus. I do not know what does it means. Scopus service said that these do not belong to Scopus database, but what they were found? Many journals in secondary docs belongs at the same time to main docs...

I haven't email for my institution how can I make my profile public on google scholar?

Google scholar but normal google 

Google Scholar I think

now ESCI

This is good tool for citation's tracking.

CiteScore Tracker: Keep current with how a title’s CiteScore is building each month!

While a metric like CiteScore provides a consistent way to track performance annually, CiteScore Tracker also shows how the current year’s CiteScore builds up each month — additional information that may be helpful when making decisions.

How it works: CiteScore Tracker is calculated in the same way as CiteScore, but for the current year, rather than previous, complete years. The numerator (citation count) of the current year’s metric builds up every month as additional citations are received, so that the construction is consistent with the construction of the complete year CiteScore. Once the new annual CiteScore value is fixed, then the CiteScore Tracker for the next year begins and is displayed on Scopus.com. For examples, once CiteScore 2016 is fixed the CiteScore Tracker 2017 will also be initiated and available on Scopus...

What is the best web site to find citations of our research publications?

Agreed with other researchers / scholars' comments that Google Scholar Citation is one of he best websites to find one's research publications - it includes those features mentioned in the question above.

Scopus, google scholar, RG, science citation index, Orcid ID , Scopus ID   are the different citation analysis tools. Scopus has started indexing documents after 1995. In my opinion, Science Citation index will cover all citations prior to 1995 also. They are all updating their databases.

Counting Your Citations!

Researchers often want to know "How many times have my publications been cited?" This is much more easily asked than answered, and you should exercise caution in gathering and using these numbers. You may underreport your citations if you aren't careful. The methods described here use Web of Science. Be sure to ask for help if you need it...

http://202.127.145.151/siocl/Chemistry%20Library/cited.html

Google scholar citation is one of the best websites for user-friendly and easy to access citation.

Probably Google Scholar

Science Direct and Google Scholar

I find Google Scholar very user friendly, free, comprehensive and POP based on Google Scholar gives very insightful analysis of research paper quality.In my opinion g-index gives a better picture of overall research accomplishments of an academic than h-index because it takes care of the frequency of citation count of a paper rather than unweighted count as in h-index but I noticed that g-index is not so commonly used as it should be.

I think google scholar is the best web based search web site for best citations of your papers.

Google scholar in combination with Research Gate can provide you with an accurate report of citations

If you want to reach your citations quickly, use only google web and researcgate. Furthermore, you can use searching tools, like time limited in google.

Though Google Scholar is widely used site, there are a lot of gaps and there is hardly any framework of correction. It uses citations of any kind on the web. The real site of worthwhile citations may be considered as Scopus. This includes citations in Scopus indexed journals, conferences, and books. The profile can be corrected with the support available from Scopus.

Google scholar. Unfortunately, it can only find readable and posted pdf citations.

Google Scholar includes a "Cited by" count in its display of individual entries. This is calculated from citations appearing in other articles indexed by Google Scholar. Clicking on this link will take you to the list of citing articles. Since it is impossible to determine with any accuracy what publications Google Scholar does or does not index, this is not a reliable figure and will probably differ significantly from totals found in Web of Science...

http://202.127.145.151/siocl/Chemistry%20Library/cited.html

There are three major databases with indexes to find citations of a scientific paper or author.

These indexes are used as tools to assess research activity and to count the number of citations of scientific papers.

The best tools for finding the number of citations of a specific article are:

Web of Science

The Web of Science provides various options for finding citations. Once the search has been completed, information on the citations that an article has received can be found in the "Times Cited" section.

A more comprehensive search can be carried out via the "Cited Reference Search" tab, which can be used to search by cited author or paper. In addition, this option covers citations of papers that are not indexed in the Web of Science.

Scopus

A Scopus search gives a list of results, including the number of citations that papers have received. Author searches give the total number of citations that an author has received for all his/her works in the Scopus database.

Google Scholar

This search engine provides data on citations of authors and their works. It searches journals, books and book chapters. The results show information on the number of citations a paper has received among the documents in its database.

In addition, we recommend a tool devised by the EC3 research group at the University of Granada.

IN-Recs

This tool lists the most cited papers in a specialized field, as well as their authors, the papers and journals in which they were cited, and the papers cited by the authors themselves.

Searches for author citations are performed by selecting a field and clicking on the "Authors" tab. A list of the most cited authors in the field is shown by default, ranked by total number of citations. Authors can be listed according to other criteria, such as alphabetical order, citations per paper, Spanish citations or international citations.

http://crai.ub.edu/en/crai-services/support-researchers/citation-finder

I think google scholar is best cite for citation calculations.

Number of citations of a particular paper many times varies in Google Scholar and Research Gate. What could be reason of this variation?

Dear @Ashok, you may find some reasons for such variations in number of citations under following threads and answers.

Thanks @ Ljubomir for the information. It clarifies the variations. Looks like number of citations by Google Scholar are more inclusive. ResearchGate covers more research activities by researchers.

learn a lot

I prefer Google scholar as well.

I think Google scholar is the best web site to find citations of our research publications .

Mendeley, Academia Edu, Google Scholar and Researchgate are the websites which can satisfy your need.

Google scholar, reseaerchgate, scopus etc

Google Scholar is the most vast in this sense, I guess. GS also covers publications in languages other than English, but Research Gate is limited in this sense because of lack of such papers in RG. Therefore someone who started his career with english articles has an advantage. And american scientists do not need to learn a foreign language.

If you have thoughts on the quality of the publication, please share your opinion and experience here:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_do_you_mean_by_the_quality_of_a_scientific_paper2

There are many platforms where we can find citations of our research publications such as Google Scholar, Researchgate, Academia, and Scopus. However, in my opinion, Google Scholar and ResearchGate are the best.

I have discovered Dimensions. It considers citations in book chapters. Maybe is a differential.

In my limited experience, Google Scholar is the most reliable

Sincerely yours,

Xuan Nam Do

This is the link for Dimensions, mentioned by Giuseppe Pintaude in his contribution.

https://www.dimensions.ai/

Google Scholar, Researchgate, and Scopus can help you find the citations

Old papers will not get citations in google scholars. It is my personal opinion. My one paper got citation in scopus. But could not get in google scholars.

New platform Impactio!

Impactio offers the most inclusive academic profiles for researchers and scientists. It collects publications and citations information and expressed these data in a visualized citation map which demonstrate a researcher’s worldwide impact...

https://www.impactio.com/

For the given question: Which web site provide accurate information about citations (number of citations,cited publication) of our research publications?

The short answer is that it depends.

Long answer: Depends on what you mean with "accurate information". If you e.g. have 60 publications in hand after SLR and would like to analyse e.g. which of these are most valued as references in academic context, Google Scholar might not be the best bet. On the other hand, if the topic field is really new and your interested to see what sort of publications do collect most references fast (even when fresh and new), then Google Scholar and Research Gate might be the tool of choice. And so on. None of these mentioned tools are able to everything, and they provide bit varied results => you need to educate your self how they work and for what context they provide the best answer (case by case).

Dear J.M.J.W. Jayasinghe ,

I can highly recommend the interesting suggestion given by Ljubomir Jacić . In my one-day experience 😉 with “Impactio” I conclude that they retrieve even more citations than Google Scholar.

I am under the impression that they rely on GS (you can upload your GS profile) and use an unknown database as well. Of course, I use the free version so cannot say much about all the features this site offer.

Again, a great tip of this nice new player in the world of scientific platforms.

Best regards.

PS. As said by others, the other resources are (in order of number of citations from highest to lowest):

-Google Scholar

-Researchgate

-Scopus

-WoS (data can be obtained by registration in Publon)

You might have a look at a little report I wrote about this with a number of other platforms as well:

Method Information and tips related to search engines like Google S...

Google Scholar is the best of all. It gives citation of documents regardless of their journal indexing in almost all major formats including MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver etc., besides entries in Bibtex, EndNote, RefMan and RefWorks.

Good discussion. Check the following also.

Measuring Your Impact: Impact Factor, Citation Analysis, and other Metrics: Citation Analysis

(https://researchguides.uic.edu/c.php?g=252299&p=1683205)

It's good to remember, even when Google Scholar might show the biggest number, it is only because it is using widest number of reference sources.

If e.g. for job purposes a unit of university is trying to evaluate your work, they might use other sources to take a look how much references you receive from high impact journals etc. and in that regards GS is probably not their go to place.

B.R.,

Ari

Researchgate, and Scopus are the best for your question

One can receive citation alerts for his works from Scopus, Google Scholar and Researchgate. Some publishers (Ex: Elsevier, Springer) also send citation alerts to authors.

I was followed on twitter by Bibliography & Citation

This project allows keeping, outputting, exporting and importing bibliographic data... Maybe, some of you will be interested in this solution for citations. Many case studies are available. I will check in details.

https://twitter.com/BibCite

https://www.drupal.org/project/bibcite

best .... is Google Scholar .... better click on the option of ... confirm authorship before adding in the list ... else many irrelevant and similar name publications are added in the profile

Research-gate!!!

Google scholar and RG.

The best citation machine is Google scholar. Researchgate only show citations if a paper and papers that cited it are uploaded on RG. Scopus and Web of science recognise citations only if the paper and the papers that cite it are indexed by Scopus and Web of science. Google scholar pick citations from all sources except offline.

Google scholar

Hi,

you would need to know, why you want to evaluate the citation counts.

For example, if you are looking for a persons "global reach" as an author with audience, then maybe Google scholar?

On the other hand, if you look his/her reach of other, most impactful publishing academic authors reach as an academic writer / author, then you need to look into crossref, Scopus or Web of Science citation counts.

B.R.,

Ari

Google scholar

SCOPUS Preview by Elsevier, and ISI Web of Science by Thomson Reuters should be considered. However, some indexed citations are not captured within these databases. Conversely, Google scholar captures the widest indexed citations.

You could also consider to compare 2-3 cites results together, if you want to find those publications, which are widely appreciated by all audience.

e.g. previously mentioned SCOPUS Preview by Elsevier, and ISI Web of Science by Thomson Reuters for academic reference counts, compared to google scholar and you could put into the mix the results from Microsoft citation database too ( https://academic.microsoft.com/home )

Microsoft offers free citation index, which set of studies have found that its citation counts tend to be slightly larger than those of Scopus but smaller than Google Scholar, with disciplinary variations.

Research Gate and Google Scholar

https://www.researchgate.net/post/What-is-the-best-web-site-to-find-citations-of-our-research-publications

Dear Reza Fotohi , why do you bring the link of this discussion room? You are already here. Make some real contribution!

Google Scholar

Google scholar

Google scholar gives the "best number", and is most like closest to the topic of this question " to find citations of our research publications?"

But what do you mean with the accurate part? "Which web site provide accurate information about citations "

I prefer Scopus it is more professional and up to date, with the records of the indexed research records.

I would personally use as many as there is available, if I'm looking citations to my work to find new people to collaborate with.

This is fine site to find citations: The Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) by Thomson Reuters Web of Science .

http://info.clarivate.com/ESCI?utm_campaign=15277-October-Web%20of%20Science%20Newsletter%20Europe-35176&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua&elqTrackId=9093b2e9bf1343a3b1771490657e76c3&elq=39e04bc453df48a6b9dcfd392b58596c&elqaid=35176&elqat=1&elqCampaignId=15277

Google Scholar is a popular way for this.

When you are evaluating scholarly publications and in that context looking for citation counts and websites, you want to study this content:

https://uva.libguides.com/bibliometrics/citation_databases

I trusted Google scholar citation than others. Scopus may be other one

Also, you might want to take a look to semantic scholar to see how well your work is collected to citation index databases

For example:

https://www.semanticscholar.org/author/A.-Happonen/1995945

Google Scholar is indexing more journals and more publication types than other database.

Some good advices may be found in this discussion room.

Notice Rob Keller advices.

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Method_for_Improving_Recognition_of_Citations_References_on_ResearchGate

I just tried to use altmetric, it refused to accept my yahoo email address. So can't recommend it.

I guess it ResearchGate is the most comprehensive solution.

Fir this one:

...It is better if that web site update frequently, provide free access and consider majority of journals and conferences...

Probably the best answer is Google scholar.

But e.g. for academic job positions, the employer might have stated they will be looking for the Scopus numbers.

DataCite is a global not-for-profit membership organization that provides open infrastructure to identify, find, cite, connect, and use research. DataCite was founded in 2009 to make research data citable in the literature using digital object identifiers (DOIs), thereby providing an incentive for researchers to share their data...

https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/01/26/more-than-just-data-citation-an-interview-with-datacite/?informz=1

Research Gate contains much lower number of citations than other databases such as Google Scholar or Scopus. This pair are the best, in my opinion. Research Gate fails to include a relevant number of citations or even consider cero citations for works that are cited elsewhere.

What would "accurate information" mean in this context?

Do you want every citation to be counted (e.g. some one cites your work in wikipedia article or in blog post)?

Or maybe you want just "accurate information" in sense of counts of academic citations?

Different indexing method do give different numbers and these are useful for different purposes.

It's probably up to the person who asks, to define what is "accurate".

Dear Juan José Corrales , you may delete 7 out of eight identical answers. You have faced a problem with internet and /or RG response. It happens!

Google Scholar, WOS, SCOPUS, RG, Academia.
