Citation in Science - Don't Quote Me on That Forum
Moderators:
Following a debate on Citation in Science on 27th May 2008 at TalkScience – please continue the discussion here.
‘Tools for the Job’: does use of a single citation search tool (e.g. PubMed, UKPMC, Google Scholar, Web of Science) bias the results?
‘Pick n’ Mix’: selective citation to support a particular argument/hypothesis. Are people only citing portions of an article and deliberately ignoring conflicting evidence elsewhere within the same article?
‘Don’t Quote Me on That’: Even when the “original” paper is cited it is often misquoted. Do those citing not always fully understand the meaning behind a paper? Is this form of mis-citation more a case of misinterpretation rather than misrepresentation?
‘It’s all Just Greek to Me’: is there a bias against non-English language papers and those from “non-English-speaking” countries?
‘Return to Nature’: is there a preference for citing known/higher impact factor papers?
‘Measure for Measure’: are bibliometric measures an accurate reflection of research excellence?
