Citations for books and chapters
Citation counts for books and book chapters can be found in the same way as for other publication types (See Metrics for publications). Additional sources may need to be consulted.
It may be more difficult to verify the citation counts for book chapters. This happens because often there are inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the referencing data for Books (date, author and edition variations) or for Book Chapters (book v book chapter cited, plus errors and variations).
You may need to rely on additional indicators of the prestige, impact, calibre of your book and book chapters and be able to demonstrate that in words (narratives that includes other indicators of research impact).
Book and chapter citation metric sources
When it is difficult to track citation counts for books/book chapters via the tradition citation indexes (Web of Science, Scopus, or Google Scholar), consider using other discipline specific tools to supplement your searches to track and monitor evidence.
