Finding the publication metrics for my publication
I am interested to see what publication metrics I can see about my publication “intercloud utility-oriented federation of cloud computing environments…” How are citations for this research output distributed over time?
|
1. In Dimensions you can use basic search operators such as 'AND' + 'OR' + 'NOT', as in other databases/indexes that you are familiar with. 2. You can use parentheses to group search terms and operators correctly. 3. You can use Double Quotes to find an exact match for a phrase. 4. You can choose to search in the 'Full data' (full text), or in the 'Title/abstract' (main metadata for the publication/output). 5. In this example, we have used a phrase search on words in the title of the publication. 6. If the source data has been successfully tracked, Dimensions will return everything about it. 7. Clearly, in some cases even a correctly entered keyword will not retrieve any results in a search if it is not present in the database. |
Finding researchers working in a specific field
Can I find researchers doing work on cost-utility analysis in disaster recovery to potentially collaborate with?

1. In Dimensions click the publications heading 2. Type a search similar to - cost-utility AND (humanitarian OR crises OR emergency OR disaster OR relief) - into the search box at the head of the page. 3. Use the filters to the left or the analytical views to the right to break the data down further and explore what you can find about the researchers working in this research area. |
