Want to determine which sources a particular author cites most often? Follow these easy steps in Scopus to analyze citation counts from an author’s total publications. It could be a useful way of keeping up with the literature in your area of interest…
- Perform an ‘Author Search’ and search for the author of interest
- Find the correct author from the results list and click on the author’s name
- From the author’s detail page, find the ‘Author History’ box on the right and click on the number next to ‘References’
- This opens the search results window and lists the references the author has cited across his or her publications
- Click on ‘Analyze search results’ and open the ‘Source’ tab
- Here you’ll not only see a list of the top sources the author references (and number of documents from each source), but you can also use the graph to view even more details, or create a chart in which you can compare journal metric values
- You can also export, print and email the information from the charts
