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…

1. Perform an ‘Author Search’ and search for the author of interest
2. Find the correct author from the results list and click on the author’s name
3. From the author’s detail page, find the ‘Author History’ box on the right and click on the number next to ‘References’
4. This opens the search results window and lists the references the author has cited across his or her publications
5. Click on ‘Analyze search results’ and open the ‘Source’ tab
6. 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
7. You can also export, print and email the information from the charts

Take a look at the video to view these steps in action. You can also ask us if you have any questions about citation metrics.

EndNote offers many more citation styles (AKA output styles) than are built-in to the program by default. If you don’t see the specific journal style that you need, please contact the MSK reference staff for assistance (phone: 212.639.7439).

You can also register for an EndNote workshop if you would like to learn more about this bibliographic management tool.

Aside from its excellent PICO formatted search query option and its clearly labeled evidence hierarchy system, Trip now offers a couple of other useful functions to enhance your workflow. After signing-up with the database (and upgrading to a premium account), you will have the ability to export citations to Excel spreadsheets and EndNote, as well as translate citation information into one of six language: Cymraeg, Francais, Deutsche, Espanol, Italiano, and Portugues. Look for these functions at the top of your search results page.

Please ask us if you would like help navigating the Trip Database or need EndNote support.
