You are invited to join us on Thursday, April 6th, from 10 A.M - 11 A.M. for a virtual seminar by Lewis Worley, BE, and Robyn Gleasner, MLIS.
Topic: HSC Citation Analysis Project
Description: The HSC Citation Analysis Project set out to answer the following questions: where are faculty at the HSC publishing, does HSLIC/UNM provide access to these journals, what journals are the authors citing, and does HSLIC/UNM provide access to those journals. The answers to the questions would assist in the evaluation of HSLIC’s journal collection and determine potential gaps. This session will show how we went about attempting to answer these questions from pulling data from Web of Science, analyzing it, and wrangling and parsing it using a number of programs and scripts including excel, open refine, SQL, and python.
Learning Objectives:
We will discuss:
- What citation analysis is and why it is beneficial for collection evaluation
- Our process of pulling, cleaning, wrangling, and parsing the data to meet our needs
- Next steps to analyze the data and how to apply the analysis to future collection development decisions
