Indian Citation Index (IndianCitationIndex.com) Launched
India is contributing good amount of knowledge contents to world
literature but there is no tool for evaluation and measurement of its
impact, quality and quantity. Accordingly, Indian researchers,
scholars, policy makers, decision takers, funding agencies and others
too have been facing a big problem to perform/assess the
contribution/contributors objectively. At international level few
tools/databases like WoS and SCOPUS are available but coverage of
Indian knowledge contents in these databases are negligible.
Therefore, these tools/databases are not adequate to evaluate/analyze
India's knowledge contents.
As is known that to come over such limitation, few of the countries,
like China, Korea, Japan etc. have already brought out their own
citation indexes for proper evaluation and representation of their R&D
contribution. With the same approach and bridge existing gap, I am
happy to inform you that the "Indian Citation Index (ICI)" has come in
existence for the benefit of R&D community including researchers,
planers, decision makers, funding agencies etc. and it is
ready/available for users w.e.f. 25th October 2010.
Indian Citation Index (ICI) is a home grown citation database, planned
to have multidisciplinary information/knowledge contents from about
1000 top Indian scholarly journals. It provides powerful search engine
to perform search and evaluate researchers, policy makers, decision
makers, institutions, subjects, city, state etc. Presently, ICI have
five years back files data depth of 400 plus journals which would go
over to 1000 journals by March/April 2011. ICI is equipped with all
major search features including analytics to serve the requirements of
users. Also, by the end of December 2010, few more specific and
elaborative search features will be in place to meet local needs more
specifically.
Indian Citation Index (ICI) is developed by a society named "The
Knowledge Foundation" which is fully supported by M/s Divan
Enterprise. ICI as a product for sale, distribution, enter into
agreements, receive revenue etc is exclusively owned by M/s Divan
Enterprise. The ICI may be accessed by its URL:
www.indiancitationindex.com.
We are happy to announce that Indian Citation Index (ICI) is being
launched on 25th October 2010 at New Delhi, India.
