Summary
In
this epoch of massive research findings, each day research corpus is being
generated. New discoveries are always based on previously conducted research
experiments. Researchers do citations to acknowledge the prior work and its
author Citations serves as key factors for measuring the different technical
aspects of research work such as ranking the researchers, calculating the
impact factor of journals, H-index, I-index, to point out research trends, for
allocating research grants and prizes etc. The researchers have argued that
only quantitative analysis is not sufficient for measuring the potential
aspects of research and suggested to incorporate the reasons for citations for
the betterment of analysis. Therefore, both quantitative and qualitative
approaches should be considered. In the field of citation analysis, there exist
different techniques that are based on Content, Metadata, and Citation count
but the results produced to perform this task are insufficient for making
potential decisions. To make potential decisions the state-of-the-art results
should be improved. This special issue aims to turn the focus of research
community towards importance of Citation Analysis.
