Citation index
A
citation index
is a kind of
bibliographic database
, an index of
citations
between publications, allowing the user to easily establish which later documents cite which earlier documents. A form of citation index is first found in 12th-century Hebrew religious literature. Legal citation indexes are found in the 18th century and were made popular by
citators
such as
Shepard's Citations
(1873). In 1960,
Eugene Garfield
's
Institute for Scientific Information
(ISI) introduced the first citation index for papers published in
academic journals
, first the
Science Citation Index
(SCI), and later the
Social Sciences Citation Index
(SSCI) and the
Arts and Humanities Citation Index
(AHCI). The first automated citation indexing was done by
CiteSeer
in 1997. Other sources for such data include
Google Scholar
and Elsevier's
Scopus
.
