Hi everyone, Last week, the 1findr platform (www.1findr.com) for research discovery and analytics was launched in its free version. This week on the blog, I've done a comparative analysis to assess the coverage of 1findr against that of Dimensions by Digital Science. These two platforms represent a new approach to collecting and collating bibliographic data. Stacked up against each other, the major difference seems to be in the volume of open access material, but there are also interesting findings about document types and coverage over time-we're talking centuries, not just years or decades.
You can see my full comparative analysis here: http://www.sciencemetrics.org/1findr/ With best wishes, Brooke Brooke Struck, Ph.D. Senior Policy Officer | Spécialiste des politiques Science-Metrix 1335, Mont-Royal E Montréal, QC H2J 1Y6 Canada T. 1.514.495.6505 x.117 T. 1.800.994.4761 x.117 F. 1.514.495.6523 [email protected] www.science-metrix.com _______________________________________________ GOAL mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/goal
