Reflection • spatial data infrastructure OR “spatial data Infrastructure” • SDI is the leading term (e.g geospatial, geo-information, etc)
Impact of publications (Web of Science) • Croner, 2003. Public Health, GIS and the Internet cites 38 (2013) 30 (2011) 23 (2010)
Impact of publications (Scopus) • Lutz, M. F. Klien, 2006. Ontology-based retrieval of geographic information cites 77 (2013) 59 (2011) 41 (2010)
Impact of publications (Google Scolar, 2010) • Masser, I, 2005. GIS worlds, creating spatial data infrastructures (book) cited 130 (2011) 105 (2010) • Nebert, D. D. (ed.) (2004) Developing Spatial Data Infrastructures: The SDI Cookbook, GSDI Association [ Cited 279 (2013)
Reflection • Highest impact is not necessarily the most relevant one (GIS and Health paper). • Results of Google Scolar are not so consistent.
Personal Preference (Motivation) • Number of citations • Concrete topics • Relation to own field • Nice name • Authors • Overview publication • ….. • ….
How new is the topic (2013) Web of science: 1991,1992,2002,2004 Scopus: 1979,1986,1988,1989,1991,1993,1997 Google Scolar ?,1990,1991,1992,1997 Google ?,1980,1989,1993,1994
How new is the topic (2013) • Web of science 1991,1987,2002,2010 • Scopus 1983,1989,1991,2002,2010 • Google Scolar ??,1960,1987,1988,1989 • Google ??,1987,1988,1991
Reflection • The SDI topic is about 20 years old • The last 10 is has become a topic of scientific interest • Some changes over the years, e.g. • Before a research it is important to think about how to search for information!
