Bibliographic databases: some critical points
Journal Title: European Science Editing - Year 2012, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
Current flow of information necessitates a systematic approach to what authors, reviewers and editors read and and use as references. The objectivity of communication is increasingly dependent on a comprehensive literature search through online databases. Academic institutions wishing to succeed in the global competition secure access to the prestigious databases and archives. Journal editors strive to improve the indexing potential of their journals by adhering to the selection criteria of bibliographic databases and by getting access to networking sites.
