Citation analysis is currently one of the most widely used metrics for analyzing the scientific contribution in different fields. The Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC) aims at promoting technical cooperation among Muslim scientists and their respected centers based on these theories. It also facilitates the accessibility of knowledge and research contribution among them. This paper aims at revealing some of the outmost features of ISC databases, in order to give a fairly clear view of what it is and what are its products. The paper consists of three major parts. After an introduction about the Islamic World Science Citation Center, the paper deals with major tools and products of ISC. In the third part ISCs' journal Submission system is presented as an automatic means, by which users can upload journals' papers into the respected databases.
Some complementary remarks have been made regarding the current state of ISC and its future plans.
引文分析是目前用于分析不同领域科学贡献的最广泛使用的指标之一。伊斯兰世界科学引文中心(ISC)旨在基于这些理论促进穆斯林科学家及其各自中心之间的技术合作。它还促进了他们之间知识和研究贡献的获取。本文旨在揭示ISC数据库的一些最突出特征,以便对其是什么以及其产品有一个相当清晰的了解。本文由三个主要部分组成。在介绍了伊斯兰世界科学引文中心之后,本文讨论了ISC的主要工具和产品。在第三部分中,介绍了ISC的期刊提交系统,这是一种自动手段,用户可以通过该手段将期刊论文上传到各自的数据库中。
关于ISC的现状及其未来计划,已经提出了一些补充意见。
