OBJECTIVE(S): Citation tracking is an important method to analyze the scientific impact of journal articles and can be done through Scopus (SC), Google Scholar (GS), or ISI web of knowledge (WOS). In the current study, we analyzed the citations to 2011-2012 articles of Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS) in these three resources.
The relevant data from SC, GS, and WOS official websites. Total number of citations, their overlap and unique citations of these three recourses were evaluated.
WOS and SC covered 100% and GS covered 97% of the IJBMS items. Totally, 37 articles were cited at least once in one of the studied resources. Total number of citations were 20, 30, and 59 in WOS, SC, and GS respectively. Forty citations of GS, 6 citation of SC, and 2 citations of WOS were unique.
Every scientific resource has its own inaccuracies in providing citation analysis information. Citation analysis studies are better to be done each year to correct any inaccuracy as soon as possible. IJBMS has gained considerable scientific attention from wide range of high impact journals and through citation tracking method; this visibility can be traced more thoroughly.
引文追踪是分析期刊文章科学影响力的重要方法，可以通过 Scopus（SC）、Google Scholar（GS）或 ISI web of knowledge（WOS）进行。本研究分析了 2011-2012 年伊朗基础医学科学杂志（IJBMS）在这三个资源中的引文。
从 SC、GS 和 WOS 官方网站获取相关数据。评估这三个资源的总引文数、重叠引文数和独特引文数。
WOS 和 SC 涵盖了 IJBMS 项目的 100%和 97%，GS 涵盖了 97%。在研究的资源中，至少有一篇文章被引用过一次。WOS、SC 和 GS 的总引文数分别为 20、30 和 59。GS 有 40 条独特引文，SC 有 6 条，WOS 有 2 条。
每个科学资源在提供引文分析信息方面都有其不准确之处。最好每年进行引文分析研究，以便尽快纠正任何不准确之处。通过引文追踪方法，IJBMS 受到了广泛的高影响力期刊的关注，这种可见度可以更彻底地追踪。
