Few health sciences libraries maintain databases and produce bibliographies of the publications of their institution's faculty. By offering such services, libraries can provide faculty members with a qualitative analysis of where and how their research is cited and its impact in the fields of biomedicine and related health sciences. Journal Citation Reports (JCR), produced by the Institute for Scientific Information, is a powerful tool that provides information on citations appearing in the largest, most frequently used, most cited, and highest-impact journals. This paper discusses the role libraries play in providing information about faculty publications, reviews how JCR is used by libraries, discusses how the Ehrman Medical Library of the New York University Medical Center uses JCR, and makes recommendations for the use of JCR to strengthen the librarian's role in providing information to faculty about the value of their research.
很少有健康科学图书馆维护数据库并编制其机构教员出版物的书目。通过提供此类服务,图书馆可以为教员提供关于其研究被引用的地点和方式及其在生物医学和相关健康科学领域影响的定性分析。科学信息研究所编制的《期刊引证报告》(JCR)是一个强大的工具,它提供了关于出现在最大、最常用、被引用最多和影响最大的期刊上的引文信息。本文讨论了图书馆在提供教员出版物信息方面所起的作用,回顾了图书馆如何使用JCR,讨论了纽约大学医学中心埃尔曼医学图书馆如何使用JCR,并就使用JCR加强图书馆员在向教员提供其研究价值信息方面的作用提出了建议。
