2. Citation is the outcome of a process
where the readers are directed to the
referred to document for further information
on a topic or to direct the reader to the
actual authority behind a particular view
finding or method.
3. Robert K. M Metron , Manfred Kochen and
other scholars define citation as intellectual
transactions, formal acknowledgements of
“intellectual debts” to earlier authors.
Citations symbolize the conceptual
association of scientific ideas as recognized
by publishing research authors.
According to H. G. Small, “By the references
they cite in their papers, authors make explicit
linkages between their current research and
prior work in the archive of scientific
literature”.
4. It is the process of indexing the intellectual
transactions by listing both the cited and
citing works.
5. if Paper R contains a bibliographic footnote
using and describing Paper C, then R
contains a reference to C, and C has a
citation from R. The number of references a
paper has is measured by the number of
items in its bibliography as endnotes,
footnotes, etc., while the number of citations a
paper has is found by looking it up [in a]
citation index and seeing how many others
papers mention it."
6. Frank Shephard of USA is the man behind
the concept of citation Index. He produced
the first citation Index in 1873 named as
Frank Shephard’s Citation Index. This
citation index was of immense importance to
the lawyers to prove their points based on
previous arguments. Eugene Garfield was
second scholar who contributed a lot in the
area of citation Indexing. The first “Science
Citation Index” was brought out in 1961 and
“Genetic Citation Index” in 1963.
7. ISI (now part of Thomson Reuters)
publishes the ISI citation indexes in print
and compact disc. They are now generally
accessed through the Web under the
name '' Web of Science'', which is in turn
part of the group of databases in the ''Web
of Knowledge''
8. ISI citation indexes include Science
Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation
Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index.

16. Intellectual work is not needed in
compilation
It is mechanical work as it uses cited and
citing documents
It does not involve terminology
It is not affected by new concepts Article
from different areas are brought together
17. Citation Index dose not satisfy the
exhaustive approach of a user.
It does not specify the relationship
between cited and citing documents.
Some highly important document may be
left to be included in the index.
18. '''Citation Indexing''' is the method of
detecting relationship between documents
through citation. If an author is citing a
particular paper in his/her paper , it can be
expected that these two papers have
some kind of relationship between them as
far as the concept of these papers are
concerned.
