Academic papers are of great significance in terms of graduation, job title evaluation, research guarantee, doctoral examination, and study abroad, so it is often necessary to issue a search certificate. However, the premise of issuing a retrieval certificate is that the paper must be included.
1. What is the paper collection and citation certificate
The proof of inclusion and citation of the paper is used to prove the strength and achievements of the author in the field of scientific research. When users need to inquire about the indexing and citation of their papers in the designated database, we will search according to their entrustment and issue a search certificate with official seal to ensure the reliability and authority of the certificate.
2. I need to issue a paper citation certificate, where can I get it?
Research professors, students, teachers, and teaching and research personnel can go to university libraries (generally only key university libraries are eligible) to consult literature and materials. Other scientific research units can go to the "Municipal Scientific Research Information Center/Literature Information Information Center" to obtain the required information.
In addition, you can go to an authoritative database institution such as Zhangqiao Research Institute to issue a paper citation report https://www.zhangqiaokeyan.com/shouluyinzheng/. The report on the inclusion and citation of Zhangqiao scientific research papers is issued by the Southwest Information Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology (formerly the Chongqing Branch of the Institute of Scientific and Technological Information of China). The Novelty Search Center of the Southwest Information Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, formerly known as the Documentation Service Center of the Chongqing Branch of the China Institute of Scientific and Technological Information, is a first-level scientific and technological novelty search consulting unit awarded by the former State Science and Technology Commission. The executive director of the competitive intelligence branch, so users can use it with confidence.
Its service has the following advantages: 1. The time is fast, and it can be issued within 24 hours on a working day without rushing. 2. The report is issued by the national first-level novelty search unit, supported by database index entries and reference data, and affixed with a special seal. 3. The invoice supports electronic invoice and paper invoice.
3. Which library should I apply for and issue a reference certificate?
According to the subject category of the paper, the applicable databases for the paper search are as follows:
(1) Natural science - foreign language papers apply:
Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) American Science Citation Index
Conference Proceedings Index - CPCI-S (Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science) is an academic database published by Clarivate Analytics (formerly known as Thomson Reuters). It covers the proceedings of academic conferences worldwide, providing access to the citation index of these proceedings and the full text of conference proceedings. CPCI-S is an important tool that can be used to assess the influence and trends of academic conferences and fields.
Ei Compendex (American Engineering Index)
(2) For natural science-Chinese papers:
Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD)
(3) For social sciences - foreign language papers:
Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) American Social Sciences Citation Index
Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) American Art and Humanities Citation Index
(4) For social sciences - Chinese papers:
CSSCI refers to the Chinese Social Science Citation Index, which is an important academic document retrieval tool launched by CNKI. The index covers important journals and academic papers in the field of social sciences at home and abroad, brings together a large number of high-quality academic literature resources, and provides scholars with a convenient and fast academic information retrieval platform. The launch of CSSCI has played a positive role in promoting the development of China's social sciences, improving the international status of China's social science research, and promoting the international dissemination of Chinese academic culture.
National People's Congress Copied Newspapers and Periodicals (Full-text Database)
If the paper is not included in SCI/SSCI, you can search for the journal division.
(5) The periodical division applies:
Chinese Academy of Sciences Document Information Center Periodical Division Table (Chinese Academy of Sciences Periodical Division Table)
JCR (Journal Citation Report)
4. I don't know which database the paper is included in, and I don't know how to search it?
SCI, SSCI, AHCI, CPCI go to WOS official website to inquire;
EI goes to Engineering Village to inquire;
CSCD Go to CSCD official website to inquire;
CSSCI to CSSCI official website query;
People's University Copy Newspapers and Periodicals Information Go to People's University Copy Newspapers and Periodicals Information (Full-text Database) for inquiries.
(The more detailed retrieval steps or methods of each database will be introduced in detail in the subsequent article sharing)
In addition, if we want to search several databases at the same time, we can use the Zhangqiao scientific research mentioned above https://www.zhangqiaokeyan.com/shouluyinzheng/
The search covers a large number of databases, and the search efficiency is extremely high.
5. The SCI paper has just been published, can you provide a "Certificate of Inclusion and Citation" for the paper?
The thesis has just been launched, and it is necessary to wait for the inclusion of authoritative databases such as SCI before proceeding to the proof of the citation of the thesis. In addition, readers can also inquire with the material receiving unit whether to accept the "Journal Partition Certificate" as evidence.
6. Which databases can issue a "periodical partition certificate" for papers in which databases?
- Foreign language papers in the natural sciences can be certified by using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI) in the American Science Citation Index database. The database can provide proofs of JCR journal divisions (including journal impact factors and divisions) and Chinese Academy of Sciences journal divisions (including size category divisions and TOP journal information).
- The social science citation index database for foreign language papers is SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index), which can provide proof of JCR journal division, including journal impact factor and division information.
7. Which databases can issue "Certificate of Citation"?
SCI, SSCI, A&HCI, CSSCI, and CSCD can all issue reference certificates.
8. Can a certificate of highly cited papers or hot papers be issued?
Can. Highly cited papers or hot papers will be marked in the paper collection and citation certificate.
Highly Cited Papers (Highly Cited Papers) refer to the papers whose citations rank in the top 1% of the field during the ESI statistical period of the same subject. These papers have high influence and importance in academia, and are usually written by senior scientific research professors or research teams with extensive experience in the field. Through the analysis and research of these papers, we can gain an in-depth understanding of the latest developments and research directions in this field, and provide important references and guidance for subsequent research.
Hot papers refer to the papers published in the last two years and ranked among the top 0.1% of the world in the number of citations in the last two months according to ESI subject statistics.
Since the ESI database is updated every 2 months, the data of the previous period can no longer be seen after the update.
9. After submitting the application for the paper acceptance and citation certificate, when can I get the certificate?
Usually completed within 3-5 working days. The report is an electronic report, please pay attention to check your email in time.
10. Why did I check the inclusion in Web of Science, but it was not included in the certificate?
Web of Science is a general database platform, which includes multiple sub-databases. The five sub-databases of SCI, SSCI, A&HCI, CPCI and CSCD are the content issued by the paper collection and citation certificate in the WOS general database platform. When searching and collecting, one of the sub-libraries must be selected to correctly retrieve the corresponding database content.
