Citation indexes for mathematical physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on identifying citation indexes for articles in mathematical physics. Key tools mentioned include Google Scholar, CiteSeer, and arXiv, which provide functionalities to track citations of specific articles. The conversation highlights the impact of the University of Southampton fire on the development of the Citebase search tool, while emphasizing the growing importance of arXiv as a resource for citation tracking in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with citation indexing tools like Google Scholar and CiteSeer
  • Understanding of arXiv eprints and their citation features
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical physics literature
  • Awareness of the impact of academic resource developments, such as Citebase
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced features of Google Scholar for citation tracking
  • Investigate the functionalities of CiteSeer for academic research
  • Learn how to effectively use arXiv for tracking citations in mathematical physics
  • Research the historical context and current status of Citebase and its alternatives
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in mathematical physics, academic librarians, and anyone involved in tracking citations and literature reviews in scientific publications.

Hi all,
given an article in mathematical physics, is there a way to know in
which articles it has been cited in the literature?
Thanks

Increasingly, the answer is "yes"! Try

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/

Unfortunately, it seems that the University of Southampton suffered a
devasting fire, which has apparently retarded the development of the very
promising Citebase search tool, but see

The "abstract" page of arXiv eprints allows you to quickly see what papers
are cited by a given eprints, and for older eprints you can see what later
eprints cite that one you are interested in evaluating. Since the arXiv
is becoming the universal journal, this should be a good way to check for
citations after another decade or so. Long live the arXiv! (At least if
it can continue to maintain a -relatively- crankfree author field...)
