Information solutions provider Thomson Scientific, part of Thomson Corporation, US, has announced the launch of its Citation Impact Forum. The Citation Impact Forum is an online forum promoting scholarly discussion about all facets of citation-based research evaluation - from Thomson Scientific's own influential Journal Impact Factor to emerging citation metrics, such as the h-index.
The Citation Impact Forum will feature interviews with and commentary from industry leaders - bibliometricians, researchers and publishers - about scholarly evaluation. By becoming a registered member of the Forum, users will have the added ability to join invitation only forums where they can participate in discussions by sharing their own thoughts with other members. Registered members can also recommend future Forum discussion topics.
Thomson Scientific will also use the Forum to address inaccuracies and common misinterpretations circulating among the scientific community, printed in journals, blogs and other forums.
