HistCite Citation Analysis Software

Transferred from: Fan Spring and Autumn

 Endnote can be used to collect and manage documents. If you want to find the development context of the field, lock important documents in the field, lock the Daniel in the field, and gain insight into the latest developments in the field, the citation analysis software HistCite is still necessary. After trying this software recently, I feel that it is indeed very powerful. The following is an example of the effect of importing the software.

   It can achieve various sorting display, such as sorting by country

   Therefore, if you sort by authors, you can find the experts in the field, and sort by the number of quotes to find the important documents in the field. by time, you can gain insight into the latest developments in the field.

   Of course, its most important function is to create a citation chart, as shown below:

   From this figure, you can clearly see the reference relationship between documents, so that you can clearly understand the development context of the field and determine the value of many documents, for example, the most advanced document should be a groundbreaking document. Five years later, it has developed many research directions, 211 of 97 years, 241 of 98 years, and 346 of 02 years are comprehensive articles, this information will greatly help you understand the development trend in the field, and explore the breakthrough in this field.

 

  Another useful feature is sorting by Cited References.

   This article lists all the documents that have previously been imported that reference the most. This is definitely a very important document, mainly including black, blue, and blue links in the list, indicates that you have imported this document, and black indicates that you have not imported this document, that is, the document is missing. For missing documents, the plus sign indicates that missing documents are manually added. WOS can be linked to the WOS database to search for documents.

   However, one problem found was that WOS could not search for documents normally and there seemed to be no related solutions on the Internet. So I checked histcite's help to solve the problem and shared the solution:

   Click setting... under the Tools menu ..., find the WOS link settings. The default setting is universal setup. This is a general setting and may not apply to our situation. In this case, you can use mannual setup version 4, then, enter the citation search link in the ISI Web of Knowledge 4 Location URL:, which can be found as follows:

   Enter webofknodgdgev4.com/in the address bar of the browser, enter the wok V4 database interface, enter the web of science database, and click the cited references for retrieval, as shown in figure

  Copy the link of the webpage, as shown in figure

Http://apps.webofknowledgev4.com/WOS_CitedReferenceSearch_input.do? Product = WOS & SID = 2C4MPfeoE2aJhFF4Di5 & search_mode = CitedReferenceSearch

  That is, the link to be searched (it must end with CitedReferenceSearch), paste it into the text box of ISI Web of Knowledge 4 location URL:, and click Set. In this way, you can click WoS to automatically find the missing documents. If you click WoS, the following page appears:

  Information about missing documents is automatically filled in the corresponding input box. Click search to start searching for documents.

  The software requires that you specify the WoS v4 citation search URL and try the latest v5.5 URL, as shown in

Http://apps.webofknowledge.com/WOS_CitedReferenceSearch_input.do? Product = WOS & SID = 2Ap17oE5OdN7ILhfmcK & search_mode = CitedReferenceSearch

  Find the missing document and click View record to enter the current record. on this page, you can mark the result and click the first icon to add the tag list. This will mark all the missing documents, then, export the text in a centralized manner and import it to HistCite.
