Description: The UB Libraries subscribe to dozens of individual resources that list publications from talented UB faculty and researchers. Collectively, these resources provide a compelling look at your publications, and may be of value when assembling materials for promotion and tenure consideration. This one and a half hour lecture will give you insight into tools such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Journal Citation Reports, so that you can better understand the contribution your research has made to the scientific literature. Furthermore, the lecture will address the quantifiable citation advantages of publishing in open access journals.
