Citation analysis of database publications Erhard Rahm and Andreas Thor   View Paper (PDF)   Return to December 2005, Volume 34, Number 4 Abstract We analyze citation frequencies for two main database conferences (SIGMOD, VLDB) and three database journals (TODS, VLDB Journal, Sigmod Record) over 10 years. The citation data is obtained by integrating and cleaning data from DBLP and Google Scholar. Our analysis considers different comparative metrics per publication venue, in particular the total and average number of citations as well as the impact factor which has so far only been considered for journals. We also determine the most cited papers, authors, author institutions and their countries. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
