Citebase: measuring impact for EPrints archives

[Stevan Harnad]

We would be grateful for feedback from citation analysts concerning
Citebase, a citation-ranked search service. At the moment Citebase
harvests data and references only from papers in the largest OAI archives
(the Phsyics ArXiv and CogPrints), but in future it will also be
harvesting institutional repositories such as EPrints archives.

A Web form provides a short exercise for testing Citebase's principal
features: http://citebase.eprints.org/survey/

The overall purpose of citation-ranking is described in:

http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/viewcolls.html

Citebase, like EPrints http://www.eprints.org/ has been developed as
part of the Open Citation project http://opcit.eprints.org/ funded by
the Joint NSF - JISC International Digital Libraries Research Programme
