7 By ‘individual citation query’ the authors mean here compiling a detailed citation report for one author. In the AGH University Main Library such citation reports are typically prepared on the basis of Web of Science Core Collection Scopus, and BazTech. Citations are searched for with the use of extended functions – ‘Cited Reference Search’ in WoS and “Search/View Secondary Documents (Scopus). A standard report includes the following data: the number of citations and (separately) self-citations of the author’s publications each year, bibliographic descriptions of cited and citing documents, the h-index, the Impact Factor value of journals containing the author’s articles.
