In this chapter, we present the EVA (Extraction, Validation, and Analysis) project and related results about the use of Google Scholar as web database for calculation of citation indexes in non-bibliometric scientific areas, such as social sciences and humanities. The results of the EVA project are presented on a case-study about the publication records retrieved from Google Scholar for a dataset of Italian academic researchers belonging to non-bibliometric scientific areas. The evaluation results against the Elsevier-Scopus citation database are also discussed.

Abstract

In this chapter, we present the EVA (Extraction, Validation, and Analysis) project and related results about the use of Google Scholar as web database for calculation of citation indexes in non-bibliometric scientific areas, such as social sciences and humanities. The results of the EVA project are presented on a case-study about the publication records retrieved from Google Scholar for a dataset of Italian academic researchers belonging to non-bibliometric scientific areas. The evaluation results against the Elsevier-Scopus citation database are also discussed.
