*************************
INTRODUCTION
I am Mani,
Research Scholar, LIS, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli. Under
the guidance of Dr.A.Thirumagal, Librarian, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University,
Tirunelveli. In connection to that, it’s
my great pleasure to share the following information which can have a great
impact among the research community.
The
following are some of the important Citation and Scholarly databases for
Academic Professionals and Researchers to connect with the likely minded people
and to create an impact on your scholarly productivity.
1.
Vidwan Expert Database (https://vidwan.inflibnet.ac.in/)
VIDWAN is the premier database of
profiles of scientists / researchers and other faculty members working at
leading academic institutions and other R & D organisation involved in
teaching and research in India. It provides important information about
expert's background, contact address, experience, scholarly publications,
skills and accomplishments, researcher identity, etc. The database developed
and maintained by Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET) with
financial support from the National Mission on Education through ICT (NME-ICT).
The database would be instrumental in selection of panels of experts for
various committees, taskforce, established by the Ministries / Govt.
establishments for monitoring and evaluation purposes.
Who Can Join?
Post-Graduate / Doctorate Degree in Their
Respective Subject with 15 Years of Professional Experience. National /
International Awardees and Citation Laureates /Associate Professor / Professor
/ Senior Scientist or Equivalent Positions In Teaching & Research.
Need of Vidwan:

via automatic update also integrates with ORCID, Researcher ID, Google Scholar
ID, etc.
Institutions / Organisation:
Institutions / Organisation:

for committees, expert panels and project proposals.
v Identify funding
opportunities and associated experts.
v Identify areas
of intensive research activities.
v Visualise
research activities within an organisation.
ORCID is a non-profit
helping create a world in which all who participate in research, scholarship
and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions and
affiliations, across disciplines, borders, and time. ORCID provides a
persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other
researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as
manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and
your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognized.

Research Gate is a social networking site for scientists and researchersto share papers,
ask and answer questions, and find collaborators. According to a study by Nature and an article in Times Higher Education, it is the largest academic social network in terms
of active users, although other services have more registered users and more
recent data suggests that almost as many academics have Google Scholar profiles.
ResearcherID provides a
solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research
community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to
manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index,
identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification. In
addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you
to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account. Search the
registry to find collaborators, review publication lists and explore how
research is used around the world!
Scopus is the
largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific
journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview
of the world's research output in the fields of science,
technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities,
Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize
research.
As research becomes increasingly
global, interdisciplinary and collaborative, you can make sure that critical
research from around the world is not missed when you choose Scopus.
Google Scholar is a freely
accessible web search engine that indexes the full text or metadata of scholarly
literature across an array of
publishing formats and disciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the Google Scholar index includes
most peer reviewed online academic
journals and books, conferencepapers, theses and dissertations, preprints, abstracts, technical reports, and other scholarly literature, including court opinions and patents
Academic Room is a great example of the transition
from open content to open communities in the open education space. Sites like
Academic Room will support the free flow of ideas in ways never possible
before.
Through LinkedIn we can
enlarge our professional knowledge and friendship.
9. Personal Website & Blog (Ex.Webnode,
Weebly, Google site, etc.,)
Every Academician may have an own website to
exhibit their talents and achievements through this. Nowadays there are lot of
free portals are available.
10. Social Networks Membership (Ex. Facbook,
Twitter,)
The Social Networking Websites help us
to express our opinion about various issues.
