"Drs. Daniel Pauly, director of the Fisheries Centre at UBC and Stergiou (of Aristotle University in Greece), compared WoS and Google Scholar using 114 papers from 11 disciplines from 1925 to 2004. With papers published pre-1990, they found that citation counts were more or less proportional. When Thomson ISI revealed that a paper was cited 10 times as often as another in the same field, Google Scholar usually found the same 10-1 ratio. Surprisingly, for post-1990 papers, the actual number of citations was almost the same."

Can we conclude that this outcome is also relevant for the discipline Medicine?
Another study that reaches some of the same conclusions: http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.IR/0504036
It is good to follow the discussion via http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/googlescholar/archives/023442.html
I am still trying to create and improve the DIGICMB Universe and now they tell me I could also have it as an EMBEDDED Universe INSIDE my own (library) website. Check here the Premium Universe of Le Figaro Newspaper web site called Myfigaro and you will see the Url is: http://www.lefigaro.fr/monfigaro/ . However, Fred Mini , Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Netvibes , in his French blogs adds "for those interested" that these Premium Universe are "Not for Free"... Read more about Premium Universes at the blog called NETVIBER EXPERIENCE. This Premium Universe gives freedom for more customization and advertising. I will get info on how much it costs soon, i hope. Tags: netvibes , universe , premium , rss , personalisation , sharing , publish , library , libraries , api , widgets , feeds , tab s
