eResources - Database - Dimensions

Dear all,

A new citation database called Dimensions launched a few weeks ago, which could be an alternative to Web of Science or Scopus.

For those of us who don't have access to those products, Dimensions runs on a freemium model, allowing anyone to utilize basic functions while its owners hope that organizations and universities pay for higher level functionality and support.

Users in the free version should find the functionality much like other citation databases, being able to search by subject keywords, journal title, author name and, say, university name.

The free version of this tool could be very helpful to researchers: helping find the names of journals publishing in specific disciplines (and the quality of those journals), providing papers/ citations in those disciplines and maybe even potential collaborators.  Those paying for the premium version would also be able to get information on grants, clinical trials and patents - and presumably more metric tools.

Here is the link for the Dimensions site: https://www.dimensions.ai/

Dimensions has a lot more tools.  Here are a few stories that explain them.
