Databases

Citebase
Citebase Search is a semi-autonomous citation index for the free, online research literature. It harvests pre- and post- prints (most author self-archived) from OAI-PMH compliant archives, parses and links their references and indexes the metadata in a search engine. Citebase contains articles from physics, maths, information science, and (published only) biomedical papers. Citebase's coverage and capabilities are based: (1) only on those citing and cited papers that their authors have already archived in the source eprint archives, (2) only on those of the cited papers that can currently be successfully linked, (3) and, for arXiv, for now, on the usage/hit data for its UK-site only. The literature available online is growing daily, but it is still only a tiny subset of the total current research literature across disciplines.
