EB1-OR Citation query

Hello,

I am planning to apply for GC under EB1-OR category. Can anyone tell me whether the total number of citations is only for my work being referenced in journal publications or can I also count for conference proceedings, dissertations, etc. as well.

Thanks.
 
As far as I know, citations include publications as well as conference proceedings, dissertations, book chapters etc.

Could you let me know how to obtain an up-to-date citation index? A google search does'nt necessarily pick up all journal citations.

Thanks.
 
I searched all the journals which are published in my field. Yes google doesnt pull up all records.
 
Use SciFinder for your search. USCIS has complained on numerous times that "unofficial" search engines like Google has been used.
 
This is what I would do:

1) Use SCISearch to find all the citations on SCI journals, not matter how your name is spelt.
2) Find the non-SCI citations

if SCI citations are much higher than non-SCI (I only knew two non-SCI citations), you can put them together. However, if you have a lot of non-SCI citations, you'd better separate them or at least use some symbols to indicate the non-SCIs.

I did not include citations in dissertations and conference proceedings, but I think you can include them, too.

Here is the format I would do:

Complete List of Citations of Dr. XXXXX's work

Part 1. Sci citations
papers which cite XXXXX's paper 1
papers which cite XXXXX's paper 2
......
Part 2. Dissertation citations
Dissertations which cite XXXXX's paper 1
Dissertations which cite XXXXX's paper 2
......
Part 3. Conference proceeding citations
....

Also, for each citation, give it a sequence number to show the total citation you have got.

Good Luck

Iris

My field is computer science and ACM portal pretty much picks up
all citations and makes a good summary for most of publications.
IEEE digital library also has a good search engine to do it by yourself.
These are free if you use public libraries like the ones in universities.

Some recent citations made in 2005 or late 2004 will be missed from them.
They also miss some citations I found by myself but it's not worth of time
spent. I mean it's not worthwhile to spend many hours to find one more
possiby obscure citations....
