Hi,

I am trying to working on I-140 petition and found that I need to submit citation record.
I am wondering which one has more weight either web of knowledge or google scholar in terms of citation search.
more citation results came out than web of knowledge. honestly, I would like to use google scholar since it give me approximately 50 more citation than the other.
any suggestion would be appreciated.
 
Use both; don't miss a single citation!

Both have same weight. What really matters is whether these citations are out-of-loop!
 
Thank you guys! I'll try both. here is one more question. Is there way to find out-of loop citation in google scholar or web of knowledge?

many appreciation for response.
 
As far as I know, Google scholar doesn't filter citations to find out-of-loop ones. You can print out the search result pages and use a marker to highlight the papers that are out-of-loop.

Also, you can download use Google's Citations Gadget to calculate your H-Index (this is generally for all citations but it is ok) and attach a screenshot. Hopefully your H-Index is 4+ if you're applying for NIW.
 
Hi, alex90
thank you for your response and suggestion.
H-index is kind of new to me. I got h-index as "6" using the little example box provided by google.
since there is problem to download the google citation gadget, I don't know what is this number means, anyway, Thanks again.
 
Dear Alex

I have also problem to download the h-Index, my h-Index shows me 10, and total citations is 234. I have problem to download or get the those citations.

Thank you
Kris

If your H-Index = x, then it means you have at least "x" papers such that each of them has been cited at least "x" times. It is a method to indicate how your publications are on demand by the research community.

You can take a screenshot of the Google Gadget and attach it with your list of exhibitions, and state the H-Index number in your petition too.

Kris,

It is sufficient to take a screenshot showing your name and H-Index and attach it with your application along with the list of papers cited your publications.
