    Abstract
    Die empirische Wissenschaftsforschung arbeitet bei den Indikatoren wissenschaftlicher Leistung und wissenschaftlicher Wirkung mit Publikations- und Zitationsraten. Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit dabei auftretenden methodischen Problemen. Was ist überhaupt eine Publikation? Was heißt Zitation? Zentral ist auch die Zählbasis, d.h. die Einheitenbildung: Was ist 1 Publikation? und: Was ist 1 Zitation? Bei Printpublikationen gibt es eine Reihe von beachtenswerten Faktoren (u.a. Mehrautorenwerke, Gewichtungsfaktoren wie den Impact Factor, Dokumenttypen). Bei elektronischen Publikationen im Internet mit ihrem dynamischen Charakter ist die Einheitenbildung noch weitaus problematischer. Zitationen, verstanden als zitierte Publikationen, werfen alle methodischen Probleme der Publikationseinheiten auf, hinzu kommen weitere, spezifische Probleme. Lösungsmöglichkeiten im syntaktischen Bereich (Relativierung auf Textseiten oder Zeichen) ändern am grundlegenden Problem nur wenig, Lösungsversuche im semantischen Bereich (etwa im Rahmen der semantischen Informationstheorie) sind im Rahmen der Publikations- und Zitationsanalysen nicht durchführbar und verweisen sowohl auf themenanalytische Methoden als auch auf die Wissenschaftstheorie. Mit diesem Working Paper wollen wir vor allem auf offene Probleme hinweisen; "endgültige" Lösungen wird der Leser nicht finden, wohl aber Lösungsvorschläge, die meist durchaus noch diskussionswürdig sind. In der Informationswissenschaft wie in der Wissenschaftsforschung sind wir bisher viel zu sicher davon ausgegangen, daß wir wissen, was Publikationen und Zitationen sind

    Abstract
    Evaluation ist an der Medizinischen Universität Wien ein wichtiges Thema. So werden die Ressourcen innerhalb der Universität entsprechend der in den Leistungskriterien definierten Bewertungsmethode verteilt, deren Grundlage ein für jeden Fachbereich eigens berechneter normierter Impact Factor darstellt. Wissenschaftliche Leistung kann aber auch auf andere Art gemessen werden. Innerhalb einer Universitätsklinik oder Forschungsgruppe werden die Publikationen der wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter mittels Zitierungsanalyse bewertet. Für eine Bewerbung auf bestimmte Stellen müssen die einzelnen Wissenschaftler jeweils aktuelle Zitierungsanalysen vorlegen. Seit 2005 stellt die Universitätsbibliothek der Medizinischen Universität Wien am Campus die Datenbank Scopus zur Verfügung. Dabei handelt es sich nicht nur um eine weitere naturwissenschaftliche Literaturdatenbank, sondern um ein Konkurrenzprodukt zum Web of Science, dessen Schwerpunkt in der Suche der Referenzfelder liegt und so die Beantwortung der Fragestellung, wie oft eine wissenschaftliche Publikation zitiert wird, ermöglicht. Im seltenen Idealfall liegt eine vollständige Publikationsliste vor, von der ausgehend man eine Zitierungsanalyse starten kann. Meist aber besteht der Wunsch, nur anhand eines Autorennamens und dem Wissen, in welchem Fachgebiet jemand wissenschaftlich tätig ist, rasch die Suche nach Zitierungen zu beginnen. Im Web of Science führt der Weg über eine Cited Reference Search zu einem Cited Reference Index, aus dem man die Zitierzahlen (Times Cited) zu den einzelnen Publikationen eines Autors entnehmen kann. Als Cited Author scheinen neben dem Erstautor auch alle Mitautoren auf, vorausgesetzt die Zitierung bezieht sich auf eine Publikation, die als Source Item im Web of Science in dem Zeitraum erscheint, der für die Institution subskribiert wurde. Abschließend müssen die einzelnen Zitierzahlen eigenhändig addiert werden und ergeben so die Gesamtzahl der Zitierungen für einen bestimmten Autor. In Scopus wird nach einer Autorensuche ein Document Citation Overview geboten, der die Publikationen nach Erscheinungsjahr gereiht auflistet und gleichzeitig in einer Übersichtstabelle die Zitierzahlen pro Publikation und Jahr sowie die jeweiligen Gesamtzahlen angibt.
