LINKS & DEEP THOUGHTS
• “All the world’s a stage” - All the WWW is a linkfest
• “Money makes the world go round”
• Links make the money flow and the world go faster
• Mo’ links mo’ better, mo’ faster? – scamsters’ heaven
• “Not all that shines is gold” – not all that blue is link
• Most scholarly publishers, I/A, aggregator services
learned much from e-commerce linking, but …
• …diagnosis: from link-anorexia to link-obesity
• The good, the bad, the ugly and the dysfunctional
Jacsó
What Amazon et al. taught us
Model for rusty library OPACs in browsing,
searching, + LINKING for
• reviews from quality sources
• publisher blurbs, synopses
• sales ranking, bestseller-lists
• TOCs, BoB indexes, LiB, SiB, first chapters
• other works - by AU, by genre, subject
• price comparison/alternatives (doc delivery, anyone?)
• aggregate review consensus sites (MetaCritic, RT)

THE BEST & THE REST
free/subscribed bib-cits, abstract, FT databases
OAI pre-, re-, e-print & publishers’ archives, Scirus
• cited, citing, related items, citation analysis in
Scitation, arXiv, CiteSeer, CiteBase, ParaCite
WoS & beyond CSA, EBSCO, Scopus
• journal coverage in Jake, Ulrich’s, Ebsco TSD –caution
• download top lists (Annual Reviews, Elsevier CS, etc.)
• WorldCat member libraries holding stats
• JCR ranking WITHIN category
• Still – some remain linkless and clueless

SCHOLARLY LINKS
Linking ≈ citing - refs/cites are THE primary links
• User experience is very much database & host-dependent
• PsycARTICLES – CSA, Ebsco, OCLC, Ovid, Dialog
• Essential, useful & blah links – healthy mix
• Take user to citing/cited/related items (bibcit, abstract, FT)
• Give clue to user about impact of item/journal
• Take user to other works - by AU, by DE, in JN
• Maybe take user to journal/publisher site, e-mail
• Unforgiving syntax rules due to link resolving by SW
Jacsó
LINK TYPES by purpose
• Primary functional link (FT)
• Secondary functional link (abstract)
• Tertiary functional link (bibcit)
• Primary enhancer link (citing/cited by)
• Secondary enhancer link (indirect clout indicator)
• Blarney, baloney, eyewash links
• Yes, I know: different folks, different strokes
• Room amenity: T-1 connection vs. ironing boardJacsó

# 1 ScenarioThe conservative, linkless record
Jacsó
Bare minimum record in native PubMed but there are more links than meet the eye
Jacsó
which shows an other directly related record
Jacsó
This is the other commentary on Adair and Vohra's article
Jacsó
Related articles listing is triggered by a small javascript-link on PubMed
Links to subject-wise related records
Jacsó
Link to Ovid is chosen (if you subscribe)
Jacsó
Finds the full record in
Journals@OvidNice intra-record
links and option links
Jacsó
but having only navigational links (except for the link to an open access journal Current Research in Social Psychology(CRISP) is not enough)
Jacsó
You may continue in Ovid to explore other articles on self-citation
Jacsó
and find 43, many of them ALSO available as open access journals in case you don’t subscribe to all ☺
Jacsó
which is easy to Google even without guidance, and the link will take you
Jacsó
to PMC with a link to FT …
Jacsó
… of the article which has many extra link options(alert request, insta-comment)
Jacsó
and you can make a search in CMAJ on the broader topic
Jacsó
finding an article by Garfield with cited/citing references, of course
Jacsó
most of which are hotlinked not just listed
Jacsó
and the citing ones has links to many open access articles
Jacsó
except for AJR and JCP which, however, offer the article for $8 (try this with your Doc Delivery agency)
Jacsó
Who Does What?
• Author: explores literature/decides target links -can be limited due to modest access
• Referee: approves/disapproves links - can be less or more limited than author
• Publisher: decides linking tool, format, style
• Aggregator: ignores, implements existing links & creates additional links
• User: activates and (re-) creates links
Subscription-based vs. toll free target
Link-resolver endowed vs. pedestrian users

# 2 scenarioIf you start in H.W. Wilson’s OmniFile
and General Science FT
Jacsó
you get the traditional I/A record with jumpstart link for AU, SU, and ToC search and then some
Jacsó
this is a jumpstart subject search using the hotlinked Citation analysis descriptor
Jacsó
but you change your mind and want to explore the WilsonLinks
which can run your query in paid and open access sources for the item using the title field (more or less)
Say, you want to try EBSCO ASP
Jacsó
It does not have FT for the Anseel articlebut it has LINKS to 9 cited references
Jacsó
so you look at the record and find a link to your library
Jacsó
which shows that the 2004 January issue is in - but in Hilo
Jacsó
Try this?
You are not authorized . You store it in your mind for later check-out
Jacsó
Return to the EBSCO record to display the cited referencesNotice link to Nature article in FT
spot most cited item (#5) by Gottfredson
Jacsó
You look up the 6 related items which cite Gottfredson in Anseel’s cited references
You spot an article which has 216 cited references, another which was cited 5 times (in journals covered by ASP)
Jacsó
you glance at the one cited 5 times, but don’t click
Jacsó
rather step back to look at the FT version of the Nature article
Jacsó
in all its glory
Jacsó
Then you remember that you do have access to PsycARTICLES as a spoiled reviewer, both from OCLC and from CSA.
OCLC shows links to two FT formats, and the record is smartly enhanced by WorldCat's information about how many member
libraries (2,161) has or had subscription to the journal.
Jacsó
While you are at OCLC you look up in WorldCat the journal’s standing among the psychology periodicals held by OCLC member libraries.
You find that it is the top ranked journal in its league
Jacsó
then you switch over smoothly to CSASelect both PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES and type the query (poor you)
Jacsó
It links to both a HTML and PDF version. Some of the cited references also have full-text links (of APA journals) and abstract links (to PsycINFO records). They
also link to and show cited by figures (within PsycINFO).
Jacsó
You don't understand why the first cited item (Adair) does not have full text and cited by value. Notice this cited by value
Because APA gave it a wrong title, explosion knowledge not explosion of knowledge. Not even CSA's smart parser can make the match.
Getting suspicious, you check the Gottfredson citation and realize that its publication year is 1995 instead of 1978, and know that such sloppiness by APA will cause problem even if the date is correct in the original article, as well as in PsycINFO (that's why it did have "cited by" data).The metadata is wrong "only" inPsycARTICLES.
Jacsó
In Dialog’s implementation of PsycINFO you don’t need to worry about the typos in the year, the title, and about their consequences on the links –‘cause Dialog has no intra-database links, let alone interdatabase links (to ISI databases, for example, which are also hosted by Dialog)
Jacsó
This citation mystery whetted your appetite for checking out the Web of Science (WoS) of ISI to see its cited and citing data. The cited
number is familiar ….
Jacsó
Link buttons
…. And the details rhyme with what you saw before. Six of them have links to the records in WoS. And when you click on the link to see
Gottfredson citedness …
Jacsó
the citedness figure is much higher than in ASP or PsycINFO, because ISI's breadth of citation indexing is much broader and wider
Jacsó
While in WoS you take a cursory look at the PsycINFO implementation in WoS as it is only a quick link away, then you go to the link to look up the
standing of American Psychologist in the Journal Citation Reports,
Jacsó
and click on the JCR link button to find out what is the impact factor of American Psychologist
Jacsó
even though you have access only to an earlier edition, the link to its 5-year citation trends
Jacsó
It Is quite telling in and by itself
but the Impact Factor is put in the best perspective when you see how it stands among the 105 journals in the same JCR category of General Psychology, at a very close second behind Psychological Bulletin
