PubAdvanced (http://www.biowebspin.com/pubadvanced/) is a new search interface for searching PubMed with
additional features you won’t find via the usual PubMed platform. In particular,
PubAdvanced utilises a citation tool called CitImpact - the score of a given publication determined
via various algorithms and taking into account:
- Journal Impact Factor
- 5-Year Journal Impact Factor
- Eigenfactor score
- Article Influence score
PubAdvanced is open access but does require that you register with the site in order to perform a search. The registration form is quick and simple enough and asks for a few details about your job and geographical location.
Amongst
the various additional search features are the ability to sort publications
from PubMed according to their CitImpact score.
A
search for ((“school of health and related research”) or (scharr)) gave the
exact same number of results in PubMed and PubAdvanced. I also got the same results
when limiting the search by author.
At first
glance PubAdvanced seems to be a useful tool and is certainly worth using if
you are interested in analysing article and journal impact scores.
