[…] Google Scholar counts citations from pretty much anywhere they can find them. That means their citation count often includes citations from online undergraduate papers, slides, white papers and similar sources. Because of this, Google scholar citation counts are much higher than those from competitors like Scopus and Web of Science. […]

Comment on Lab notebooks, lab websites, the future. by mickelsp

The university I am at provides the infrastructure to run Wikis. We started one using the university infrastructure in the optics/physics lab where I’m a post-doc about two years ago, and we’ve used the Wiki as a complement to a physical lab notebook. We describe procedures, “solved” problems, keep logs of regularly checked laser powers, etc… We have also posted plots and images, as well as posted data there, but that has been less common.

If I had my druthers (i.e. my own lab), I would make the Wiki the only place that such things exist (easy copies, a university-supported back up system, access to whomever we wish, searchable, change logs, etc…), but the main disadvantage of a Wiki is that you can’t just start writing like with a physical notebook. Maybe having a tablet that interfaces with the Wiki, and is effectively the lab notebook, would make things easier to update in real time, especially if you could keep from being auto-logged out of the Wiki.
