Abstract

The paper is devoted to new citation indexing services which process bibliographic references and citations embodied in scientific documents stored in repositories of free available digital libraries or eprint archives. Especially free available citation services (Citebase Search, CiteSeer, Google Scholar, and other new initiatives) will be characterized and evaluated, but also licenced services (ISI Web Citation Index). Emphasized will be their research impact, namely in comparison with commercial citation services such as ISI WOK, Scopus or CrossRef. A part of paper include information concerning citation linking using OpenURL technology, OAI-PHM protocol and reference metadata according to Dublin Core Metadata Set "Guidelines for Bibliographic Citation Information". In that continuity the requirements to ideal citing and bibliographic rereferces structuring by authors of scientific paper will be introduced.
