• To learn more about a field or a topic by identifying seminal works in that area.
• To determine what impact a particular author has had within his/her own discipline and beyond by looking at his/her total number of citations broken down by discipline and by country.
• For hiring, or promotion and tenure purposes by looking at the quality of sources where a scholar’s work has been published and cited
