Summary

It is envisioned that MyCite would help improve journal quality, increase indexation in universal citation databases and contribute to the enrichment of the corpus of Malaysia’s scholarly content.

The findings may be useful to Malaysian journal publishers to gauge their citedness in MyCite and provide a direction to further improve their quality and ultimately gain indexation status at the national and international level.

It is also envisioned that MyCite would help Malaysian journals to attain more visibility thus increase the citations.

Future

• Collaborate to initiate ASEAN Citation Index.• More coverage to Conferences, books and theses
