Abstract:
The Open Access movement comprises many complementary initiatives, including digital
scholarly journals, discipline-specific e-print servers, institutional repositories, and
author self-archiving. Researchers are extensively using these repositories to publish
their research outputs. Bibliographic control of scholarly literature of commercial publications
is mostly available in the form of Abstracting, Indexing and Citation sources. But
in the similar way for the open access publications it not the same case. Bibliographic
control of open access e-resources is a major issue. The rapid growth of scholarly
information resources available in electronic form and their organisation by digital libraries
is proving fertile ground for the development of sophisticated new services, of
which citation linking will be one indispensable example. Many new projects, partnerships
and commercial agreements have been announced to build citation linking applications.
Authors made an effort in this paper to articulate few bibliographic and citation
resources.
