Using Case Studies for Teaching

Cost-based:

Harvard Business Impact Case Studies

Harvard Business Impact (formerly Harvard Business Publishing) has very restrictive rules for using their materials, essentially, it is not permitted for anyone to print, link to, or otherwise share any of their articles or cases for any educational purposes, either in class, on Canvas, via library reserves, or any other method. If you do want to use Harvard Business Review articles or cases in your teaching, you will need to create an Educator's Account there, then create a coursepack of the articles you want that students will have to pay to download. If students access articles or cases through your account, they will be able to download materials at a slightly discounted rate.

Please contact Penny Scott: plscott@usfca.edu for questions about Harvard Business Impact materials.

Scopus
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyze and visualize research.

Comprehensive: Scopus has twice as many titles and over 30% more publishers listed than any other abstract and index (A&I) database, with interdisciplinary content that covers the research spectrum. Timely updates from thousands of peer-reviewed journals, preliminary findings from millions of conference papers, and the thorough analysis in an expanding collection of books ensure you have the most up-to-date and highest quality interdisciplinary content available.

On-Campus Link

Google Scholar Metrics
Google Scholar Metrics provide a way for authors to gauge the visibility and influence of recent articles in scholarly publications. Scholar Metrics summarize recent citations to many publications, to help authors as they consider where to publish their new research.

more... less...

To get started, you can browse the top 100 publications in several languages, ordered by their five-year h-index and h-median metrics. To see which articles in a publication were cited the most and who cited them, click on its h-index number to view the articles as well as the citations underlying the metrics.

You can also explore publications in research areas of your interest. To browse publications in a broad area of research, select one of the areas in the left column. For example: Engineering & Computer Science or Health & Medical Sciences.

To explore specific research areas, select one of the broad areas, click on the "Subcategories" link and then select one of the options. For example: Databases & Information Systems or Development Economics.

Scholar Metrics currently cover articles published between 2014 and 2018, both inclusive. The metrics are based on citations from all articles that were indexed in Google Scholar in July 2019. This also includes citations from articles that are not themselves covered by Scholar Metrics. Overall, Scholar Metrics cover a substantial fraction of scholarly articles published in the last five years. However, they don't currently cover a large number of articles from smaller publications.
Google Scholar Profiles
Describes how to set up a Google Scholar profile for yourself, and reasons why this is good for visibility and impact. To check to see if you already have a Google Scholar profile, search Google Scholar.
