The reliability of scientific sources

Constantly, scientific articles are selected and evaluated for the data bases. However, just
few articles and just few data bases are considerate reliable.
Here we make reference at those scientific professional papers which are ISI rated
(Institute of Scientific Information). A journal which is rated ISI, is a journal for which is
calculated the impact factor and published it in Journal Citation Reports. A panel of experts
examines every scientific journal, track multiple factors such as: the article content, the
international recognition of authors who have published the article, the type of the article’s
readers and others. If the article is rated as professional/scientific, it will be indexed in ISI data
base. ISI network is reliable and very important because here we can find potential collaborators
with significant scientific activity in a field . Also, the articles from ISI base are reliable
information sources for others articles.
We can consider a book as re liable if it’s published by an internationally recognized
publisher .
Another criterion for considering reliable a source is the BDI (international data bases)
indexing. Examples of international data bases: www.sprig er.com , www.science -direct.com ,
www.oxfordjournals.org , and others.
Thus, to determine the confidence of a scientific / professional source , we must consider the
following criteria :
 ISI index
 BDI index
 The type of the article’s readers
 The number of the article’s readers
 The number of the view’s articles
 The international gratitude of the author
 The national/international author’s awards, and others.
