Abstract
This study uses citation analysis from two citation tracking 
databases, Google Scholar (GS) and ISI Web of Science, in order to test 
the correlation between them and examine the effect of the number of 
paper versions on citations. The data were retrieved from the Essential 
Science Indicators and Google Scholar for 101 highly cited papers from 
Malaysia in the field of engineering. An equation for estimating the 
citation in ISI based on Google scholar is offered. The results show a 
significant and positive relationship between both citation in Google 
Scholar and ISI Web of Science with the number of versions. This 
relationship is higher between versions and ISI citations (r = 0.395, 
p<0.01) than between versions and Google Scholar citations (r = 
0.315, p<0.01). Free access to data provided by Google Scholar and 
the correlation to get ISI citation which is costly, allow more 
transparency in tenure reviews, funding agency and other science policy,
 to count citations and analyze scholars? performance more precisely.
