Three New Web Reference Tool Reviews from Dr. Peter Jacso

+ Pop Culture Universe: Icons Idols Ideas

Very current, and rich content about every topical –if not regional- aspect of the pop culture universe ranging from pop arts and entertainment to pop couture and cuisine through the digital aggregation of 360 print ready-reference sources on the subject. The use of the advanced search mode requires caution because distinct data elements offered for filtering the search (country, time period) are absent in many records.

+ SCImago Country Rank Database

In spite of some content limitations, this exceptionally well-designed open-access component of the SCImago Journal & Country Rank database is an outstanding source for bibliometric, scientiometric and informetric research about scientific publishing productivity and impact of nations.

+ Information Please Almanac

Among all the mainstream almanacs this is by far the most comprehensive and the most current since it is continuously updated. The impressively smart software brings the best out of the rich content. It sweetens the deal that it is free, although you pay a price by enduring appalling Web ads – familiar from commercial television.
