Comparison of efficiency of bibliographic databases for biochemical problems
Frantíková, Dagmar ; Hudeček, Jiří (advisor) ; Hodek, Petr (referee)
The study presents a comparison between four bibliographic databases widely used in biochemistry: paid SCOPUS and Web of Science and free-accessible MEDLINE and Google Scholar. Their efficacy and suitability for solving biochemical problems was evaluated. Three model problems were chosen and entered to databases: "ellipticine", "Lowry method" and "serine racemase". The located articles in each database were then sorted by their relevance. The best results were obtained with the SCOPUS database (highest proportion of relevant results; thus database has at the same time user-friendly interface). Very good was also free MEDLINE database and if paid databases are unavailable, MEDLINE would be the right option. The best results were found with a combination of both above named databases. Also database Web of Science gave good and relevant results but was not as useful as SCOPUS or MEDLINE. The worst results in this study was given by the database Google Scholar. It would be recommended for searches of basic, not so specific problems. This database locates many articles but with questionnable proportion of relevant articles - and these have to be found manually, which would be time-consuming. Thesis in Czech.

Search and evaluation of scientific journals in the field of information systems
Votruba, Tomáš ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šebesta, Michal (referee)
This work is devoted to a search of scientific journals for the Department of Information Technologies Faculty of Informatics and Statistics at the University of Economics in Pra-gue. Using three established methods I seek out and evaluate scientific journals, which concern the same issues as the Department of Information Technologies. Using the first method, the Method of Chipping, I look for the most important and most successful magazines in the field. The other two methods, then seek out magazines that are best suited for publication. The Method of Growing Pearls seeks out magazines on the publication history of the department and using The Search for Keywords, I seek out the magazines with the most common issues as the departure. For search I use electronic information resources of Univesrty of Economics: bibliographic database Scopus, Web of Science and in particular its part Citaton Journal Reports. To ana-lyze the topics dealt with at the Department of Information Technology and similarly using database of publication activity of the University of Economics. Thanks to this work the Department of Information Technology can have a broader view of the world's scientific journals and obtain suitable material for the selection of the magazine in which they can publish.
