4.1.2.04 While it cannot be denied that <strong>the</strong> criticisms <strong>of</strong> Web <strong>of</strong> Science described by<br />

Harzing and van der Wal [2008], along with <strong>the</strong> limits I have found from my own research,<br />

do present <strong>the</strong> possibility <strong>of</strong> biased or incomplete data, <strong>the</strong>re is a significant issue that, it<br />

could be argued, may serve to ameliorate such criticism and limits. This is <strong>the</strong> simple fact<br />

that it is not <strong>the</strong> 2,161 journals in <strong>the</strong> Web <strong>of</strong> Science that are being used as <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> my<br />

research, but <strong>the</strong> 87,060 citations from those 2,161 journals. These citations are not<br />

delimited by <strong>the</strong> exclusions from <strong>the</strong> ISI index on which Web <strong>of</strong> Science is based. Hence<br />

<strong>the</strong> limitations described by Harzing and van der Wal [2008] abo ve may not actually have<br />

such a major impact on my own research.<br />

4.1.2.05 For example within my <strong>aliran</strong> <strong>of</strong> 87,060 citations <strong>the</strong>re are references to non-<br />

English journals such as ‘TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ECONOMISCHE EN SOCIALE<br />

GEOGRAFIE’ and ‘RIVISTA INTERNAZIONALE DI SCIENZE ECONOMICHE E<br />

COMMERCIALI’ and references to journals not listed in ISI. The Journal <strong>of</strong><br />

Develop mental Entrepr eneurship and <strong>the</strong> Journal <strong>of</strong> Research in Marke ting and<br />

Entrepreneurship, associated with <strong>the</strong> Assoc iation <strong>of</strong> Marke ting, that were discussed in<br />

section 2.5.4.06, are not ISI journals and do not appe ar in <strong>the</strong> Web <strong>of</strong> Science episteme.<br />
