M/s Divan Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. is one of the pioneers to develop, preserve, disseminate and serve knowledge products and services to scholarly world. M/s Divan Enterprise is publishing ~150 journals from India with a specific motive to bridge the gap between the content sources and content users via World Wide Web. Full text online access of the journals is available to users. While working for online publishing to content delivery and synchronization of contents as per International Standards, M/s Divan Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. in consultation with Mr. Prakash Chand Ex Scientist NISCAIR, CSIR felt that India is making substantial contribution in various domains of world knowledge but a tool to measure and evaluate such national knowledge is not yet in place. Though, at international level few tools and databases are available but their coverage of Indian contents particularly those publish in the journals emanating from India are negligible. To bridge this gap, M/s Divan Enterprise Pvt. Ltd. has started to develop Indian Citation Index (ICI) covering ~1000 top Indian scholarly journals of all disciplines of knowledge. The ICI database enables access and empowers users to search, track, measure and collaborate in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities to turns raw data/information into the powerful knowledge one need. ICI like other indexes enables user to move back in time to previously published papers, but uniquely one can also look forward in time to determine who has subsequently cited an earlier piece of research. This feature makes this database a specialized information product which is highly useful for researchers, policy makers, decision takers, editors, librarians etc.
