For what it's worth, there is a fascinating article in Statistical
Science that just appeared on Citation Indexes. It criticizes them on a
variety of grounds, mainly that they oversimplify the issue of
evaluating research, evaluating departments, etc.
It's available through ArXiv or if you're a member of IMS you may
already have gotten it.

Subject: st: Re: jeditors: Stata Journal to be indexed in Social
Sciences Citation Index
For technical reasons only 86 of the 398 articles in the SJ to date
are included in our citation analysis service (CitEc). I have asked
the manager of that service to see if the additional articles can be
included. These citations only include citations from other items in
RePEc, but that is in fact more comprehensive in one sense than SSCI:
the citations can be coming from published articles (as SSCI includes)
or from working papers.
For the 86 articles included, I have information on the number of
works citing each Stata Journal article. The number of cites (which
may include self-cites or cites from different versions of a working
paper, to be sure):

Receiving the most citations (140): Estimation of average treatment
effects based on propensity scores, Becker, Sascha O. and Ichino,
Andrea.
First runner-up (121): Instrumental variables and GMM: Estimation and
testing, Baum, Christopher and Schaffer, Mark and Stillman, Steven.
Second runner-up (55): Implementing matching estimators for average
treatment effects in Stata, Abadie, Alberto and Drukker, David and
Herr, Jane Leber and Imbens, Guido.
The citations recorded in RePEc for any paper on this list may be
viewed on those articles' pages in IDEAS (ideas.repec.org) or
EconPapers (econpapers.repec.org).
When more comprehensive coverage of SJ articles is available, I will
redo this analysis.
