SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS
Premium content – as important as this may be, content alone is not enough to drive discovery in today’s digital environment.
The ISI Web of Knowledge objective – Smart Discovery
through provision of the ultimate environment of discovery for the user.
In adherence to this objective, the Strength of the ISI Web of Knowledge lies not only with the information it contains, but with the way it works.

Editorial Selection – which journals to include
The Web of Science is a carefully developed and maintained collection of influential journal literature. The inclusion of every journal and serial, 8800 titles, is determined through rigorous evaluation.
Our selection of journals published 1900-1944 involved:
• Examination of citation patterns within the existing coverage, 1945- present, to identify high-impact titles
• Assessment of multidisciplinary representation within the core group of high-impact journals of this era

Journal Citation Reports
Its Premise:
Thomson-Scientific has for decades captured author cited references (bibliographies) from journal articles that are indexed in the Web of Science and Current Contents. Journals indexed in these two databases are rigorously evaluated and selected for their international influence.
This data is extremely important in revealing precisely which journals publish content that is subsequently cited most frequently within papers presented in the most prestigious journals in the world.

Utilizing the JCR
• Librarians – to assist in the decision-making process with regard to journal collection development and maintenance.
• Authors - to help with decisions on manuscript submission, identify most frequently cited publications within various disciplines.
• Publishers - monitor the influence your journals and compare to competing journals.
• Editors - assist in the tracking the influence of editorial policies over time.

Helping You Make the Right Decisions
• What is Essential Science Indicators?A tool that helps researchers, administrators, deans, and directors measure the productivity, influence, and impact of worldwide research activity in 22 fields of science and social science
• What kinds of questions can ESI help me answer? Examples:– Which universities produce the most highly-cited chemistry research? Is
my university one of them, and if so, what is our ranking?
– Which researchers have published the most influential work in immunology over the past 10 years?
– I published a paper in 1997 in the field of microbiology. It has been cited 45 times to date -- how does this compare to other papers published in this discipline?

SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS
The 4 Components of Essential Science Indicators
• Citation rankings– Institution, Scientist, Country, Journal
• Most cited papers: long-term vs. “hot”– Highly Cited Papers (top 1% per research field) – Hot Papers (top cited in 2 month period)
• Citation Analysis– Baselines against which to measure performance– “Research Fronts” to identify trends
• Editorial commentary– inCites (interviews and essays) and Special Topics (articles)– Science Watch (archives of science trends newsletter)

What are the benefits of Essential Science Indicators?
• Rankings– Use researchers’ acknowledgements (citations) to quantify top research
and indicate the influence of a scientist, institution, country, or journal
– Find the productivity of an institution (number of papers) as well as its influence (number of citations)
• Benchmark analysis– Use citation averages and percentiles to measure the relative influence of
research papers against others in the same field
• Editorial commentary– Gain a view of the scientific landscape through essays and articles;
offering context and background, not just numbers
