ESSENTIAL SCIENCE INDICATORS ESSENTIAL SCIENCE INDICATORS • Value Proposition – Benchmark (through third parties data) the research performance of people, institutions, countries, journals and papers again field baselines. – Keep us on global research trends by monitoring for highly cited (excellence) and hot papers (innovation) and research fronts in a range of disciplines – Research producing organisations: rank your institution among the top 1% of highly cited institutions globally. – Research funding organisations: identify which institutions are producing high impact papers. – Provide data (percentiles and threshold) that can be used for several other applications. ESSENTIAL SCIENCE INDICATORS • Data – Over 10 million items from over 11,000 ISI indexed journals – Articles, reviews, proceedings papers, research notes – Does not include letters, editorial material, etc. – 10-year rolling file – Updated every 2 months ESSENTIAL SCIENCE INDICATORS • Fields of Research – Multidisciplinary tool covering 22 discipline areas. – Scope notes for each field can be found on In-Cites webpage at http://sciencewatch.com/about/met/ Agricultural Sciences Mathematics Biology & Biochemistry Microbiology Chemistry Molecular Biology & Genetics Clinical Medicine Multidisciplinary Computer Science Neuroscience & Behavior Ecology/Environment Pharmacology & Toxicology Economics & Business Physics Engineering Plant & Animal Science Geosciences Psychology/Psychiatry Immunology Social Sciences, general Material Sciences Space Science ESSENTIAL SCIENCE INDICATORS • Citation thresholds – Only the most highly cited individuals, institutions, journals, countries and papers will be found in the database. – Inclusion in ESI is dependent upon meeting the citation thresholds shown below. NEW DESIGN: GLOBAL HEADER The top of the page contains the global header to access all products in the subscriber's suite. Below that users can access the Indicators data pages (default view), the Field Baselines, and the Citation Thresholds. "Indicators" is the main data page. Field Baselines and Citation Thresholds are nearly identical to those found in the legacy ESI interface; their front and center location makes for easy reference for users. VISUALIZATION MAP The map displays the concentration of research by country with some interactive features: – – – The default view is the concentration of Top Papers, or the sum of Highly Cited and Hot Papers. If a user changes the paper view to either Highly Cited or Hot alone, the concentrations on the map will also change. The figure in the legend depicts the highest concentration of papers for a single country, not the sum of all Top Papers. Hovering over a given country on the map will show the individual data for that country. Clicking on a country in the map, will refresh the data grid below to contain only the data for the selected country. Clicking "Hide Visualization" in the upper right corner of the map will hide the map. To get it back, click "Show Visualization" in the upper right corner of the data grid. VISUALIZATION MAP 52 VISUALIZATION MAP VISUALIZATION MAP 54 VISUALIZATION MAP 55 VISUALIZATION MAP 56 DATA GRID The Data Grid will refresh based on any changes made to the map or the Results and Filter menu. All columns can be sorted. The Results column can be filtered. Users can customize the data grid to include cites to and cites per paper. DATA GRID 58 DATA GRID 59 RESULTS AND FILTERING The RESULTS box is where users choose what rankings they wish to see: The FILTER BY box is where users choose how to narrow their results: Users can also filter by Highly Cited, Hot Papers, or both (Top): FILTER RESULTS 61 FILTER RESULTS 62 FILTER RESULTS 63 FILTER RESULTS 64 SAVING SEARCH CRITERIA Users signed in under a UNP ID can choose to save their searches so that when they come back, they can retrieve a saved search rather than have to recreate their search from scratch: EXPORTING AND PRINTING REPORTS Once a user has executed a search, they may export the results of that search by clicking the download symbol in the upper right of the screen: Users may also print their results by clicking the printer icon: DATA DRILL DOWN: CITATION TRENDS Users can view citation trends for any entity in the rankings list. For example, if the user clicks on the name CHINESE ACAD SCI: DATA DRILL DOWN: CITATION TRENDS They will be taken to the Citation Trends Page for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which shows a trend graph, normalized citation data, and raw citation data: DATA DRILL DOWN: CITATION TRENDS 69 DATA DRILL DOWN: CITATION TRENDS 70 DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW Users can access the Top Papers for their selected entity from the Citation Trends Page by clicking the Documents tab on the left navigation bar. From the Home Indicators Page, the Document List View Page for an entity can be reached by clicking on the blue bar containing the number of Top Papers: DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW 72 DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW 73 DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW In the Document List display, only the first few authors and institutions will show. To view all authors or institutions for a paper, users should click "et al" or "expand" on the appropriate line: These expanded views can also be collapsed: DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW 75 DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW 76 DATA DRILL DOWN:DOCUMENT LIST VIEW 77 FILTERING THE DOCUMENT LIST When a user clicks "add filter," the filters already applied on the Indicators page will show in their respective fields. However, users can further filter this list. If a user wishes to find a certain author, they can click "Authors" and type in the person they want to find. The text is auto-matched against the database, and eligible names will show in a drop-down list for selection by the user. Selecting an author from the drop-down list will then refresh the page view with the documents now filtered to Author FENG L, Institution CHINESE ACAD SCI, and Research Field CHEMISTRY. The filters for Institutions, Countries/Territories, Journals work in the same manner. Users can also filter by keywords in a Title or Research Front as well as publication year. FILTERING THE DOCUMENT LIST Filtering can also be applied directly from the documents. Clicking on any hyperlinked value (other than the title, which takes users to WOS) will filter the document list on that value: SAVING THE DOCUMENT LIST Users logged in via UNP can save their filtered document list searches by clicking "Save Criteria" on the left navigation rail. A pop-up will prompt the user to create a name for their list. Names may not include spaces or selected characters. In the event the user tries to enter a disallowed character or use the same name of something they've previously saved, the list will not save and an error message will direct the user to choose a different name. The list may then be accessed through the folder icon in the upper right of the screen. Clicking "Start Over" on the Document List view will clear ALL filters. Users may then add a new set of filters or click on the "Indicators" rank to go back to the main page and start a new search.
