5-Year Journal Impact FactorThe 5-year journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in thepast five years have been cited in the JCR year.

Article InfluenceThe Article Influence determines the average influence of a journal's articles over the first five years afterpublication. It is calculated by multiplying the Eigenfactor by 0.01 and dividing by the number of articlesin the journal, normalized as a fraction of all articles in all publications. This measure is roughly analogousto the 5-Year Journal Impact Factor in that it is a ratio of a journal’s citation influence to the size of thejournal’s article contribution over a period of five years.

The equation is as

follows: whereX = 5-year Journal Article Count divided by the 5-year Article Count from All Journals.

The mean Article Influence for each article is 1.00. A score greater than 1.00 indicates that each article inthe journal has above-average influence. A score less than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal hasbelow-average influence.

Category Normalized Citation ImpactThe Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of a document is calculated by dividing the actual countof citing items by the expected citation rate for documents with the same document type, year of publicationand subject area. When a document is assigned to more than one subject area an average of the ratios of theactual to expected citations is used. The CNCI of a set of documents, for example the collected works of anindividual, institution or country/region, is the average of the CNCI values for all the documents in the set.

CNCI is a valuable and unbiased indicator of impact irrespective of age, subject focus of document type.An CNCI value of 1 represents performance at par with world average, values above 1 are considered aboveaverage and values below 1 are considered below average.

Eigenfactor®The Eigenfactor calculation is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the pastfive years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also considers which journals have contributed thesecitations so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. Referencesfrom one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactors arenot influenced by journal self-citation.

Immediacy IndexThe Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published.

• The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited.

• The aggregate Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a subject category are cited.

The Immediacy Index is calculated by dividing the number of citations to articles published in a given yearby the number of articles published in that year.

Because it is a per-article average, the Immediacy Index tends to discount the advantage of large journalsover small ones. However, frequently issued journals may have an advantage because an article publishedearly in the year has a better chance of being cited than one published later in the year. Many publicationsthat publish infrequently or late in the year have low Immediacy Indexes.

For comparing journals specializing in cutting-edge research, the immediacy index can provide a usefulperspective.

Journal Expected CitationsAverage number of citations to articles of the same document type from the same journal in the samedatabase year.

You can compare an article’s citation count to this norm by forming a ratio of actual citations to expectedcitations--the Journal Actual/Expected Citations ratio. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that the article'scitation count is better than average.

For example, the average number of citations received by an article published in 2004 in the journalCirculation is 55.34. This number is the journal expected citations. If an article published in Circulation in2004 has received 30 citations, the ratio of actual citations to expected citations is .54, indicating a below-average citation count.

On many reports, the Journal Actual/Expected Citations ratio is an aggregate ratio: the denominator(expected citations) is the sum of the expected citations of all journals that the documents were published in.The numerator (actual citations) is the sum of the citation counts of the documents themselves. Division ofthe sums yields the number shown.

Journal Impact FactorThe Journal Impact Factor is defined as all citations to the journal in the current JCR year to items publishedin the previous two years, divided by the total number of scholarly items (these comprise articles, reviews,and proceedings papers) published in the journal in the previous two years.

Though not a strict mathematical average, the Journal Impact Factor provides a functional approximation ofthe mean citation rate per citable item. A Journal Impact Factor of 1.0 means that, on average, the articlespublished one or two years ago have been cited one time. A Journal Impact Factor of 2.5 means that, onaverage, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited two and a half times. The citing worksmay be articles published in the same journal. However, most citing works are from different journals,proceedings, or books indexed in Web of Science.

Normalized indicatorsSome indicators include the suffix “normalized." This indicates that the indicator has been modified toovercome differences in subjects. The normalized indicator is calculated as the weighted average of therelative performance in each subject area. This is a three step process:

1. The inter-quartile mean of the performance of all institutions is calculated for each subject.

Indicators Glossary 20ID: 8812-TRS | Version: 6 | Date: 6/27/17 1:19:27 PM

2. The performance of the institution in each subject is divided by the inter-quartile mean of the subject.This results in a relative indicator for that subject.

3. The weighted average of the institution’s performance across subjects (Overall) is calculated using thevalue of the denominator as the weighting factor.For example for the indicator “papers / academic staff” the number of academic staff in each subject isused as the weighting factor to calculate the average of the relative indicators.

The normalized indicator for a single subject is the relative indicator as described in step 2.

The higher the number of citations, the smaller the percentile number. Themaximum percentile value is 100, indicating 0 citations received.

If a journal is assigned to more than one subject area, the percentile is based on the subject area in which thepaper performs best, i.e. the lowest value.

In the document list view, subject areas are sorted by the corresponding paper's performance in that subjectarea, so that the first listed subject area corresponds to the percentile in subject area indicator.

ScoreA number from 1-100 that represents the probability that any value randomly selected will fall below the

value represented by that number. The score is calculated by cumulative probability1.

A score places a value in context and allows for meaningful comparisons. For example, if the number ofacademic staff for an institution is 300, it is impossible to judge whether that is a large or small number inrelation to other institutions. If the indicator (academic staff) receives a score of 50, then it is reasonable toconclude that 300 is average; that is, there is a 50% probability that the size of the academic staff of anotherinstitution randomly selected will be smaller than 300.
