• Improvements based on customer feedback

– Bringing all analytics into one single environment (Next Gen Incites with improved visual design ).

– Modern look and feel, consistent with Web of Science redesign (“family” SSR navigation and global header/footer and other elements: sign in, help, etc.. ). Brand awareness.

– Integration with WoS Core Collections both behind the scenes and through the user interface (documents hyperlinked at the article level and journal overlay).

– Integration with ESI: broadest categories/research areas (es. Chemistry)

– Easy to analyze across editions and years (historical data). JCR Science Edition: Contains data from over 8,000 journals in 171 subject categories. JCR Social Sciences Edition: Over 3,000 journals in the 55 subject categories.


• Improvements based on customer feedback

– All JCR years are presented together for trend analysis.

– Personalization: ability to save marked list and export (signed-in users)

– Easy export: reports and full datasets (with license).

– New filter panel allowing seamless transition between categories, journals, years, and JCR editions

– Expanded visualization: graphs and journal comparisons (directly in the product).

– New metric: Journal-level ego network diagrams (citing and cited data) based on Journal Impact Factor and Market Share relationships. Or IF without self citations

On login, users will be taken to the JCR home page, which grants immediate user access to data; the default view is of the overall category rankings. There are four main components of the JCR home page: the overall header, the visualization, the data grid, and the filters.

The top of the page contains the global header to access all products in the subscriber's suite.

JCR utilizes breadcrumbs in the navigation. In addition, there are icons for downloading data on a page, saving journals or filtered lists to the Custom Reports area, and downloading the JCR data files for local analysis purposes (only subscribers to the JCR add-on can access this feature).

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.



• 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

Agricultural Sciences Biology & Biochemistry Chemistry Clinical Medicine Computer Science Ecology/Environment Economics & Business Engineering Geosciences Immunology Material Sciences

Mathematics Microbiology Molecular Biology & Genetics Multidisciplinary Neuroscience & Behavior Pharmacology & Toxicology Physics Plant & Animal Science Psychology/Psychiatry Social Sciences, generalSpace Science


• 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/


• 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.

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:

72


73



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:

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 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.
