A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CITATION INDEX Concept first developed by Eugene Garfield –Science, 1955 The Science Citation Index (1963) –SCI print (1960’s) –On-line with SciSearch in the 1970’s –CD-ROM in the 1980’s –Web interface (1997) Web of Science Content enhanced: –Science Citation Index – Expanded (SCI-E) –Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) –Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) –Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) –Book Citation Index (BKCI) – coming soon!

WHY NOT INDEX ALL JOURNALS? 40% of the journals: 80% of the publications 92% of cited papers 4% of the journals: 30% of the publications 51% of cited papers

HOW DO WE DECIDE WHICH JOURNALS TO INDEX? Approx journals evaluated annually –10-12% accepted Thomson Reuters editors –Information professionals –Librarians –Experts in the literature of their subject area Web of Science Journals under evaluation Journal ‘quality’

THOMSON REUTERS JOURNAL SELECTION POLICY Publishing Standards –Peer review, Editorial conventions Editorial content –Addition to knowledge in specific subject field Diversity –International, regional influence of authors, editors, advisors Citation analysis –Editors and authors’ prior work
