6. INTEGRATION OF JCR METRICS AND HIGHLY CITED INDICATORS

7. Integration of JCR data in Web of Science
Click on a journal title to view journal performance information from JCR (SCI & SSCI only)

8. Integration of ESI Top Paper indicators in Web of Science CC
Instantly discover the producers of high impact research

9. ARTICLE LEVEL USAGE METRICS

10. Why count usage?
Citation activity can lag behind the publication of an article
New items may not have been around long enough to accumulate citation activity.
Many disciplines show little or no citation activity within a year of publication
Items in traditionally slow to cite disciplines
Math, Civil Engineering, Nursing, Economics, and other disciplines where research accumulates citations slowly, will benefit most from a recognition of “interest”
Items in traditionally low citation disciplines
Romance languages, Rhetoric, Architectural History, etc.
A measure of “usage” on the platform can show “interest” in a publication or a topic prior to, or in the absence of, citation activity.

11. What do we count?
Counts of reasonable, intentional user actions that indicate user interest in an item on the WoS platform.
1. Click through from records to full-text
Full Record, or Results Summary list
2. Exports to bibliographic management tools, or into formats for later import into bibliographic management tools
Exports from Full Record, Results Summary, Marked List
Not Counted
Batch operations that could indicate analysis of large sets of data (exports to InCites, etc.)
API usage
Usage activities generated by “bots”

12. Usage Count - Since 2013 Usage Count - Last 180 Days
What do we display?
Usage Count - Since 2013
Usage Count - Last 180 Days
Why these time periods?
We began counting on Feb 1, All counts for all data began on this day.
Last 180 Days is a broad enough time window to show a positive count of usage for most items.

13. Usage Counts – Where to find them on WoS
Sort by Usage Counts. Counts display when sort option is chosen.
Full Usage Count view can be opened and closed.

14. How do the counts change?

SINCE 2013 17 18

15. Usage Counts (the fine print)
Counts will be updated daily
Results Summary page can be sorted by either count
Last 180 Day usage is a rolling count
It can go up, down, or stay the same during the 180 day period
Counts are “unified” on WoS platform
Usage of record in one dataset counts for all versions of the record
Counts will be displayed on Full Record and Search Results Summary
Counts can be exported from the Marked List (field tags = U1, U2)
Counts are not yet exportable to EndNote or available in the WoS API
Due to technical limitations, usage of data in Derwent Innovations Index is not counted

16. Are “bots” a problem?
All counts are “cleansed” of bot activity
What is considered at bot?
Repetitive single actions
Actions occurring at speeds that do not mirror normal human usage
Repeated batch operation
Single record usage activity that does not mirror normal, considered use of Web of Science data
It usage activity looks/acts like a “bot” we consider it to be from a “bot” and all activity associated with that session will not be ‘counted’

17. Interest vs. Impact
Usage Counts are indicative of Interest, not Impact.
Citation Activity = Impact
Usage Counts = Interest
All counts are aggregated from ALL users of the WoS platform
Counts are not “local usage” and are distinct from “Counter compliant” activities reported in Web of Science Usage Reports (WURS)
WoS users are researchers and information professionals; their usage of data on the WoS platform can be said to be more significant than usage of items that are open to anyone on the Web

48. JCR Metrics and Indicators
Journal Evaluation is not achieved with one metric alone
JCR offers a wide range of indicators to build a more informed picture of journal performance
JCR metrics are transparent, repeatable and easy to understand

49. New metrics
% Articles in Citable Items: The percent of citable items for the current data year that are articles (vs. reviews).
Normalized Eigenfactor Score: a value of 1 indicates average influence. A higher value indicates above average influence (eg. NE = 4, the journal is four times more influential than the average journal in JCR).
New metrics found in the Key Indicators table on each journal’s profile:
The % Articles in Citable Items is useful for understanding the proportion of a journal’s citable items that are original research articles (vs. reviews).
Normalized Eigenfactor – the same underlying Eigenfactor calculation, but rescaled and normalized to an average value of 1. A score above 1 indicates above average influence across the journal network.

50. New metrics, cont. JIF Percentile:
Impact Factor Percentile within the subject category.
Located on each journal’s profile in the Rank area.
The percentile of a journal within its assigned category based on its Impact Factor.
Scaled from 1 to 100, higher percentile values indicate a higher Impact Factor in relation to peers. Useful as a measure for cross-category comparison.
JIF Percentile – Found on each journal’s profile in the Rank area. The percentile of a journal within its assigned category based on its Impact Factor. Scaled from 1 to 100, higher percentile values indicate a higher Impact Factor in relation to peers. Useful as a measure for cross-category comparison.

51. Open Access filter and badge
Filter JCR by journals that are classified as Open Access, meaning they are on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ.org) list.

52. New Download Options
New download options include the Citing and Cited Journal Data Table making analyses of a journal’s citing/cited network possible.

53. Year-to-Year Navigation
From a journal’s profile page, it’s simpler to navigate to prior-year data. The Key Indicators table now features clickable data years – click the desired year to load that year’s data in the links below. This will display rank, citing and cited data, and journal relationships for the desired data year below.

54. Filter Citable Items by Document Type
From a journal’s profile page, view the current year Citable Items in the Source Data table. The combined Article/Review count is clickable, allowing a view of the citable item document list. This list can now be refined by document type. Use this to see which articles and reviews are counted for the current data year.

Inclusion in ESI is dependent upon meeting certain citation thresholds. Only the most highly cited individuals, institutions, journals, countries and papers are included in ESI.
To be included as a top researcher the total number of citations to a person’s published works must be in the top one percent when compared to the output of all other researchers working in the same field who have published in the last ten years. Each author listed on a paper is counted equally.
Highly Cited: the total number of citations to a paper must be in the top one percent when compared to all other papers published in the same year in the same discipline. For the purposes of identifying highly cited papers, works are only compared to works published in the same year, for example, a 2005 paper would only be compared to other papers from 2005 in the same discipline.
For hot papers, only papers published in the last two years are considered. “Hot Papers” are those papers that are in the top .1% for citations received in the last two month period when compared to peer papers.

59. Essential Science Indicators Uses

69. 10. Measuring Citation Performance
How can we measure the performance of this paper?
WOS CC provides us with the Times Cited count of this article
How does this total compare to the field?
Is this paper performing better than peer papers?
We need a benchmark- go to ESI!

70. Identify the ESI Discipline
Use the ESI journal list to find the journal and identify the ESI category to correctly compare papers in the same field
SPINE is classified in ‘Neuroscience & Behaviour’

71. Field Baselines
Field baselines are also know as Average Citation Counts for the ESI discipline and year.
The average citation count for Neuroscience & Behaviour papers PY 2013 is 9.59
The articles citation performance (10 cites) is higher than the average for the field
The baselines are updated from WOS CC every 2 months

72. View Percentile Citation Thresholds by Discipline and Published Year
Using the percentiles we can measure the performance of a paper compared to peer papers.
To be a Highly Cited Paper in Neuroscience & Behaviour PY 2013, a paper must receive over 64 cites.
Our paper currently has 10, therefore it is not classified as a Highly Cited Paper at this point in time, but it may become Highly Cited later on.
Using the % ranges, the paper is placed in the top 50% of its field, on achieving more than 6 citations but less than 14.
