18. SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Sir Ronald Fisher was an extraordinarily talented evolutionary biologist, geneticist and statistician. His papers published 1918-1930 are today still extremely influential, especially those considered to have established the foundations for modern statistical science. An Author search on “Fisher RA” during the time-span 1900-1944 retrieves 141 results. Sorting by “Times Cited” reveals the most highly cited papers within this results set. For the most highly cited paper, we simply click on the number of Times Cited to view the list of 1765 “citing papers”. Analyze Results to reveal…

19. SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Fisher’s most highly cited landmark paper, published in 1936, has been cited within published research more frequently in the past three years than at any time since its publication!

41. Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Helping You Make the Right Decisions What is Essential Science Indicators? A tool that helps researchers, administrators, deans, and directors measure the productivity, influence, and impact of worldwide research activity in 22 fields of science and social science What kinds of questions can ESI help me answer? Examples: –Which universities produce the most highly-cited chemistry research? Is my university one of them, and if so, what is our ranking? –Which researchers have published the most influential work in immunology over the past 10 years? –I published a paper in 1997 in the field of microbiology. It has been cited 45 times to date -- how does this compare to other papers published in this discipline?

42. Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS The 4 Components of Essential Science Indicators Citation rankings –Institution, Scientist, Country, Journal Most cited papers: long-term vs. “hot” –Highly Cited Papers (top 1% per research field) –Hot Papers (top cited in 2 month period) Citation Analysis –Baselines against which to measure performance –“Research Fronts” to identify trends Editorial commentary –inCites (interviews and essays) and Special Topics (articles) –Science Watch (archives of science trends newsletter)
