8. IranEssential Science Indicators is a web-based research tool that enables researchers and research evaluators to measure scientific performance and to track in science

9. 9 IESI ranks scientists, institutions, countries and journals in 22 fields of research by the number of papers published, citations received and citations made per paper

10. 10  Agriculture Sciences  Art & Architecture  Chemistry  Civil Engineering  Dentistry  Education Sciences  Engineering  Geosciences  Humanities  Law & Political Sciences  Library & Information Sciences  Literature & Language  Material Engineering  Mathematics & Statistics  Medicine  Natural Resources & Environmental  Physics  Psychiatry & Psychology  Sciences  Social Sciences  Sport Sciences & Physical Education  Theology & Islamic Thoughts

11. 11  Analyzing research performance of individuals, institutions, countries and journals. Types of analysis include: Identifying the top researchers or institutions in a specific field or discipline Determining strong areas of research being produced at specific universities or institutions

12.  Identifying significant trends and emerging areas of research  Determining who is publishing the “hottest” papers in a field 12

16. 16  Who are the most influential researchers in this field?

17. 17  Which institutions produce the most highly-cited research in a particular field?

18. 18  Is your institutions citation activity on an upward or downward trend?

19. 19  Where does your institution rank among other universities?

20. 20  Highly Cited Papers are papers with more citations over the last 10 years in 22 scientific fields. Rankings are based on meeting a threshold of top 1% by field and year based on total citations received.

21. 21 Hot Papers Hot Papers published in the past 2 years and received citations soon after publishing, compare to other papers of same field and age.

22. 22  Citation analysis  baselines: help put citation statistics into context  research fronts: create clusters of highly cited articles, useful for identifying ground breaking discoveries

23. 23 Research Fronts Research fronts are groups of highly cited papers referred to as “core papers” in a specialized topics.  To identify a research front, ISC uses co-citation cluster analysis of highly cited papers.

24. 24  Research fronts show the hottest topics in research community.
