English-language bibliographic information SELECTION: CHOOSING CRITERIA

 Consistent indexing for complete analysis  Cover-to-cover indexing  All author names  All author addresses (afiliations)  Subject Area Classification  Open Access  Funding Agencies & Grant Numbers (Funding text) INDEXING CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO VALIDITY 5

Cover to Cover Indexing is essential for producing reliable Journal Ranking Indicators 6 “How can you provide meaningful Journal metrics (Impact Factor, SNIP, etc.) if you do not index the entire journal?” SCIENCE TOTAL Web of Science Core Collection ,028 Nearest commercial database ,407

Different Levels of Metadata Quality All Author Names, All Addresses NO AGREGATION OF THIRD PARTY CONTENT, ALL MATERIALS ARE INDEXED DIRECTLY FROM THE SOURCE (Publishers) This also strengthens the consistency of our metadata capture, Web of Science does not inherit the weaknesses (e.g. missing affiliations in Medline) or third party databases Medline/Pubmed record: One Address 7
