7 Search Histories Keeping track of the steps in your search process is now simpler. The steps you take to refine your search are now recorded in your search history within any ISI Web of Knowledge database.

8 Search Histories – include Refine Save up to 30 search sets to your profile.

9 Funding Acknowledgements Web of Science records now contain funding acknowledgement data from August 2008 forward. Funding acknowledgements provide information on the sources of financial support for the research presented in a paper, and often contain declarations of interest that offer disclosure when corporate bodies have a financial interest in published research.

10 Funding Acknowledgements The funding agency information and grant numbers are displayed in a tabular format. The full funding acknowledgement is captured from the original article and displays below the table. It can be searched from the Advanced Search page.

11 Advanced Search – funding acknowledgement FT tag searches the full acknowledgement text

12 Funding information – Endnote Web Funding data is also exportable to bibliographic management software including Endnote Web as shown here. The exported funding acknowledgement will appear in the Notes field

13 ResearcherID- Additional Information

14 This researcher has included his ResearcherID on his personal website.

15 The hyperlinked ID takes you to his profile in ResearcherID. Here you can view his affiliation information and role amongst other details provided by the profile.

16 RESEARCHERID- Additional Information To add affiliation information, click on the ‘My Affiliations’ tab in your ResearcherID profile

17 You can add a Primary Institution, Joint Institutions and up to 10 Previous/Past Institutions.

20 Journal Citation Reports ® 2009 Enhancements

21 Journal Citation Reports - Enhancements –Five-Year Impact Factor –Rank - in - Category tables –Box Plots for visualising Impact Factor dispersions with a category –Journal Self Citations Summary –Recalculation of Impact Factor excluding self- citations –Eigenfactor Score –Article Influence Score

22 Journal Citation Reports –Enhancements The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) has served as a foundation of journal collection development, characterization, and evaluation within scholarly research and librarianship around the world Incorporating new metrics and information to complement the high-profile Impact Factor and to better understand its context

23 Journal Citation Reports –Enhancements Why add additional metrics? Our objective in including this new information is to expand one’s evaluative perspective on scholarly journals, to provide a more thorough and well- rounded overview. And to promote the understanding of these metrics and encourage their use in the correct context.

24 There are inherent differences between different fields with regards to citation behavior. For some fields such as Mathematics or Economics it takes longer to reach the peak of citation activity. Citation Behaviour, variance among disciplines:

25 Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Journal Citation Reports –Enhancements Introduction of a 5-Year Impact Factor: To better gauge the impact of journals within fields where influence of published research evolves over a longer period of time than presented by the traditional 2-Year Impact Factor.  The traditional Impact Factor is based on two years of cited journal content – cites in the current year to journal material published in the prior two years.  The 5-Year Impact Factor is based on cites in the current year to journal material published in the prior five years.

26 Journal Citation Reports – Enhancements Introduction of a 5-Year Impact Factor:. Geology

27 Journal Citation Reports – Enhancements Rank in Category table: Many journals maintain an editorial scope that necessitates their inclusion in more than one JCR category. To better reveal the influence of a journal in all assigned categories a Rank in Category table will display each category in which the journal appears along with rank in the category and the Quartile in which the journal is placed in that category - based on Impact Factor.

28 Journal Citation Reports –Enhancements Rank in Category – Box Plot: A category Box Plot accompanies the Rank in Category table. The spacing between the different parts of the box, the quartiles, helps indicate the degree of dispersion of impact of journals within the category. View the journal's Impact Factor in the context of all Impact Factors for the journal's category as depicted by the graph – envisioning a line at the position of the journal’s Impact Factor helps one to better comprehend the display.

29 Journal Citation Reports ® –Enhancements Journal Self Citation  Journal Self-Citation itself is not an inherently “bad” practice.  Authors of course cite related research and this may have been published in the journal to which one in turn submits a paper for publication.  However -- 80% of all journals listed in the JCR Science Edition have self-citation rates of less than 20%. Based on trends within a category we can get an idea of what may be excessive self-citation, which weakens the integrity of the journal’s Impact Factor.

30 Journal Citation Reports –Enhancements Illumination of journal self-citation rates: To provide one the ability to easily compare self-citation rates among journals particularly as this influences Impact factor calculations. Category: Materials Science, Composites

31 Journal Citation Reports ® –Enhancements Eigenfactor Metrics TM : Eigenfactor TM and Article Influence TM : To compliment Impact Factor and other JCR metrics by providing a broader perspective on Journal Influence through specific measures now widely accepted by the scholarly community. These metrics are developed through The Eigenfactor Project™ -- a non- commercial academic research project sponsored by the Bergstrom lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. –

32 Journal Citation Reports ® –Enhancements Eigenfactor TM Score: Scholarly references join journals together in a vast network of citations. The Eigenfactor Score algorithm uses the structure of the entire network to evaluate the importance of each journal, cutting across all disciplines. Self-citations are excluded. This corresponds to a simple model of research in which readers follow chains of citations as they move from journal to journal. Eigenfactor calculations take into consideration a 5-year span of citation activity utilizing data from the Journal Citation Reports. Journals are considered to be influential if they are cited often by other influential journals.

33 Journal Citation Reports ® –Enhancements Article Influence TM Score: As with Eigenfactor Score, Article Influence Score: –Uses the structure of the entire citation network to evaluate the importance of each journal, based on JCR data. –Does not consider self-citations The calculation of Article Influence Score does in fact incorporate Eigenfactor Score. However, as Eigenfactor Score can be described as presenting the total collective value provided by all of the articles published in a journal in a year – Article Influence Score measures the average influence of individual articles appearing in the same journal, translating to the importance of an article published in that journal. Because it does present an average for article-level influence, Article Influence is more like the Impact Factor than Eigenfactor Score – though keep in mind the methodology is quite different and therefore provides a perspective different from but complimentary to Impact Factor.
