13. Journal Citation Reports 5-Year Journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years. The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. Cited half-life is the median age of the articles that were cited in the JCR year. Cited Journal Graph shows the distribution by cited year of citations to articles published in a journal. IUPWARE VUB 27/05/2009 | pag. 13

14. Journal Citation Reports The white/grey division indicates the cited half-life (if < 10.0). Half of the journal's cited items were published more recently than the cited half-life. The top (gold) portion of each column indicates Journal Self Citations: citations to items in the journal from items in the same journal. The bottom (blue) portion of each column indicates Non-Self Citations: citations to the journal from items in other journals. The two lighter columns indicate citations used to calculate the Impact Factor (always the 2nd and 3rd columns). IUPWARE VUB 27/05/2009 | pag. 14

15. Journal Citation Reports the Eigenfactor Score is essentially a ratio of number of citations to total number of articles. However, unlike the Impact Factor, the Eigenfactor Score: 1.Counts citations to journals in both the sciences and social sciences. 2.Eliminates self-citations. Every reference from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal is discounted. 3.Weights each reference according to a stochastic measure of the amount of time researchers spend reading the journal. IUPWARE VUB 27/05/2009 | pag. 15

16. Journal Citation Reports The Article Influence Score measures the relative importance of the journal on a per-article basis. It is the journal's Eigenfactor Score divided by the fraction of articles published by the journal. That fraction is normalized so that the sum total of articles from all journals is 1. A score greater than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal has above-average influence. IUPWARE VUB 27/05/2009 | pag. 16

17. Additional tools ISI Highly Cited tool Identify and honor researchers whose collected publications have received the highest number of citations across the past two decades. Being acknowledged by Web of Science as a Highly Cited Researcher means that an individual is among the 250 most cited researchers for their published articles within a specific time-period IUPWARE VUB 27/05/2009 | pag. 17
