5. Coverage 12,600 journals Titles of non-English journals translated Abstracts of non-English language articles available in English from 1990 Social Sciences & Humanities

6. Search Web of Science default Phrase Searching – eg. “regulatory competition” finds this exact phrase Author Names – Last name first, followed by a space and initial(s) – Lemley M* finds: Lemley, Mark – Lemley finds all authors with the family name Lemley

8. 5-year Impact factor The 5-year Journal Impact Factor: – "The 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 Journal Citations Report year. It is caclulated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years."

10. Calculation H-index of 3 means there are 3 items that have 3 citations or more. "This metric is useful because it discounts the disproportionate weight of highly cited papers or papers that have not yet been cited." H-index

12. Caveats The journal selection process – "Many excellent regional journals target a local, rather than an international, audience. Therefore, the emphasis on extensive international diversity is less than for internationally focused journals."

13. Caveats… Web of Science a database of article records ‘Main’ articles sometimes mis-classified as ‘reviews’ Language coverage Thomson Reuters does not correct/change metadata Abstracts only since 1992 Author names – variations/diacritics Citation because of ‘controversial’ or ‘bad science’ Differences between disciplines: citation patterns.
