InCites is a web-based research evaluation tool designed to track trends on the field, country, and institution level, to enable detailed bibliometric analysis and reporting on the publications important to you.
All metrics and analyses can be performed on any subset of the data
• An entire institution
• One researcher
• Group of researchers (e.g. a department)
• Field of research within your institution
• Topic of research within your institution
• A collaboration partnership within your institution
• Funding
