A true Citation Index: key facts

• Cover to Cover indexing – All selected journals, all journals issues are indexed “cover to cover”, meaning

all document types are indexed.

– All materials are indexed directly from the source: there is no “simple”

aggregation of third party content (no inheritance of weaknesses). All’authors

and all affliations are captured

• Cited References Complete Indexing – Full cited references for any articles: all cited references are captured (always

and since the beginning)

• Several Information Layers – A publication can be found out in several databases and different levels and

type of information can be retrieved to help researchers

A true Citation Index: key facts

• Other indexed info – Funding acknowledgment (8M+ funding grants)

– Keyword Plus, Related Records, Pubmed ID, etc...

A carefully curated Index: Selection Criteria

http://wokinfo.com/essays/journal-selection-process/





Journals are not equal: why be selective

More journals published

Less quality (Aggregated IF)

Less documents per journal

but

A bunch of journals are always

more representative than others

Disambiguation - Author

Current Distinct Author

Identification System

deployed in 2008.

Philosophy: only authors has

the best knowledge of his/her

publication. Priority is avoiding

errors (i.e. automatic

algorithm)

Full Support to Author

Identifiers (RID and ORCID)

Present

Disambiguation - Author

New Distinct Author Identification System – Next Generation to be

deployed shortly (improved clustering)

WoS Profiles: collaborative solution based on Converis

Continuous support to ORCID

Near Future

Disambiguation - ORCID

• Web of Science will receive a regular monthly feed of

data from ORCID and apply ORCID numbers to WoS

records. This will allow us to add ORCID numbers to

records without a link between a RID and ORCID profile.

• An early estimate is that 90K ORCIDs will be added,

affecting 1.5 million publications.

• Web of Science will now support two paths for ORCID

integration

1. Web of Science > RID > ORCID

2. ORCID > Web of Science

• Web of Science will use advanced unification to connect

ORCID article metadata that may not have originated on the

WoS platform to WoS metadata.


User registers for WoS profile and

initiates an RID

User adds

WoS to RID

with RID update

ORCID FOUR STEPS

• Counts of reasonable, intentional user actions that

indicate user interest in an item on the WoS platform.

– Click through from records to full-text

• Full Record, or Results Summary list

– Exports to bibliographic management tools, or into formats for

later import into bibliographic management tools

• Exports from Full Record, Results Summary,

Marked List

• Not Counted

– Batch operations that could indicate analysis of large sets of data

(exports to InCites, etc.)

– API usage

– Usage activities generated by “bots”


• Citation activity can lag behind the publication of an article • New items may not have been around long enough to accumulate citation

activity.

• Many disciplines show little or no citation activity within a year of publication

• Items in traditionally slow to cite disciplines

• Math, Civil Engineering, Nursing, Economics, and other disciplines where

research accumulates citations slowly, will benefit most from a recognition

of “interest”

• Items in traditionally low citation disciplines

• Romance languages, Rhetoric, Architectural History, etc.

A measure of “usage” on the platform can show “interest” in a

publication or a topic prior to, or in the absence of, citation activity.

Building and Strengthening the Core


Some requirements of Web of Science

audience are evolving. – More data to support comprehensive

research assessment and analysis

– More coverage of local content with

significant regional importance

– More opportunities for expanding global

collaboration

– More coverage of emerging trends

and scientific developments beyond the

high impact literature

But, without compromising the strict and

rigorous editorial process for inclusion in

SCIE/SSCI/AHCI, remaining selective in

identifying the most relevant journals
