Citation Index - The Value Add

The language of research is constantly changing, as research progress concepts and terminology evolve.

• Text based searching may miss critical information • Network linkages through citations facilitate the

discovery

information across the boundaries of terminology of LAV (Europe) HTLV-III (USA) 1983 1987 HIV + many variants, “SIV” Present ???

Future This particular article is highly cited and relevant, but does not contain the term “

HIV”

Therefore, this record cannot be found by searching for the text “

HIV”

but is easily found by using citations

Metrics

–

The Value add

Analyze results for detailed analysis such as collaborator identification Instant

Citation Reports

to easily evaluate research and identify trends Visualize citations using the

Citation Map.

Identify trends and track research pathways

The separate data sources are selectable for specific search objectives Search lemmatization: Generate more comprehensive results.

Searching for “

tooth

” will also retrieve alternates such as “

teeth

”

Sort the results by “

Times Cited

” to identify the most influential research

No limits to the number of search results.

Refine results to efficiently narrow the search or run a detailed analysis of the entire result set

Expandable abstracts for easy browsing

The

Analyze feature

is a powerful analytical tool to identify trends and refine searches. Export of the analysis is simple …or any other field Identify the top countries for a particular research topic… And identify trends

Summary statistics and a breakdown per article are provided.

Citation Report provides an instant overview of the publication and citation history 28.6

Link to the Citing Articles

All author names captured, including the full name when available Authors are linked to addresses making the affiliation clear All addresses are captured and addresses are standardized for easy searching

Funding Acknowledgements are captured for easy identification of grant based research and commercial interests

Link to external resources Link to other resources on the

Cited References

Now includes the Times Cited count. Immediately identify the most important papers

Times Cited

Citations from other sources are also included and a breakdown of the citing source is shown Better distinguish the value and relevance of the citing articles.

Use the Citation Map to visualize the citation network

Web of Science

– Citation Map

Displays an interactive visual map of forward and backward citations. It is possible to dynamically scroll around the map to show greater detail 30

Web of Science

– Citation Map

Modify the color of the nodes to display trends. Options include: Author, Source, Year, Subject Category, Institution and Country. 31

Web of Science

– Citation Map

Roll over any node to see the details.

Result save / export options include print, save, e-mail, marked list, alerting and RSS.

Can also export automatically to EndNote and EndNote Web

Permanently archive results. Organize results around your different projects etc. Share folders with colleagues, for example a research group or the reading list for a class EndNote Web  Archiving Search Results  Sharing Information  Formatting Bibliographies  Writing efficiently

Cite While You Write™ As you write an article – search your EndNote Web for items you wish to cite Automatically insert the complete bibliography of the paper and format to the style you require. Saves researchers and students a huge amount of time, enabling them to focus on writing the article

EndNote Web is included as part of the

Web of Knowledge

platform, fully integrated with the Web of Science and ResearcherID

ResearcherID

is a freely available website where researchers can register themselves and list their publications. A useful tool to help researchers increase their global visibility and network with other researchers

ResearcherID

also includes basic citation metrics, available to the public

ResearcherID

also includes network analysis tools for co-author and citing articles.
