International Coverage in the Web of Science
• Thomson Reuters extends the power of its Journal Selection
Process by focusing on the world’s best Regional Journals
• Web of Science users are more international than ever before
• Research is more international than ever before and the
importance of research from developing nations is increasing
– Asia
– Eastern Europe
– Middle East
– Latin America
Share of published papers
Regional Expansion - Selection Philosophy
• We are still using the same stringent policy that we
have always used. We have not weakened our
selection policy in anyway.
• However, we have listened to our customers and
have slightly modified our approach with regards to
regional journals to reflect the increasing
importance of regional coverage
– Journals with a regional focus are generally cited by their
own community which by nature is small
– Therefore the impact factors may not be as high as
international journal, but the value of the content is high
– Other selection criteria must be adhered to

Century of Social Sciences
• Diverse Coverage
– In addition to Sociology, Psychology, and Economics, this collection
includes valuable intellectual heritage within Anthropology,
Communication, Education, Law, Political Science, and Public Health,
and more.
– With the July 2009 release of Web of Science Social Science Citation
Index backfiles 1900-1955 a wealth of valuable research with several
hundred titles will become available in a form that provides not only easy
searching, but navigation via cited references.
• What sources were cited by landmark Social Science papers?
• What research today is influenced by these historic works?
– Century of Social Sciences reveals this with instantly, and
can provide links to the full text within sources such as
JSTOR or publisher electronic archives.

Web of Science Conference Proceedings
Citation Index
• Proceedings literature is an essential component of international
scholarly communication.
• New theories, solutions, and indications of emerging and developing
concepts are typically presented first within papers delivered at
scientific and scholarly meetings and conferences.
• Particularly benefits researchers in the following fields: Engineering,
Computer Science, Physical Sciences where some crucial research
is not covered in journals
Web of Science Conference Proceedings:
• The CPCI files are fully integrated into Web of Science, behaving
exactly as the SCIE, SSCI and A&HCI files
Conference proceedings are now
available as two additional indexes in the
Web of Science
BIOSIS Citation Index
• A new citation product, providing cited references for
BIOSIS Previews content:
– Cited references for all Previews content (beginning
2006)
– Cited references for 60% of high impact Previews
journals (1926 - 2005)
• All citation data contained within the Previews database

Data Usage
• Building the Institutional Knowledge Base: Support
Through Web of Science and Thomson Reuters “Web
Services”
– Complimentary Web Services
• Capturing, organizing, presenting and promoting the intellectual
output of an institution is now a great priority of colleges and
universities large and small. For most, this translates to clear
initiatives for development of an Institutional Repository (IR).
• Given the place of prominence of Web of Science within academic
communities worldwide, Thomson Reuters is firmly committed to
directly assisting and supporting in university IR initiatives through
both complimentary and subscribed services.
Data Usage and Maintenance
• Web of Science/Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Links
Article Match Retrieval Service
• Journal and Article-level bibliographic information may be used in
the API request in order to make a match with Web of Science
records. Or, unique identifiers in the form of the Web of Science
UT (retrievable through Web Services-Light data extraction) or the
DOI alone are sufficient for a match.
• Available ongoing updates of this data provide a level of “currency”
that is invaluable in promoting the work of an individual author as
well as the institution as a whole.
– Used in tandem, Web Services Lite and the Links Article
Match Retrieval Service allows a Web of Science subscribing
institution to retrieve information for papers published by
institutional authors, populate an Institutional Repository, and
link from this IR information into Web of Science.

Journal Citation Reports - New Metrics and Information
Citation Behavior, variance among disciplines:
Some fields are very fast moving, particularly within the life sciences, and published
research gets cited at a relatively rapid pace. Research in other fields, mathematics
for example, makes its impact more slowly over an extended period of time.

Journal Citation Reports - New Metrics and Information
Introduction of a 5-Year Impact Factor:
To better gauge the impact of journals within fields where influence of published
research evolves over a longer period of time than presented by the traditional
2-Year Impact Factor.
Immunology
 Impact Factor is based
on two years of cited journal
content – cites in the
current year to journal
material published in the
prior two years.
 A 5-Year Impact Factor
is based on cites in the
current year to journal
material published in the
prior five years.

Journal Citation Reports - New Metrics and Information
Rank in Category table:
Many journals maintain an editorial scope that necessitates their inclusion in
more than one JCR category. To better reveal the influence of a journal in all
assigned categories a Rank in Category table will display each category in which
the journal appears along with rank in the category and the Quartile in which the
journal is placed in that category - based on Impact Factor.
