New metrics and functionality in Journal Citation Reports

Enhancements in Journal Citation Reports


  • Five-Year Impact Factor – Gives a broader range of citation activity for a more informative snapshot over time. For journals in subjects where citation activity continues to rise through several years, this allows more of their total citation activity to be included in a critical performance metric.

  • Eigenfactor™, also a five-year metric, is designed to reflect the prestige and citation influence of journals by considering scholarly literature as a network of journal-to-journal relationships.

  • Graphic Displays of Impact Factor “Box Plots” – A graphic interpretation of how a journal ranks in different categories.

  • Rank-in-Category Tables for Journals Covering Multiple Disciplines – Allows a journal to be seen in the context of multiple categories at a glance rather than only a single one.

  • Journal “Self Citations” – An analysis of journal self citations and their contribution to the Journal Impact Factor calculation.

Enhancements in ISI Web of Science

In the current release, February 2009, of Web of Science you can search the new Funding Agency, Grant Number and Editor search fields. You can also install Install a new Firefox 3 plug-in with EndNote® Web. Read more
