New interface of Journal Citation Reports and Essential Science Indicators

 
Starting 1 Jan 2016, Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Essential Science Indicators (ESI) have been moved to a new, more powerful and user friendly platform.
 

The new InCites JCR platform offers interactive features which allow researchers to experience visualizations of JCR indicators to compare, evaluate and inform their decisions on published research in varying fields.

Specifically, it allows you to:

  • review and compare journal titles in desired subject categories, within a specific institute, based on a chosen indicator
  • recognize trending journals in key research categories
  • identify ideal journals in which to publish your forthcoming research
  • visualize the results in graphs

ESI offers data for ranking authors, institutions, nations, and journals. The new InCites ESI platform identifies the influential individuals, institutions, papers, publications, and countries in a field of study – as well as emerging research areas that could impact work.

Specifically, it allows you to:

  • calculate metrics based on a 10-year rolling file
  • determine Top Papers, Highly Cited Papers, Hot Papers by Research Fields, Authors, Institutions or Journals
  • visualize the results in maps
