As part of
ISI Web of Knowledge that integrates the ISI Web
of Science® and ISI Current Contents Connect® with additional sources
of content, ISI Essential Science Indicators allows for the measurement
of scientific trends and ranks the performance of academic institutions,
countries, researchers, corporations, journals, and papers by specific
fields.
 Determine impact on
science within a field
Academic
institutions, governments, researchers, corporations, and
journal publishers can use ISI Essential Science Indicators to
determine their impact on science within a field, and the
impact of other countries, colleagues, competitors and
journals, providing insight into pivotal influences and
research trends.
Editorial content
from issues of the ISI newsletter, Science Watch®,
is also available through ISI Essential Science Indicators, as
well as commentaries on the most cited authors, journals, and
institutions, and on research trends from the scientific
community itself.
Adding to its strength, the
integration of ISI Essential Science Indicators within ISI Web
of Knowledge allows for seamless links from an evaluated
document in ISI Essential Science Indicators to the
bibliographic and citation
information contained within the ISI Web of Science, and
out to full text. Currently, nearly 6 million record
links are available between the ISI Web of Science and
the full text documents of journal articles and
other databases. |

Compile and rank citations
ISI Essential
Science Indicators is based on citations - references by
scientific authors to prior influences that are published with
scholarly journal articles. Citations are a form of
intellectual debt. For decades, many scholars have utilised
citation data for more than retrieval. They have found this
information vital for analytical purposes. ISI Essential
Science Indicators compiles and ranks citations to form the
basis for these essential science performance statistics and
trends data, and harnesses the strength of the Internet to
deliver this invaluable information to the desktop.
ISI Web of Knowledge is a single,
sophisticated platform that extends and deepens the research
coverage available through one resource by integrating
journal, patent, proceedings, chemistry, and life sciences
literature with Web resources and other scholarly data. Key
content can be cross-searched in the ISI Web of Knowledge.
Additionally, the full text of evaluated Web sites is fully
searchable through ISI Current Contents
Connect.
