NEW ENTRANTS
Essential Science IndicatorsSM
provides citation rankings of scientists, institutions, countries, and
journals broken out by broad fields of science. A citation threshold is
applied to each field ranking: scientists and institutions are selected
if they are in the top 1% by total citations in a given field, and
countries and journals must be in the top 50%. A total of 10 years of
Thomson Scientific
citation data, plus some number of consecutive bimonthly periods during
the current year, are used to determine the rankings. Since
Essential Science Indicators is updated every two months, it is
possible to identify new entrants to the rankings, i.e., those
scientists, institutions, countries, and journals appearing for the
first time in a field ranking. The information found in the links below
provide information on the most-cited of these new entrants in each
field, for the most recent bimonthly update, and for earlier updates as
well. For details on citation scores, papers, and time-series
performance for these new entrants, see Essential Science
Indicators.
