Essential Science IndicatorsSM from
Thomson Reuters
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 Reuters
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 entities that are most improved from one update to the next; i.e.,
those scientists, institutions, countries, and journals that show the
largest percentage increase in total citations.
The information found in the links below provides a listing of the Rising
Star entities in each of Essential Science Indicators 22 fields,
for the most recent bimonthly update, and for earlier updates as well.
