Overall Figures
As a result, the core literature of all scientific disciplines involved a group of not more than 1,000 journals and may even possibly be reduced to as few as 500 journals (1972). A relatively small number of journals account for the bulk of what is published and what is cited. - E. Garfield
A relatively small number of journals publish the majority of significant scholarly results
N°of Peer Reviewed Journals Number of Predatory Journals Number of Fraudolent Papers 25,500* 76,056
Ulrich’s- April 2017
~1,000
Jeffrey Beall –January 2017
There are too many journals and digital publishing allowed market access to low level journals
Number of Articles per year ~12-14M

Expanding the Core. Emerging Science Citation Index “ESCI has a positive effect on research assessment and it accelerates communication in the scientific community”
Early Insight on the ESCI: an overlay map-based bibliometric study Scientometrics, 18 March 2017
Started in 2015 Currently indexing ~5,200 journals from +2,700 publishers (1,500 NEW) + 100 countries (23 NEW) represented 46% of ESCI titles not indexed by main competitor
Expanding the Core. Emerging Science Citation Index
Research output from 200+ countries 80% of the Research
North America 53% of the research
America and Western Europe
Global research coverage enhanced by Emerging Sources Citation Index (Author addressed in ESCI)*
Region # Countries per region Africa 55 Asia Pacific 30 Eastern Europe 27 India 1 Middle East 22 North America 3 Latin America 35 Western Europe 26

What’s new
UI Light Redesign
Expanding the Coverage. The Regional Indexes
Regional Citation Indexes complement the global coverage of the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on the top research in the key knowledge economies. Our regional indexes offer both English and local language content and local language search interfaces and are curated by independent authorities § Chinese Science Citation Database § KCI Korean Journal Database § Russian Science Citation Index § SciELO Citation Index
Expanding the Coverage. The Regional Indexes
“There is no point that the +50-years success of Web of Science Core Collection is due to the value of the data”
Value of the Data – The Four Pillars
Cover to cover All authors & affiliations All Cited References Funding Data Document Types Category Schemes
Selectivity Indexing Coverage Process
Consistenc y is the key A different level of metadata capture
Indexing – the Key Value
“The data recorded in the SCI and SSCI [in the Web of Science] is generally more curated than the data in SCOPUS.”
EVERY ISSUE OF ANY COVERED JOURNAL IS INDEXED WITH NO CONTENT GAPS EVERY DOCUMENT OF ANY PUBLISHED ISSUE IS INDEXED (all contributions included). Indexing – Cover to Cover
Indexing – Cover to Cover
ALL AUTHORS AND ALL AFFILIATIONS ARE CAPTURED AND RECEIVE FULL CREDIT
“Indicators based on co-authorships are highly influenced by the quality of the information about the address of authors of each
lower including the important fact that some authors appear to be missing”
Indexing – Authors and Affiliations
Indexing – Authors and Affiliations
Indexing – Cited References
More than 1bn cited references
Indexing – Document Type Documents are indexed directly from the publisher: all content stems from direct indexing (not from an aggregation of 3rd party materials)
section level. The rules about how sections are defined (considering abstracts, citation density, article length, etc) are kept in a separate authority file for each journal.
Documents not necessarily maintain the Doc Type assigned by publishers that cannot “play” to influence the journal metrics. Clarivate doesn’t defer classification authority to them.
“The classification of document by source type and by document type in Scopus is imperfect and cannot be used directly to identify all relevant papers in the database”
Indexing – New Document Types Traditionally, “Retracted Publications” have been identified only via a title amendment that included the notification of retraction in the title. This lead to it being difficult to find, or filter, on “Retracted Publications” in WoS and InCites.

LAUNCH OF A NEW DOC TYPE: DATA PAPER Indexing – New Document Types
Indexing – Categorization
Large - Scale Analysis of the Accuracy of the Journal Classification Systems of Web of Science and Scopus (Wang, Waltman, 2016)
Almost 60% of all journals In WoS belong to one category, whereas in Scopus more than 60% of Journals are assigned to two or more categories
In Scopus journals are assigned to categories with which they are
Indexing – Funding Data
Funding acknowledgments are captured on SCI-E for what concerns articles and reviews since August 2008. Funding acknowledgments are captured on SSCI for all document types since March 2015.
“Curating a world class database is not only indexing data, it also means processing them to add value to the community”
Processing the Data
Istitutional Name Identification
In WoS- CC more than 6,000 istitutions are carefully unified: this harmonizes the different ways an institution name is stated into one “organisation enhanced” preferred name, creating a list of variances and a set of rules.
CNRS, for instance, has hundreds of variances and thousands of rules Nothing comparable exists
1
Processing - Affiliation
Istitutional Name Identification
Unification Rules are built and validated in collaboration with institutions. The procedure leverages many data elements from each publication through semi-automated process as well as the collaboration with the organisations. 2
Processing - Affiliation
Author Name Disambiguation
In 2008 “Full Author Names” have been introduced in lieu of “Block Names” (last name + first name initial)
Authors and their address affiliations are linked together since 2008
The correct way to write an author name, is the following format: Last name, First name / First initial
Names are ambiguous (Eastern countries, Spain, etc…)
Almost 200 million authorships in WOS Core Collection. Need of methods able to scale up millions of papers.

Author Name Disambiguation

Author Identifiers – RID adoption
Romania is 24th in the world for what concerns RID adoption
Funding data unification
Funding unification is currently available
As usual it’s a collaborative
unification file is available for doublecheck and validation. Funding agencies could act as affiliations (intramural activities) or funded bodies . Around 700 funding agencies have been unified with the possibility to exploit a hierarchical structure.
Processing – Funding agencies
For each article some keyword metadata are added looking at the titles of references cited by the article.Especially important for discoverability when author keywords are missing
All journals indexed on DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) are flagged as Open Access (following the gold road). Especially important for retrieving articles free of charge for the readers
In InCites all articles belonging to the “multidisciplinary” categories are possibly reassigned to a not “multidisciplinary” category looking at the cited references (more stable respect to the citations). Especially important for evaluation purposes
Processing – Other
Data cleansing (article, citation counts...)
Unique Cited Title Citation Variants
Citation Aggregation
“Currently, the Thomson Reuters production system includes over 210,000 variant title entries, for the resolution of citations to nearly 30,000 current and historic preferred titles. The average entry for a covered journal contains 10 variants, but approximately 1% of preferred titles require more than 50 variants”
JIF is a reflection of the citation performance of a journal as a whole unit, not as an assembly of diverse published items
Processing – Citations
“Journal names and ISSN have been thoroughly standardized in the WoS, but only partially in SCOPUS. Volume, issue and pages are more standardized in the WoS than in SCOPUS”
Errors are quite common when dealing with citations (i.e. bibliographic data)
Indexing – Cited References
Journal Citation Reports – Impact Factor
2014 2015 2013 2012 2016 2015 Impact Factor: Ratio of citations from 2015 to citable items published in 2013-2014

Citation Normalization
Discipline citation patterns vary by subject category Time citations accrue
different rates Document Type citations vary by document type For accurate and fair research assessment, citation data have to be normalized by discipline, year and publication type. For each article, the EXPECTED CITATION RATE is first calculated, then the normalized indicators.
