AcademicSstaff / Undergraduate Degrees Awarded

This is sometimes referred to as a "staff-student-ratio" and an indication of the student environment. Its value is the quotient obtained by dividing the number of academic staff by the number of undergraduate degrees awarded.

Academic Staff - International / Academic Staff

The proportion of the academic faculty that are of international origin. This is an indicator of the institution’s ability to attract staff from a global environment. 

Affiliation

Researchers affiliated organization.

Article Influence

Determines the average influence of a journal's articles over the first five years after publication.  It's calculated  by multiplying the Eigenfactor  by 0.01 and dividing by the number of articles in the journal, normalized as a fraction of all articles in all publications. This measure is roughly analogous to the 5-Year Journal Impact Factor in that it is a ratio of a journal’s citation influence to the size of the journal’s article contribution over a period of five years. 

The equation is as follows:  where X =5-year Journal Article Count divided by the 5-year Article Count from All Journals.

The mean Article Influence  for each article is 1.00. A score greater than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal has above-average influence. A score less than 1.00 indicates that each article in the journal has below-average influence.

Average Citations

Mean value or the quotient obtained by dividing the sum total of citations in the dataset by the number of citing articles.

Average Percentile

Average (mean) of the percentiles for all publications.

Baseline

A baseline is the average performance of a global set of publications with the same subject area, document type and year.

Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI)

The CNCI of a set of documents, for example the collected works of an individual, institution or country/region, is the average of the CNCI values for all the documents in the set. It's calculated by dividing the actual count of citing items by the expected citation rate for documents with the same document type, year of publication and subject area. When a document is assigned to more than one subject area an average of ratios of the actual to expected citations is used.

CNCI is a valuable and unbiased indicator of impact irrespective of age, subject focus of document type. A CNCI value of 1 represents performance at par with world average, values above 1 are considered above average and values below 1 are considered below average.

Category Normalized Citation Impact

Citation impact (citations per paper) normalized for subject, year and document type

Category Normalized Citation Impact - Country/Region Adjusted

This is a modification of the category normalized citation impact to take into account the country/region where the institution is based. This reflects the fact that in some regions will have different publication and citation behavior because of factors such as policy, language and size of the research network. The indicator is calculated as the category normalized citation impact of the institution divided by the square root of the category normalized citation impact of the country/region in which it is based.  

Citation Impact

The citation impact of a set of documents is calculated by dividing the total number of citations by the total number of publications. Citation impact shows the average number of citations that a document has received.

Cited Half-life

Median age of the articles that were cited in the JCR year. Half of a journal's cited articles were published more recently than the cited half-life.

Cumulative Probability

Cumulative probability is a statistical method of representing a single value within a normally distributed set of data.

For example, if the value of research income for a given institution is $443,500,650 and its cumulative probability score is 90, then there is a 90% chance that the research income of a randomly selected institution will be less than $443,500,650.

These programs are devoted to advanced study and original research and will lead to an advanced research qualification. This will include advanced degrees that include a significant taught component such as a Medical Doctorate , Doctor of Law or Doctor of Engineering and equivalents.

Documents in JIF Journals

Documents published in a journal found in Journal Citation Reports in a given year.

Documents in Q1 – Q4

Number of documents that appear in a journal in a particular Journal Impact Factor Quartile in a given year. For instance, if a value of 100 is displayed, it indicates that 100 documents in the set were published in journals of the specified Journal Impact Factor Quartile in that year.

InCites uses the best quartile for journals that appear in multiple Web of Science Research Areas. When a research area is specified, the quartile for that particular journal and research area is used.

Eigenfactor®

The Eigenfactor® calculation is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also considers which journals have contributed these citations so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactors® are not influenced by journal self-citation. 

ESI Most Cited

Organizations that are the most cited and therefore included in ESI.

Finances

A set of indicators reflecting the financial performance of the institution.

• Institutional income
• Research income
• Institutional income / students - total
• Institutional income / academic staff
• Research income / academic staff
• Papers / research income
• Research income / papers

5-Year Journal Impact Factor

The average number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years were cited in the JCR year. It's calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years

Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)

A measure of the number of hours worked by an employee considered full-time by an institution. If an institution defines full-time as 40-hours a week, then an employee who works 40 hours/week is 1 FTE. An employee who works 20 hours a week is 0.5 FTE. 

Highly Cited Paper

A paper that belongs to the top 1% of papers in a research field published in a specified year. The 1% is determined by the highly cited threshold calculated for the research field in the specified year.

Highly Cited Papers

Papers (articles and reviews) that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year

H-Index

The h-index is based on a list of publications ranked in descending order by Times Cited. The value of h is equal to the number of papers (N) in the list that have N or more citations.

For example, an h-index of 12 indicates that in the dataset, 12 papers were cited at least 12 times each.

Immediacy Index

The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published.

• The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited.
• The aggregate Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a subject category are cited.

The Immediacy Index is calculated by dividing the number of citations to articles published in a given year by the number of articles published in that year.

Because it is a per-article average, the Immediacy Index tends to discount the advantage of large journals over small ones. However, frequently issued journals may have an advantage because an article published early in the year has a better chance of being cited than one published later in the year. Many publications that publish infrequently or late in the year have low Immediacy Indexes.

For comparing journals specializing in cutting-edge research, the immediacy index can provide a useful perspective.

Journal Expected Citations

Average number of citations to articles of the same document type from the same journal in the same database year.

You can compare an article’s citation count to this norm by forming a ratio of actual citations to expected citations--the Journal Actual/Expected Citations ratio. A ratio greater than 1 indicates that the article's citation count is better than average.

For example, the average number of citations received by an article published in 2004 in the journal Circulation is 55.34. This number is the journal expected citations. If an article published in Circulation in 2004 has received 30 citations, the ratio of actual citations to expected citations is .54, indicating a below-average citation count.

On many reports, the Journal Actual/Expected Citations ratio is an aggregate ratio: the denominator (expected citations) is the sum of the expected citations of all journals that the documents were published in. The numerator (actual citations) is the sum of the citation counts of the documents themselves. Division of the sums yields the number shown.

Journal Impact Factor

The Journal Impact Factor is defined as all citations to the journal in the current JCR year to items published in the previous two years, divided by the total number of scholarly items (these comprise articles, reviews, and proceedings papers) published in the journal in the previous two years.

Though not a strict mathematical average, the Journal Impact Factor provides a functional approximation of the mean citation rate per citable item.  A Journal Impact Factor of 1.0 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited one time.  A Journal Impact Factor of 2.5 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited two and a half times.  The citing works may be articles published in the same journal.  However, most citing works are from different journals, proceedings, or books indexed in Web of Science.

Journal Impact Factor Quartile

The Journal Impact Factor quartile is the quotient of a journal’s rank in category (X) and the total number of journals in the category (Y), so that (X / Y) = Percentile Rank Z.

Q1	0.0 < Z ≤ 0.25
Q2	0.25 < Z ≤ 0.5
Q3	0.5 < Z ≤ 0.75
Q4	0.75 < Z

InCites displays the best quartile for journals that appear in multiple Web of Science Research Areas. When a research area is specified, the quartile for that particular journal and research area is displayed.

Normalized Citation Impact

Measures the quotient of an observed citation rate or impact of an institution and an expected citation rate for the institution or country/region. i.e. it compares the performance of an institution to the average performance of the world .

Source: Bibliometric Analysis

Value: Normalized citation impact

Score: Cumulative probability score of the value. Scores can range from 1-100.

Normalized Indicators

Some indicators include the suffix “normalized." This indicates that the indicator has been modified to overcome differences in subjects. The normalized indicator is calculated as the weighted average of the relative performance in each subject area. This is a three step process:

1. The inter-quartile mean of the performance of all institutions is calculated for each subject.
2. The performance of the institution in each subject is divided by the inter-quartile mean of the subject. This results in a relative indicator for that subject.
3. The weighted average of the institution’s performance across subjects (Overall) is calculated using the value of the denominator as the weighting factor.
   
   For example for the indicator “papers / academic staff” the number of academic staff in each subject is used as the weighting factor to calculate the average of the relative indicators. 

The normalized indicator for a single subject is the relative indicator as described in step 2. 

Organization Type

Type of organization.

Papers / Million Research Income

Cost effectiveness of the research activity as a measure of output (papers) divided by input (funding). Its value is the product of the following formula: (number of papers/research income) * 1,000,000.

Papers with International Co-author / Papers – Total

The proportion of the papers authored by the institution that contain a co-author from a country/region other than the country/region in which the institution is based. This is an indicator of the institution’s ability to collaborate in a global environment.

Percentile in Subject Area

The percentile in which the paper ranks in its category, document type and database year, based on total citations received by the paper. The higher the number of citations, the larger the percentile number. The top ranked documents will have the highest percentile. Documents in the top 10% will be in the 90–100th percentiles. Documents with a percentile of 99 will be ranked higher than the other 99%.

In the document list view, subject areas are sorted by the corresponding paper's performance in that subject area, so that the first listed subject area corresponds to the percentile in subject area indicator.

Purchasing Power Parity

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) adjusts the exchange rate between currencies by taking into account the actual cost to purchase the same goods in the home countries of the currencies. InCites uses Purchasing Power Parity data from the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook Database (Surveys 2010) to convert the value of monetary indicators such as research income into U.S. dollars.
