Two New Chinese University Associations
- Double First Class – Class A (36 universities in total)
- Double First Class – Class B (6 universities in total)
Updated Unified Publisher List
We revised the publisher names unified in the application.
Updates to the Funding Agencies
This data update for InCites Funding Agencies will bring with it re-balanced and more accurate unification, along with expanding the total number of Funders unified. This update was completed in order to bring the InCites Funding Agencies unification into parity with the Web of Science Funding Agencies unification, so Funders in InCites should have a similar number of papers unified in Web of Science and vice versa. More than 150 Funders in InCites will see at least one year of paper data double due to the new unification data, with 84 Funders seeing at least doubled paper counts. Very large and interconnected systems of Funders, like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA, will see the most increase in unified papers. There may be Funder name changes due to the data switchover. Additionally, some Funders will show decreases in their papers when compared to the previous data update. Please reach out to us if you need more information.

Happy new year!
We released the January data refresh today which includes Web of Science data up to the end of December 2020. Learn more about this refresh.
You can now download data for the Impact ProfileTM visualization, by selecting Download as Data:
The downloaded file contains document counts and average CNCI or JNCI values corresponding to each Impact Profile bucket.

- With this last release of the year, we introduce the option to update an existing analysis, in addition to Save as. You can change the filter combinations in a specific analysis (tile) and click Update Analysis, as indicated in the following screen capture, to save the visualization to your report. Or, click Add to Report to save the visualization as a separate analysis in your dashboard or custom report, as you would before today’s update.
- We released the December data refresh and updated the data update calendar for 2021. Except for December 2021, all data releases are scheduled for last Friday of the month. Learn more about the data.

Introducing the New Citation Topics Schema
In this release, we debut a new article-level classification schema, Citation Topics. Developed with the expertise of the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) in Leiden, this algorithmic classification schema produces the three-level hierarchy of topics based on citation relationships.
You can use the new citation schema in any analysis and select their level of detail from 10 broad macro topics, 326 meso topics, to 2444 granular micro topics.
Read more about Citation Topics.
Rename Journal Entity to Publication Sources
With this release, we renamed the Journal entity to Publication Sources to maintain consistency with the different data types available in the entity such as Books, Conference Proceedings, and Book Series in addition to Journals. We renamed a few filters and indicators in the application to maintain consistency with this update with no change in underlying functionality or definition.

We’re excited to announce that you can now click three additional indicators (Times Cited, Documents Cited, and 1 Year Citing All Prior Years Cumulative) so you can view underlying documents, download the list of documents as a CSV file, or export the first 50,000 documents to Web of Science for further analysis. With this release, you have access to citing documents which will help you to understand from where the citations are coming.
You can only click Times Cited and 1 Year Citing All Prior Years Cumulative indicators if the corresponding Web of Science Documents count is less than or equal to 50,000. In the following screen capture, because the Web of Science Documents count for Chinese Academy of Sciences is greater than 50,000, you’ll notice clicking Times Cited and 1 year citing all prior years cumulative is not an option.
The November data refresh was released today. View more information about this refresh.

New Feature
Source Type Filter and Indicator
The Journal entity consists of data from different publication sources such as Journals, Books, Book Series, and Conference Proceedings. Due to this setup, it was not evident to our users exactly which source type is used in their analysis nor was it possible for our users to include or exclude certain publication sources from their analysis. With this release, we have introduced a new Source Type filter in all entities that lets you choose a specific source type from the list.
There is also a new indicator called Source Type in the Journal entity that lets you view corresponding source types of a data entity.
User Feedback
Continuing our momentum with the new user experience release, the following enhancements, as suggested by our users, were implemented in this release:
- Horizontal scroll at the top of the data table
- Unfreeze the Rank indicator
- Ability to pick the visualization count directly

Today we are excited to release a new user experience for InCites! This update makes the platform more intuitive, inviting, and valuable to you and your organization! Review the release notes for this latest update.

The September data refresh was released today. View more information about this refresh.

We’re excited to release a new version of the application with the following updates:
Clickable Document Count Indicators in Baseline for All and Country/Region Baselines
As part of our data transparency initiative, you can access underlying document list for key document count indicators in Baseline for All items and Country/Region Baseline for pinned items. You can view underlying documents for the entire set, export documents to Web of Science, or download the document list.

The August data refresh was released today with an updated version of Australian FOR schema.

We’re excited to release a new version of the application with the following updates:
View in Web of Science - Export Documents from InCites to Web of Science
Each document list window will now have an option to export the first 50,000 documents from InCites to Web of Science. The View in Web of Science link displayed at the top right of the document list window will open the list of first 50,000 documents (based on user's sort) as a search to the current version of Web of Science, subject to your Web of Science entitlements. A pop-up page appears letting you know the possible differences between InCites data and the current data in Web of Science.
Filter on Unified Funding Agencies in All Entities
The Funding Agency filter exists in all entities and currently displays the funding agency name variants along with the corresponding unified items (except Funding Agency entity which displays only the unified funding agencies). With this release, an additional option in non-Funding Agency entities is available to limit your search to unified Funding Agencies, making it easier for you to search and filter on the unified funding agency data in other entities.
With the funding agency filter you can now filter on Unified funding agency names and All, which include unified names and the other variants.
When you select Unified, you can search on unified funding agencies; other variants are not visible.
When you select All, unified funding agency names display alphabetically at the top, followed by other funding agency variants also in alphabetical order:
Impact Profile™ Visualization Tooltip
Continuing our momentum with the Impact Profile™ visualization enhancements, you can now see the raw document count for each Impact Profile™ bucket in the tooltip. This makes it easier to compare Web of Science documents in each bucket of the visualization.

We identified major issues with the data mappings in the following two China SCADC schemas released on August 6, 2020. As such, we have taken them offline for further analysis. Thank you for your patience as we identify and fix the relevant issues.
The following two schemas won’t be available in the product until further notice:
- China SCADC Subject Broad 12
- China SCADC Subject Narrow 96

We are excited to release an updated version of the China SCADC schemas with a Journal-based classification and additional categories. Review the China SCADC subject categories help page for more information.

The July data refresh was released today with the following updates:
- Updated the Web of Science Author Search (beta) data in InCites to include the author profiles linked to a non-unified organization. These profiles will appear with n/a affiliation in InCites data.
- Implemented a clear policy to classify and aggregate unified organizations in InCites drawing on best practices in bibliometrics (e.g., The challenge of identifying universities for a global university ranking, Elizondo et al, 2016 – Leiden Ranking). We have classified all unified Organization into the following 11 types:
- Academic
- Academic System
- Corporate
- Government
- Health
- Healthcare System
- National Academy
- Nonprofit
- Partnership
- Research Council
- Research Institute
We have also deprecated the following organization types:
- Funder
- Group
- Museum
- Observatory
- Unspecified
View the complete list of unified organizations with new and previous classification types.
We are working on some exciting new updates for the following two schemas and have temporarily disabled them in the application. We will be releasing an updated version (with more categories and coverage) of these schemas around August 6, 2020.
- China SCADC Subject Broad 12
- China SCADC Subject Narrow 77
Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

We are excited to release an update today with the following features:
New Visualizations: Impact Profile™
The Impact Profile™ visualization was part of the ISI report Profiles, not metrics released in 2019. We are happy to bring this visualization in to InCites with this release. Please review our recommendations page for examples and best practices to interpret this visualization.
Some key points to consider:
- Available in Organizations, Locations, Journals, and Funding Agency entities
- Can compare up to five names from the underlying data table
- Can compare data from Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) and Journal Normalized Citation Impact (JNCI) indicators only. These indicators must be added in the data table below for the Impact Profile option to be visible in the visualization drop-down
Baseline for Pinned Items: Clickable Document Count Indicators
As part of our data transparency initiative, users can access the underlying document list for key document count indicators in Baseline for Pinned Items.
Extend Author Position to Locations Entity
We are extending the Author Position features to Locations entity with this release. The six new indicators along with the filtering capability, currently available in Researcher and Organizations entity, are now available in Locations entity. This will help you analyze the number of documents produced by first, last and corresponding author positions in a specific location.

We are pleased to release a data update with the latest 2019 JCR data (JCR release June 29, 2020). The rest of the parameters, including the Web of Science Core Collection extraction date, remains unchanged.
Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

This data release does not contain the new JCR 2019 data released in June 2020. We will release another InCites data update around mid-July with this new JCR data.
Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

WoS Author Records (beta)
With this release, we’re introducing an additional way to search for a researcher using the Web of Science Author Searchbeta data in the Person and Collaboration with Person filters, in all entities of InCites B&A. This feature allows you to evaluate the entire output and impact of an author and accurately compare and benchmark their research performance.
When WoS Author Record (beta) is selected under Person Name or ID, you can start typing the last or first names of the author and the type-ahead function will show you different options available with the most recent affiliation from the InCites dataset.
Learn more about WoS Author Records (beta).

Following up on our last release where we introduced four new indicators as part of our data transparency initiative, we are excited to release another update today to give you access to underlying papers that contribute to more document count indicators. With this release, you can now click the following indicators to view and download the document list.
- Documents in JIF Journals
- Documents in Q1 Journals
- Documents in Q2 Journals
- Documents in Q3 Journals
- Documents in Q4 Journals
- Highly Cited Papers
- International Collaboration

Earlier this year, we kicked off our Data Transparency initiative to give you access to underlying papers that contribute to our document count indicators. We are happy to release the first iteration of this project today with the following new indicators, which are complementary to the % indicators existing in the application. These indicators are in addition to the current % indicators and allow you to view and visualize the data and export the underlying documents.
Indicator Name | Description |
---|---|
Documents in top 1% | Papers in the top 1% based on citations by category, year, and document type |
Documents in top 10% | Papers in the top 10% based on citations by category, year, and document type |
Industry Collaboration | Papers that have co-authors from industry |
Hot Papers | Papers that are assigned as Hot Papers in ESI (top 0.1% by citations for field and age) |
In the next few releases, we will extend this capability to other document count indicators such as International Collaboration, Highly Cited Papers, and Documents in JIF, Q1-Q4 indicators.

The following changes are included in this data release:
- Updates to ANVUR category schema
-
Added the following organizations to Japan: National University Organization Association:

Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

The InCites team is very excited to release the following features with today’s update:
Author Position Analysis
Using this feature, you can analyze the position of an author (or its affiliation) listed on a document published on or after 2008. Six new indicators are available to analyze the documents and the % contributions in first, last and corresponding (or reprint) author positions.
The first-listed author is not always responsible for most of the research reported. Publication and citation analysis based on straight countingused to describe schemes where sole credit is given to a single author: first, last, or corresponding, including first-author counts, is a biased sampling procedure that does not represent best practice in scientometrics and is invalid in fields that conventionally use alphabetic ordering (e.g. astronomy, mathematics). Please review our recommendations help page.
More information is available on our Working with Author Positions help page.
Now on InCites: A new experience for Department Report
Following up on the new experience for Organization and Researcher Report, we are excited to bring a new experience for Department Report. This report is only available to our My Organization users and is used to analyze the one or more Departments within the My Organization dataset.
Overview
Our new Department report can be easily found using the Report drop-down or from the landing page together with the other system reports.
Streamlined Structure
The structure within this report is streamlined, making it clear what you can learn from each analysis in the report. It organizes analysis thematically into several tabs, including research output, collaboration, and most cited documents. Some content within each tab is further organized with section titles.
New Functionality
It is now possible to adjust the date range and include or exclude ESCI in the new system report.
For more information please review our detailed release notes.

Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

Now on InCites: A new experience for Researcher Report
With this release, we are excited to bring a new experience for Researcher Report.
Overview
Researcher report provide a quick overview of a one or more Researchers. They’re pre-built with analysis that answer specific questions.
Streamlined Structure
The structure within this report is streamlined, making it clear what you can learn from each analysis in the report. It organizes analysis thematically into several tabs, including research output, collaboration, and most cited documents. Some content within each tab is further organized with section titles.
Name Selection
As with the current Researcher Report, you can search a person using their ORCID or a Web of Science ResearcherID.
If you are a My Organization subscriber, you can use the “Dataset” toggle to point to your My Organization dataset to analyze your Researchers using their name.
New Functionality
It is now possible to adjust the date range and include or exclude ESCI in the new system report
Please review our detailed release notes.

We are pleased to release a new version of the InCites application today with the following enhancements:
- Visualization export includes Title and Dataset details. Download as an Image file (PNG file) now includes the chart title and the footer containing the export parameters. This is similar to the details available in Download as a PDF option.
- Limit the years in Trend and 5-year Trend Graph for JCR indicators to 1997-JCR year (2018). InCites includes key JCR indicator data since 1997. However, the trend graphs and 5-year Trend graphs plot the data from 1980 till 2020, leading to undesired results. Therefore, we are limiting these trend graphs to 1997-JCR year only. The current JCR year is 2018. This change will be visible on:
- Trend Graph
- 5 Year Trend Graph
- Tiles in new Organization report
This change does not affect the date ranges in explorer or the Trend data export from the data table.

Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

We’re pleased to release a new version of the InCites application today with the following new features:
Polish PL19 Category Schema
For more information, visit our PL19 Category Schema page.
Publisher Unification
Publisher filter exists in all entities and currently displays the publisher name variants. For example, a search for Elsevier displays several variants, making it impossible to analyze the Publisher as a whole. A more comprehensive solution is to unify these variants under a single name like Organization or Funding Agencies, allowing users to analyze their complete dataset.
With this release, we attempted to unify the Publisher Name variants with a Unified Publisher name, making is easier for you to analyze the Publisher in our product. The Publisher filter now allows you to filter Unified publisher names and All, which includes Unified names and the other variants currently existing in the product:
When you select Unified, you can only search unified publisher names; other variants are not visible:
When you select All, Unified Publisher names are displayed at the top alphabetically followed by other publisher variants alphabetically:
We have appended Unified at the end of each unified name for users to identify the unified names among with variants. This new Publisher filter is available in all entities. Access the list of available unified Publisher names.
UI enhancements
This release also contains enhancements to the UI visualizations:
- Increase the font size on legend and scale in all visualization
- Simplified scale - K to denote thousands and M to denote Millions
- Export visualization as an Image (PNG File) - for Non-IE11 users only
Tab Access to My Folders
Now you can conveniently locate My Folder and access your saved datasets:

Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

We have identified quality issues with the February data refresh released on February 27 and have restored the January data today.

Revised release date for February data refresh is Saturday March 7, 2020.

Continuing with our enhancements to the product, we’re pleased to release a new version of the application today with the following new features:
NOT filter for all fields
We understand your need to filter on and exclude certain data points from your analysis. Based on the feedback received, we’re happy to extend this support for all other fields, including collaboration fields.
Display et al. in documents window and export file
The Latin phrase et al. means “and others,” and most commonly indicates other contributors (authors, editors, etc.) in a bibliographic list, such as “Feynman, Hawking, Sagan, et al.”
We will display the phrase "et al." in the application for documents that have more than five authors.
In our previous release on January 29, 2020, we improved the current export feature allowing you to export the first 200 author names on a document. For documents with more than 200 authors, we added the phrase et al. in the export file:
Share feedback
We have also made it easier for you to submit feedback. Please use the Share Feedback link highlighted below to submit your comments. We look forward to hearing from you!

Now on InCites: A new experience for system reports
With this release, we’re excited to bring a new experience for System Reports starting with a new report called Organization Report.
Overview
System reports provide a quick overview of a topic. They’re pre-built with analysis that answer specific questions. You can use a system report to kickstart a custom report or share with a colleague to show them how they could benefit from InCites.
Streamlined Structure
The structure within this report is streamlined, making it clear what you can learn from each analysis in the report. It organizes analysis thematically into several tabs, including research performance, collaboration, and most cited documents. Some content within each tab is further organized with section titles.
Name Selection
As with the current experience, the system report initially provides a sample name, such as Harvard University. If the user enters a different value, the system report remembers that value.
New Functionality
It is now possible to adjust the date range and include or exclude ESCI in the new system report.
For more information, read our detailed release notes.

We are excited to bring you new enhancements and features throughout 2020. With this release, you can export the first 200 author names from the document list window, which was previously restricted to the first 5 author names. This export enhancement covers about 99.99% of the documents in InCites that have 200 authors or less.
The Document list window will continue to display the first 5 author names for a document due to limited real estate.
Information on the latest release of the InCites dataset can be found on the dataset updates page.

Happy New Year!!!
With this first release of 2020, we are adding a new category schema called RIS3 (Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialization).
