What's New

Increased export and custom dataset capbilities

Create custom datasets of up to 150,000 Web of Science documents by directly exporting the document set from Web of Science to InCites or by uploading the dataset. Before, the maximum custom dataset size was 50,000 records.

Hot Papers and Highly Cited Papers expanded view

Know in which ESI bi-monthly an article has been selected as Hot or Highly Cited Paper. The ESI bimonthly will be available inside the indicators' document list, the trend chart tooltip and the reports' most cited document lists.

We are starting with the 5th bimonthly 2022 and will continue adding bimonthly information in future. We have also removed the 10 years limitation for Highly Cited and Hot Papers assessment, meaning that in future it is possible to assess these indicators in Incites from the 5th ESI bimonthly of 2022 onwards. The Highly Cited and Hot Papers calculations have not changed.

Create collections of publication sources

Create collections of publications sourcse and have them available for future analysis. Learn more here.

Hot Papers and Highly Cited Papers

The two indicators have been added to Publication Sources explorer to help with the journal assessment. In addition, Hot and Highly Cited Papers are identified in the Most Cited Documents list available in the Researcher, Organization and Publisher Reports.

Improvement in the multi-indicator trend graph

Select and compare indicators in the same order they appear in the analysis table. As the most frequently used indicators, Web of Science Documents or Times Cited in the absence of the first one, continue being the default indicators, whereas all other indicators are available in the drop-down menu as they are in the analysis table to make the selection easier.

Improvements in accessibility

With the objective of making InCites more accessible, we have changed the color palette of the visualizations to be colorblind friendly. You will also find some enhancements in the indicator panel appearance to identify them more easily and improvements in the labeling for screen readers.

These two indicators are added to help with the evaluation of the self-citation impact. To know more about these two new indicators, click here.

Drag indicators and drop them to the table or visuals

Drag indicators from the list on the left menu and drop them on the table or visual to add them to the list.

When the indicator drops into the table, a new column is added with the indicator data. When the indicator is added to the visual, it will be available to select in the chart.

Share custom datasets with your colleagues in InCites

You can now share your datasets that you have imported from Web of Science or created directly in InCites with your colleagues. This will be an easier way to share your work with your team and collaborate within the tool.

To do this, you have to select the dataset from your folder and click on the share option. After introducing the recipients’ email, the dataset will be shared with them.

As recipient, you will receive an email informing you about who has sent you the dataset and the message, if added. You will find a hyperlink, and by clicking it you automatically navigate to your folders in InCites, with the new dataset.

As a recipient of a custom dataset you will see the sender's email as owner. You can use it and create reports, rename, export or delete it, however you are not able to share the dataset with others. Only the owner, the person who created the dataset, is allowed to continue sharing it.

There is a limit of 50 datasets users can store. When the limit is reached, you will see the shared dataset grayed in the folder, and it is disabled until another dataset is deleted. You can also delete the shared dataset to use later.

LEAGUE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES - LERU is listed as an Association

LERU was previously listed as an Organization.

Increase on the number of items in visualizations

The maximum number of items in visualization has increased up to 25 in all charts where the previous maximum was 15 items, allowing more items to be represented for a better comparison.

Unifying scales for percentage and normalized indicators in the multi-indicator trend graph

All percentage indicators and all normalized indicators will use unified scales when more of one of these indicators are selected in the multi-indicator trend graph, reducing the number of scales represented.

When multiple percentage indicators are selected, the scale will show up in black color and it will be applied to all of these indicators. Same for the normalized indicators as CNCI, JCI and JNCI. The scale for percentage indicators will show % values to easily distinguish it.

Display multiple affiliations for Researchers

You can now see all past affiliations of a researcher on the respective Researcher module in InCites. When selecting a researcher for analysis, add the “Affiliation” indicator. If the researcher has more than one affiliation, you will see a hyperlink with “+ X affiliations” where X is the number of additional affiliations found in Web of Science publications.

Clicking on the link will expand that cell to display all known affiliations of that researcher.

The same applies for "Country or Region" indicator.

Move multiple items simultaneously

Same as the delete option, now is possible to select multiple items in the folder and move to one location to another.

WoS Author Record affiliations

This month InCites dataset update includes a change on the affiliations associated to the WoS Author Records. With the current update, WoS Author Records are connected to the latest organization the researchers have published, regardless of the hierarchy level of the organization.

2021 JCR

The dataset update includes the 2021 JCR.

Average Journal Impact Factor Percentile filter in Publication Sources

The metric Average Journal Impact Factor Percentile filter has been added to filters in the Publication Sources explorer. The Average Journal Impact Factor Percentile takes the sum of the JIF Percentile for each category, and then calculates the average from those values.

Groups

Groups feature allows to put up to 100 entities under the same group and to obtain metrics as a single entity. Groups can be created in all the context and datasets, up to 20 per context. Learn more about it at the Groups page.

Citations from Patents indicator displays the number of citations a set of publications has received from patents indexed in Derwent™ Innovation.

Delete items in bulk from Organize - My items

It is possible to delete multiple items from Folder by selecting them using the check box that is placed next to each item. In the case all items want to be selected, clicking the check box beside the Title column will select all the folders, datasets and reports saved. After it, a delete option will appear on the bottom of the table that will enable the simultaneous deletion.

The traditional option to delete individual items is maintained. Once an item is deleted it cannot be restored.

Location suggestions after selecting a Location Type option in the Locations explorer

Before, the suggested searches that InCites proposed after start typing the location were common for all location types. Now the suggestions are specific for the location type selected. This means that, for Country/Regions all the suggestions are at country/region level, and in a similar way they are specific for Country Group, State/Province and NUTS options.

Citation Topics re-clustering and UN Sustainable Development Goals mapping update

The Citation Topics schema has been updated as part of the annual re-clustering based on documents citations. The 2022 schema update is available on the Citation Topics page. As result the SDG to Micro-Topic mapping has been updated as well, and the new mapping is available to download in the UN Sustainable Development Goals schema page.

1 year citing all previous years cumulative indicator changes name to Cumulative Citations per Year

The "1 year citing all previous years cumulative" indicator, available in the Organizations explorer has been renamed to "Cumulative Citations per Year". The metric calculation has not changed.

Grant Award Start and End Dates filter added to the Researchers explorer

The Grant Award Start and End Dates filter has been added to the Researchers module, what makes this filter available in all the explorers. When Funding Agency is selected as Funding Data Source, the new filter is added making possible to scroll and select specific Grant Award Start and End years.

Internal collaboration option in the Organizations explorer, Domestic / International collaboration filter

In the Organizations explorer, when the Domestic / International collaboration filter was selected there were 3 options available: Domestic, International and None. None option was filtering according collaborations within the same organization. Now, the None option has been replaced by Internal in order to make the filtering more intuitive.

Hiding of bars in the Bar graph

When data is being visualized in Bar graphs it is possible to hide specific bars from the visualization by clicking on the legend label to be hided. In the example below, USA and Spain bars are hided.

Organization Type filter for Research Areas and Location modules

A new filter for Organization Type has been added to Research Areas and Location modules. This new filter option is available inside the Organization Name main filter.

Improved heatmap in Organization Report

Collaborations by Country and Research Area heatmap, in Organization Report, has been updated to an improved format (using AMCharts) that avoids overlaps of the category labels with the data, and features tooltips background intensities in accordance with data values.

ShanghaiRanking GRAS

Research Areas module includes a new schema for Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS), called Shanghai GRAS. This new schema is based on the mapping of WoS categories to the 54 academic subjects across Natural Sciences, Engineering, Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences.

Grant Award Start and End Dates filter in additional modules

The Grant Award Start and End Dates filter, available only in the Funding Agencies module until now, has been added to the Publication Sources, Research Areas, Locations and Organizations modules. In these contexts, when Funding Agency is selected as Funding Data Source, the new filter is added making possible to scroll and select specific Grant Award Start and End years.

Connecting Organizations with the Organizations report

An hyperlink has been added to each Organization Name, in the Analyze - Organizations module. This hyperlink connects the analysis context with the specific organization's report in one click. The organization report will be according the filters and dataset selected in the analysis context.

Sustainable Development Goals

New Research Area schema based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)1 to 16 from the United Nations. This new schema is based on category-to-category mapping where SDGs are mapped to sets of related Micro Citation Topics. Each Micro Citation Topic was assigned to only one of the 1 to 16 SDGs.

Treemap visualization has been adapted to each SDG appearance.

Citation Topics Hierarchy views

On the Research Area module, the hierarchy view has been added for the Citation Topics schema. Arrows are available next to each Citation Topic. By clicking in the arrow beside each Macro Citation Topic, the view expands, and the corresponding Meso Citation Topics are displayed below the Macros. Similarly, for a Meso Citation Topic, corresponding Micro Citation Topics are displayed. The hierarchy view can be collapsed if not needed.

New Global Header and Footers

The header and footer have been updated to match the header and footer across Clarivate’s products. The Product hub and spoke is moved to the right top of the header and the list of products are shown vertically.

Addition of Funding Grants information

Two new filters and three indicators have been added to InCites B&A. Now, it is possible to explore grants filtering by Grant Number and Grant Award start and end dates in the Funding Agencies module. The new indicators added are the Total Grant Award Amount, Number of Grants and the Currency.

New tiles added to Publisher Report

On the Publisher Report, under the tab "Organization publishing output with publisher", 2 new tiles have been added to demonstrate the share of the output of the selected institution on the total output of that publisher.

Citation Impact added to Publication sources

The Citation Impact has been added as an indicator to the Publication Sources module.

Word cloud - a new visualization on your reports

On the Publisher Report, Researcher Report and Organization Report, a new word cloud visualization is now available. This will allow you to quickly understand the topics of research of a particular researcher, organization or publisher. The topics displayed are Micro Citation Topics, available on the Research Areas module.

JIF Rank added to Publication sources

The Journal Impact Factor rank has been added to the Publication Sources module. When a journal is indexed in more than one category, the one in which the journal is best placed will be displayed.

Web of Science Categories on Publication sources

The Publication Sources module now has a new indicator for Web of Science (WoS) Categories. These are useful for context on the journal metrics impacted by the categories. These categories will remain WoS categories even when the schema has been changed.

Early access content

Early access documents are now included in InCites analysis by default. If you want to remove them from the data, you can untick the relevant option under the "Publication Sources" filter.

Domnino Tiles

New tiles have been added to the Publisher Report to provide a quick glance at the number of Non-Open Access and Open Access documents along with the breakdown per type of Open Access.

Author positions on Research Areas Module

The Author Position indicators are now available for use within the Research Areas module. This will allow you to filter on publications where an author from the organization selected on the filter is the first, last or corresponding author within that specific Research Area, regardless of the schema you are using.

Indicators for share of the total baseline

3 new indicators are now available in InCites, both for documents and for citations:

• % Global Baseline
• % Baseline for All Items
• % Baseline for Pinned Items

These indicators will help you understand the share of output compared to the total. For example you can see the share of documents in Political Science from Sweden compared to the global baseline of Political Science,

Additional use cases for these indicators include assessing the share of outputs of an institution within a research area compared to the total of that same area, or understanding the share of publications of a publisher within a particular research area.

Improved trend graphs

The 1- and 5-year trend graphs have been updated to a new improved format (using AMCharts) featuring smoothed lines and interactivity (hover to see more detail, zoom within the graph, add and remove items with the clickable legend).

These two new graphs replace the old versions. The download option supports PNG, JPG and PDF (at an improved resolution).

Multi-indicator trend graph

This new graph uses the same format as the improved trend graphs and includes the same interactivity features. Use the multi-indicator trend graph to analyze any item across multiple indicators (only one item from the data table can be added, where necessary add the relevant item to a pinned list, otherwise the top-ranked item will be displayed in the visualization).

Up to five indicators can be added. Web of Science document count indicators will display on the same axis to support comparisons, other indicators will display on independent axes.

To illustrate the use of this new visualization, compare open access output for any entity, previously there was no simple visual way to understand this, now with the new multi-indicator graph, all five open access indicators can be added to the same graph.

The multi-indicator trend graph also lets users, for example, compare document output and impact trends on the same graph.

To illustrate the use of this new visualization, compare open access output for any entity, previously there was no simple visual way to understand this, now with the new multi-indicator graph, all five open access indicators can be added to the same graph.

Journal Citation Indicator Quartile

The JCI Quartile is now available as a filter to apply in any analysis, returning documents in the selected quartile. Unlike JIF Quartile (SCIE and SSCI titles only), this will return results for all journals in SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, and ESCI with a JCI.

Journal Impact Factor display improvements

InCites will now display all JIF indicators in the standard three decimal places format to align with our standard practice and the Journal Citation Reports. We have also taken the opportunity to rename the Quartile indicator to JIF Quartile to avoid confusion with JCI Quartile.

New Green Submitted indicator

Earlier this summer, the Web of Science introduced a new open access type: green submitted. These are published documents with a submitted version in a green repository. Green submitted documents are publicly available versions of published manuscripts that lack changes from peer review and any publisher input. As with our other open access types, this data is provided by Our Research (UnPaywall).

Submitted are now available in InCites as both indicators and an open access filter.

Updated open access labels

Open access is now defined by both the Web of Science and InCites in the following categories:

• Gold (formerly DOAJ gold)

  We have ceased using DOAJ as a source for identifying gold journals owing to data changes (they have removed the gold first published date) – we now take gold status from Our Research (UnPaywall). These are documents published in gold open access titles (for example, PLOS One, Scientific Reports). Gold is defined by the documents having an open licence (Creative Commons).

• Gold - Hybrid (former Other Gold)

  We have redefined these as hybrid – documents published in a non-gold journal with an open licence.

• Free to Read (formerly Bronze)

  These are publicly accessible documents on a publisher's site with no identifiable open licence. Many publishers will release content after an embargo period or allow a limited period of free access post-publication, so this category may change over time.

• Green Published (unchanged)

  Final published versions hosted in a green repository (usually after an embargo period), e.g. in PubMed Central.

• Green Accepted (unchanged)

  Accepted versions of manuscripts in a green repository (often without copy and other editing, and with no publisher typesetting).

• Green Submitted (new)

  Described above.

Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) and JCI Quartile

These two new indicators are now available in InCites Publication Sources explorer.

Journal Citation Indicators are available from 2017 onwards. If a multi-year range is applied, the latest JCI and JCI quartile will display. Date ranges before 2017 will return n/a (we will, in a future release, display the most recent JCI to make the behaviour of these indicators consistent with the JIF indicators).

We will be adding JCI Rank and JCI Percentile in a future release. If there is interest in have JIF rank and percentile (not currently available in InCites), please let me know, as we are building new logic to support category-specific indicators (and display the values for the top-ranked category).

Intra-organization collaborations

A new option to show documents with two or more authors from the same organization that are not marked as an international or domestic collaboration. Filter analyses on 'none' to show these documents or use the two new indicators to identify the total number or percentage of intra-organization collaborations in an analysis.

The June data refresh has been released today, which includes Web of Science data up to the end of June 2021. Learn more about this refresh.

Publisher Report

We have a new system report available to all InCites users from the Reports tab. This quickly shows the strengths of any publisher and their impact with a given organization – ideal for both organizations to understand how their researchers interact with a publisher and for a publisher to demonstrate and understand their output, and the springboard to deeper analyses with the full suite of InCites tools.

We have a new system report available to all InCites users from the Reports tab. This quickly shows the strengths of any publisher and their impact with a given organization – ideal for both organizations to understand how their researchers interact with a publisher and for a publisher to demonstrate and understand their output, and the springboard to deeper analyses with the full suite of InCites tools.

The report currently features four tabs:

Publishing Output – this profiles the selected publisher's (add one or more, and use individual or unified publisher names) output by topic and shows overall publication trends and contributions by JIF quartile. This quickly captures the subject focus of the publisher and whether they're growing or shrinking, and the impact they're having.

Open Access – this shows overall trends for all publicly available content from the publisher and the gold open-access trend along with a subject breakdown. Are they focusing on open access and in which topics?

Most Cited Documents – a list of the top documents from the publisher during the reporting period. A second organization filter is supported to show just those documents with authors affiliated with the selected organization. Quickly identify an organization's best papers with that publisher.

Organization Publication Profile – see the publisher's output focused by an organization – currently with an open access breakdown and overall open access trend. In a future release, we will be adding 'share' tiles showing the proportions of total publisher output by authors from that organization (we will be adding a set of 'baseline share' indicators to support this - these will also be available throughout InCites).

The publisher report isn't an endpoint, we will be adding new tiles to the report in future releases – notably to the organization publication profile, so we encourage user feedback, which you can provide using the feedback option on the question mark on the bottom right corner of the main interface.

The report is also part of our Collections Management strategy which comprises:

• New open access indicators (non-open access and green only)

• Support for both ISSN and eISSN

• Multi-copy and paste for ISSN/eISSNs

• The first iteration of the Publisher Report (this release)

• Baseline share indicators (future release)

• Collection builder – create and analyze collections by uploading lists of ISSN/eISSNs (future release)

• Additional tiles for Publisher Report (future release)

Support for More Custom Datasets

Prior to this release, InCites supported up to 20 custom datasets (either exported from the Web of Science or directly uploaded) – from later today InCites will support up to 50 custom datasets. This addresses a common request from users for increased numbers of datasets.

To support this, we have also made some changes to the Folders page to introduce a scrolling display so users can see all their datasets, folders, and reports.

The InCites dataset is now updated with Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2020 data released on June 30, 2021.

We have also released the June data refresh today, which includes Web of Science data up to the end of May 2021. Learn more about this refresh.

An updated version of the Treemap visualization was released today that supports up to 100 data points.

Within the Citation Topics Schema in Research Area entity, the Treemap visualization also allows you to access the underlying children of a category. This is immensly helpful when you are analyzing a Macro or a Meso topic and want to view the immediate lower level children of the category.

We are excited to release the following new features today along with the data update.

"Standard" percentiles

We inverted the current percentiles to the standard definition (larger percentiles are better) and brought InCites into alignment with Web of Science. This change effects Percentile in Subject Area and Average Percentile indicators in the product.

New Filter: Top % Documents

To complement the changes to the percentile described above, we have added a new user-defined filter to set the top X% of documents for an analysis. You can choose any values from 1 to 100 and limit your analysis to top % of documents. For example: Selecting 5 will filter on top 5% of the documents. Selecting 15 will filter on top 15% of the documents and so on.

New Filter and indicators to track Domestic Collaboration

New Indicators (Domestic Collaboration and % Domestic Collaboration) and corresponding filter allows you to analyze the impact of national and international collaboration. You can now look at the output of an Organization (or a region/any entity) in terms of intra-regional collaboration.

New Open Access indicators and filters - Green only and Non OA

These new Open Access indicators and filters allow you to analyze and visualize a) Publicly available publisher content but outside of an open-access context, and b) Content which is not publicly available. They complement the other Open Access indicators we have the product currently.

We have also released the May data refresh today, which includes Web of Science data up to the end of April 2021. Learn more about this refresh.

We have released the April data refresh today, which includes Web of Science data up to the end of March 2021. Key feature include a new indicator in Publication Sources entity that allows you to view and export the eISSN of a source. The ISSN/eISSN search supports copy-paste functionality in all entities. We have tested successfully with up to 500 identifiers but more number should be supported. We will soon expand the copy-paste ability to all filters in the application.

Learn more about this refresh.

Note: We have updated our system requirements and will retire support for Internet Explorer on May 31, 2021. Please contact our support team if you have any questions.

A new application update was released today with the following features.

New Geographic map with zoom capabilities

With this release, we are integrating with a new visualization library (AMCharts) and replacing the existing geographic map with an updated version from this new library. This version will allow users to zoom in/out to analyze a country/region further and export the map with a particular country highlighted (with tooltip).

New dropdown to search and copy-paste RID/ORCID

The Unique ID Search option within the Researcher search filter is an additional new way to search for a Researcher which allows you to not only search for Web of Science Researcher ID and ORCID in the same box but also allows to copy-paste a bunch of IDs and let the application resolve them for you. The IDs can be separated via a comma or a semi-colon or both.

The Unique ID Search with copy-paste functionality is available in Person Name or ID and Collaboration with People fields in all entities. We have tested successfully with up to 500 identifiers but more number should be supported. We will soon expand the copy-paste ability to all filters in the application.

We have updated our system requirements and will retire support for Internet Explorer on May 31, 2021. Please contact our support team if you have any questions.

Additional data from external funding agency sources

We are excited to release a new application update today with the following features:

Three new indicators in the Publication Sources entity

This new filter in the Funding Agency entity allows user to filter on the location (Country/Region) of the Funding Agency. We have also added a "Country or Region" indicator to capture the corresponding value for a Funding Agency. This new filter allows users to analyze funding agencies located in one or more countries/regions.

The existing "Location" filter in the Funding Agency entity is now called "Researcher Location". The Researcher Location captures the country/region from the institution address on a document.

Reorder columns via drag and drop

Based on direct feedback from users to simplify the process to reorder columns, we are pleased to introduce the ability to drag and drop the columns in the data table.

We released the February data refresh today which includes Web of Science data up to the end of January 2021. Learn more about this refresh.

Citation Topic Cluster Label Changes for Some Categories

Based on customer feedback, we updated the labels for the following citation topics. See the full updated taxonomy.

Two New Chinese University Associations

Updated Unified Publisher List

We revised the publisher names unified in the application.

• 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

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 Search^beta 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.

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:

  • Tsukuba University of Technology

  • Tokyo University of Foreign Studies

  • Tokyo University of the Arts

  • Hyogo University of Teacher Education

  • Naruto University of Education

  • National Institute Fitness & Sports Kanoya

  • National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies

  • Kyoto University of Education

• Renamed Organization name Kings College London to King's College London. If you have a saved tile with the previous name, please update the organization name in the tile with the new name.

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 counting used 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:

1. 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.

2. 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. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work with our technology teams for a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. 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). The RIS3 schema was developed in 2014 to concentrate public R&D investment in programs that create future domestic capability and inter-regional comparative advantage.
