Highly Cited Papers in Web of Science

As we already have announced the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) has been integrated more prominently into the Web of Science and both are available via the InCites platform.

You find the “View Journal Information” button on the detail page of your results. It shows you the Impact Factor and the Rank and Quartile in the appropriate JCR category for the selected journal.

The highly cited and hot paper icon is available on the results list. It links you directly to the ESI.

wos_esihot“Highly Cited” indicates the top cited papers over the last ten years in different categories. The ranking is based on the top 1% by field and year based on total citations
received. It is updated every two months.

“ESI Hot” refers to articles that have been heavily cited within the last two months relative to other papers in the same field. It is generated for papers published in the past two years.
