A Core Philosophy of Superior Collection Development
International Coverage in the Web of Science
• Thomson Reuters extends the power of its Journal Selection
Process by focusing on the world’s best Regional Journals
• Web of Science users are more international than ever before
• Research is more international than ever before and the importance of research from developing nations is increasing– Asia
– Eastern Europe
– Middle East
– Latin America

Regional Expansion - Selection Philosophy
• We are still using the same stringent policy that we have always used. We have not weakened our selection policy in anyway.
• However, we have listened to our customers and have slightly modified our approach with regards to regional journals to reflect the increasing importance of regional coverage– Journals with a regional focus are generally cited by their
own community which by nature is small
– Therefore the impact factors may not be as high as international journal, but the value of the content is high
– Other selection criteria must be adhered to

Century of Social Sciences
• Diverse Coverage– In addition to Sociology, Psychology, and Economics, this collection
includes valuable intellectual heritage within Anthropology, Communication, Education, Law, Political Science, and Public Health, and more.
– With the July 2009 release of Web of Science Social Science Citation Index backfiles 1900-1955 a wealth of valuable research with several hundred titles will become available in a form that provides not only easy searching, but navigation via cited references.
• What sources were cited by landmark Social Science papers?
• What research today is influenced by these historic works?
– Century of Social Sciences reveals this with instantly, and can provide links to the full text within sources such as JSTOR or publisher electronic archives.

Web of Knowledge – New and Enhanced Content
• Proceedings literature is an essential component of international scholarly communication.
• New theories, solutions, and indications of emerging and developing concepts are typically presented first within papers delivered at scientific and scholarly meetings and conferences.
• Particularly benefits researchers in the following fields: Engineering, Computer Science, Physical Sciences where some crucial research is not covered in journals
Web of Science Conference Proceedings:
• The CPCI files are fully integrated into Web of Science, behaving exactly as the SCIE, SSCI and A&HCI files
Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index
Conference proceedings are now available as two additional indexes in the Web of Science

• A new citation product, providing cited references for BIOSIS Previews content:
– Cited references for all Previews content (beginning 2006)
– Cited references for 60% of high impact Previews journals (1926 - 2005)
• All citation data contained within the Previews database
• Unique times-cited count
• Available only on the Web of Knowledge platform
• Planned release date - 3rd Quarter, 2009

Data Usage
• Building the Institutional Knowledge Base: Support Through Web of Science and Thomson Reuters “Web Services”– Complimentary Web Services
• Capturing, organizing, presenting and promoting the intellectual output of an institution is now a great priority of colleges and universities large and small. For most, this translates to clear initiatives for development of an Institutional Repository (IR).
• Given the place of prominence of Web of Science within academic communities worldwide, Thomson Reuters is firmly committed to directly assisting and supporting in university IR initiatives through both complimentary and subscribed services.
Data Usage and Maintenance
• Web of Science/Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Links Article Match Retrieval Service
• Journal and Article-level bibliographic information may be used in the API request in order to make a match with Web of Science records. Or, unique identifiers in the form of the Web of Science UT (retrievable through Web Services-Light data extraction) or the DOI alone are sufficient for a match.
• Available ongoing updates of this data provide a level of “currency” that is invaluable in promoting the work of an individual author as well as the institution as a whole.
– Used in tandem, Web Services Lite and the Links Article Match Retrieval Service allows a Web of Science subscribing institution to retrieve information for papers published by institutional authors, populate an Institutional Repository, and link from this IR information into Web of Science.
Journal Citation Reports – New Metrics and Information
• Five-Year Impact Factor
• Rank-in-Category Tables
• Box Plots
• Eigenfactor MetricsTM: EigenfactorTM and Article InfluenceTM
Citation Behavior, variance among disciplines:Some fields are very fast moving, particularly within the life sciences, and published research gets cited at a relatively rapid pace. Research in other fields, mathematics for example, makes its impact more slowly over an extended period of time.

2006 Impact Factor Years
Journal Citation Reports - New Metrics and Information
Immunology
Introduction of a 5-Year Impact Factor:To better gauge the impact of journals within fields where influence of published research evolves over a longer period of time than presented by the traditional 2-Year Impact Factor.
Impact Factor is based on two years of cited journal content – cites in the current year to journal material published in the prior two years.
A 5-Year Impact Factor is based on cites in the current year to journal material published in the prior five years.

Journal Citation Reports - New Metrics and Information
Rank in Category table:Many journals maintain an editorial scope that necessitates their inclusion in more than one JCR category. To better reveal the influence of a journal in all assigned categories a Rank in Category table will display each category in which the journal appears along with rank in the category and the Quartile in which the journal is placed in that category - based on Impact Factor.
