- 6. Both to grow and to strengthen our core, Thomson Reuters has created the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
- 7. BENEFITS OF ESCI 7 • The Emerging Sources Citation Index: – Makes thousands of journals searchable, discoverable, and citable – Ensures that Web of Science covers scientific trends and developments beyond the high-impact literature – Makes our rigorous selection criteria more transparent
- 8. ESCI MINIMUM CRITERIA 8 Evidence of peer review Adherence to ethical publishing practices Content requested by or of high interest to subscribers Preferred electronic formats (XML / PDF)
- 9. JOURNAL SELECTION CRITERIA 9 Journal Publishing Standards Editorial Content International Focus Citation Analysis •Does this journal target an international audience or specifically a regional audience? •Is international representation among authors and board members at an appropriate level for such a journal? •Total citations •Recent citation activity •Author and editorial board members’ citations in the literature •Integration of the journal into the literature over time Red = ESCI minimum requirements •Peer review •Ethical publishing practices •Meets technical requirements (XML / PDF) •Timeliness of publication •International editorial conventions •English-language bibliographic information •Has a scholarly audience searched for or requested this content? •How does this journal compare with covered journals of similar scope? •Is this subject already well covered? •Will this journal enrich WoS with novel content?

- 15. ESCI INDEXING & CITATIONS 15 The Emerging Sources Citation Index: – Keeps the indexing policies and conventions of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) • Cover-to-cover indexing • All author names and institutions captured • Fully cited references • Times-cited counts
- 16. ESCI INDEXING & CITATIONS 16
- 17. ESCI METRICS 17 • Journals in the Emerging Sources Citation Index: – Will not receive a Journal Impact Factor. That status is reserved for journals that have passed a rigorous review and reside in SCIE or SSCI. – Will feed into InCites, helping organizations understand the overall output of their publishing programs and how they compare to peers’.

- 22. WHAT’S NEXT FOR ESCI? 22 Launch Growth More than journals?
- 23. ESCI LAUNCH 23 • The Emerging Sources Citation Index: – Launches in November in Web of Science release 5.20 – Is available to subscribers of the “flagship” databases (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) at no additional cost
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Every day, the publishing world relies on Thomson Reuters to deliver the intelligence, technology and human expertise they need to provide answers they can trust. ESCI highlights our role as an industry leader, delivering certainty and a comprehensive picture of the scientific and scholarly world.
- Web of Science is a single destination to the world’s largest collection of research data, books, journals, proceedings, publications and patents covering the sciences, social sciences, and arts & humanities. Besides publishers, customers include researchers, librarians, funders, and research administrators. They use WoS to find people and papers, to keep track of citations, and to identify and monitor trends in scholarly publishing. In 2015 we surpassed 1 billion cited references, as far back as 1898, all searchable!
- This is the core of WoS: a unified platform for scientific discovery The core includes our “flagship” databases – SCIE, SSCI, AHCI. These have a 10% to 12% acceptance rate for journals.
- Throughout 2014, we heard from a number of funders, evaluators, partners and customers that they needed more relevant content to suit their needs. Literature moves quickly – nobody wants to miss the early stages of emerging fields and trends
- But we also heard: Keep the rigorous selection criteria for the flagship products – SCIE, SSCI, AHCI Provide thought leadership by identifying the most relevant journals How do we achieve these two opposing yet equally important objectives?
- ESCI provides an additional level of inclusion in WoS and increased transparency regarding Thomson Reuters’ selection criteria. A journal in this new edition is searchable, discoverable, and citable; publishers get real-time insight into a journal’s citation performance while the content is considered for inclusion in other Web of Science collections.
- Journals under consideration for ESCI must meet these four minimum criteria Most important is content requested by or of high interest to the WoS audience The goal of ESCI is not simply expansion; it’s to add content to benefit WoS as a whole
- The Journal Selection Process has four main areas of interest: Publishing Standards Editorial Content International Focus Citation Analysis The four minimum criteria have always been a part of our selection process. We have not changed our selection criteria because of ESCI. The only difference is the transparency -- we are indexing content in Web of Science while it continues being evaluated.
- Our journal evaluation process will be familiar to many of you ESCI has always been there – it just wasn’t public. Now it is.
- Indexing in the Emerging Sources Citation Index means a journal has passed an initial editorial review. The journal is visible in WoS and remains in consideration for SCIE, SSCI, AHCI. If the journal passes a more rigorous evaluation, it is moved to one of these flagship databases. If the journal does not pass, it remains in ESCI and is scheduled for a re-evaluation.
- This chart shows roughly the first 3,000 selections for ESCI, as of Oct. 1, 2015 The selection profile – 40% sciences, 40% social sciences, 20% arts/humanities – roughly mirrors the WoS flagship (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) More selections will follow, but with no defined number – it’s about the organic growth of relevant content, not a specific number of journals
- The OA publishing model grows in popularity every year, and it’s a frequent starting point for emerging trends and ideas. By paying close attention to OA we’ve ensured that ESCI keeps up with how quickly literature moves
- Again, showing that initial selection of about 3k journals through Oct. 1. ESCI complements Scielo, Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), Korean Citation Index (KCI), forthcoming Russian Citation Index (RCI) Some overlap will occur between ESCI and regional indices, as happens in the flagship databases. As always, our editorial team is an important part of journal selection, maintaining consistent criteria for each region.
- With all this new data flowing into WoS, how will it be reported out? First and foremost, the full indexing of content you’ve grown to trust is a part of ESCI.
- The citation scorecard in WoS includes a new baseline specifically for ESCI This screenshot is from our beta-testing site, not live WoS
- ESCI strengthens the tie between Wos and InCites; With ESCI, InCites users have a larger pool of trusted content to explore. Elevator pitch InCites provides a single resource that supports objective, reliable research evaluation and assessment – all built upon the world’s most trusted citation index, Web of Science – to help your organization attract top researchers, secure funding, facilitate collaborations, benchmark with peers, and allocate resources. Longer version InCites enables publishers to understand the impact of authors and their papers, to demonstrate the effectiveness of a publishing strategy, and to compare publications, authors, and articles using a wide range of indicators and criteria. With InCites, publishers can anlayze competitors and peers, and put performance into context with normalization and benchmarking.
- TR has created a number of promotional materials announcing ESCI and explaining its positioning within WoS On screen: “tip card” for publishers with suggested language; flyer with general ESCI overview; ESCI badge for print and web
- U Chicago Press, among others, are already promoting ESCI
- Equinox is promoting ESCI on its website Emerald is using the ESCI badge
- SAI is just using the TR logo, and that’s ok. They talk about ESCI in the text.
- Journal selections will continue through 2015 based on the stated criteria There will be organic growth in 2016 – certainly more journals, but not tied to a number The future of ESCI might be books, proceedings, blogs, dissertations, etc – not yet confirmed, but “emerging sources” is so named to be flexible in this way. By the end of 2016, we will be providing the most comprehensive, complete, and authoritative source of citation data available anywhere in the world.
