• Cover to cover Indexing assures no gaps in the literature– All document types applied consistently across all titles to ensure precise searching
across disciplines
• Capture all cited references to articles in covered journals and to articles in journals not covered.
– ~40 million per year – consistently indexed – standardization
• What does this mean for the users at your institutions? -- presentation of “the best” body of journal information within their areas of interest.
Undergraduates – the vast majority just don’t know enough about individual journals to make these determinations on their own. They may simply take whatever they find -- and in the Web of Science they find quality by default.
Graduates/PhDs – Require a focus on what is most influential as their own academic intensity increases dramatically. They must quickly become familiar with the top publications of relevance to their studies.
Faculty – A multitude of benefits. • Efficient, Quality Current Awareness within their fields.• Citation-tracking capabilities across decades.• Where should I publish? – Web of Science journals are in fact the journals
included within the Journal Citation Reports. Research Administrators

Journal Selection Process
• Web of Science is comprehensive but not all inclusive.
• Small number of journals publish the bulk of significant scientific results.
• 300 journal produce more than half of what is cited and nearly a third of what is published.
• 3,000 journals produce 80% of published articles and 95% of cited articles.
• 2,200 journals evaluated annually– 15% accepted
![Page 13: How to Get your Journal Indexed in WoS and SCOPUS October 29, 2011 Dr. Mehrdad Fahimi Integrated Information Network](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/56649eb65503460f94bbfa86/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
First – Why is it that Thomson Scientific performs extensive journal “evaluations” to determine the content of its indexes?
Why this approach to journal coverage?
From the beginning, it was determined
by ISI founder Dr. Eugene Garfield
that ISI journal indexes would present
a select body of the world’s scholarly
journals – those which display a
significant level of international
influence within their respective
disciplines of study.
![Page 14: How to Get your Journal Indexed in WoS and SCOPUS October 29, 2011 Dr. Mehrdad Fahimi Integrated Information Network](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/56649eb65503460f94bbfa86/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Basic Journal Publishing Standards

Citation Analysis
The Components:
Notes:
We are “publisher-neutral”, no special consideration is given to a particular
publisher. Commercial, academic, open-access, etc. – all publishers are treated
the same with regard to individual journal evaluations.
Journal evaluations are “discipline-specific”, meaning that we only make
comparisons of journals publishing research within the same subject category.
In the Social Sciences, ISI utilizes between 50 and 60 subject categories.
Journal Evaluations - Traditional
![Page 15: How to Get your Journal Indexed in WoS and SCOPUS October 29, 2011 Dr. Mehrdad Fahimi Integrated Information Network](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/56649eb65503460f94bbfa86/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Basic Journal Publishing Standards
Editorial Content
Citation Analysis
The Components:
• Timeliness of Publication – the ability to meet a pre-established publication schedule. This is very important, and is the reason why we typically examine three subsequently published issues at minimum, and often more.
• International Publishing Conventions – complete bibliographic information for journals, articles, and cited references.
• Peer Review• English language article titles, abstracts, and
keywords are highly desirable – in order to reach the widest possible audience.
ISI Journal Evaluations - Traditional
![Page 16: How to Get your Journal Indexed in WoS and SCOPUS October 29, 2011 Dr. Mehrdad Fahimi Integrated Information Network](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/56649eb65503460f94bbfa86/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Basic Journal Publishing Standards
Editorial Content
Citation Analysis
The Components:
• Editorial Scope
-- topics covered. Desirable?
-- the nature of overall content (original papers, review articles, “methods” papers, etc.)
-- appropriate intellectual level
• International Diversity of Editors and Authors – diversity is a very positive aspect as it serves to globalize the collection.
Subjective considerations are important here.
Essentially -- “What does this journal bring to the ISI database, to our collection of influential titles?”
![Page 17: How to Get your Journal Indexed in WoS and SCOPUS October 29, 2011 Dr. Mehrdad Fahimi Integrated Information Network](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/56649eb65503460f94bbfa86/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Basic Journal Publishing Standards
Editorial Content
Citation Analysis
The Components:
• Journal Level – if the journal has been in existence for several years, a citation history will be available. This of course can be extremely valuable to the process. Measure of overall Citations, and approximate Impact Factor and Immediacy Index would be typical statistics utilized.
• Authors and Editors – an examination of individual citation histories for authors and editors is quite important, and in the case of a new journal is the only indication of the potential citation influence of that publication.

Comparing Results and Making Selections
Journals under evaluation are compared to journals that are already covered in the ISI database as well as other journals under evaluation – again this is done within the realm of specific subject categories.
In consideration of all factors, we look to include journals that display a clear level of influence as well as enhancing the subject coverage of the ISI database.

Self Citations:
– 80% of all journals listed in the JCR Science Edition have self-citation rates of less than 20%.
– Excessive self-citation weakens the integrity of the journal’s Impact Factor.
– We look at self citation. If it is very high, it indicated a journal that either is very specialized, or it is indicative of a problem

Librarian: “I want to provide my users with an all-science database,
which indexes all relevant content.”
Researcher: “I want to make sure that all citations to all my papers
are being captured.”
Research manager: ”I want to have a complete picture of the
scientific output of my university/country.”
Scopus content has to address a diversity of needs …
Editor: “I want to track hot topics and see, how my journal is doing.”

Some Comments by a CSAB Member (Dr. keyvan Kousha)
• Main Indicators– Content measures
• Citations to journal, quality of abstract, etc
– Structural issues
• Iranian Medical research: Good Impression on Reviewers
• Pitfalls:– Quality of abstract- This is the first thing reviewers read and decide on the journal.
At least one reviewer stressed that Iranian journals are relatively good in the region but they have poor abstract.
– Citation of editor – chief editor should be highly productive and cited person.
– Including international editorial board
– Website
