ESI Top 1%: Benchmarking SA Institutions In-Person / Online
Essential Science Indicators (ESI) is an analytical tool that helps you identify top-performing research in Web of Science Core Collection. ESI surveys more than 11,000 journals from around the world to rank authors, institutions, countries, and journals in 22 broad fields based on publication and citation performance. Data covers a rolling 10-year period and includes bimonthly updates to rankings and citation counts.
Examples: To be included as a Highly Cited Researcher in Chemistry, the total number of citations to a person’s Chemistry output must be in the top 1% when compared to all other researchers, who have published Chemistry papers in the last 10 years. Each author listed on a paper is counted equally.
