The InCites team is very excited to release the following features with today’s update:
Author Position Analysis
Using this feature, you can analyze the position of an author (or its affiliation) listed on a document published on or after 2008. Six new indicators are available to analyze the documents and the % contributions in first, last and corresponding (or reprint) author positions.
The first-listed author is not always responsible for most of the research reported. Publication and citation analysis based on straight counting, including first-author counts, is a biased sampling procedure that does not represent best practice in scientometrics and is invalid in fields that conventionally use alphabetic ordering (e.g. astronomy, mathematics). Please review our recommendations help page.
More information is available on our Working with Author Positions help page.
Now on InCites: A new experience for (My Org) Department Report
Following up on the new experience for Organization and Researcher Report, we are excited to bring a new experience for Department Report. This report is only available to our My Organization users and is used to analyze the one or more Departments within the My Organization dataset.
Overview
Our new Department report can be easily found using the Report drop-down or from the landing page together with the other system reports.
Streamlined Structure
The structure within this report is streamlined, making it clear what you can learn from each analysis in the report. It organizes analysis thematically into several tabs, including research output, collaboration, and most cited documents. Some content within each tab is further organized with section titles.
New Functionality
It is now possible to adjust the date range and include or exclude ESCI in the new system report.
For more information please review the detailed release notes in the attached document.
