The data above were extracted from
Clarivate's
Essential Science IndicatorsSM database. This
database, currently covering the period January 1998 through October
2008, surveys only journal articles (original research reports and
review articles) indexed by Clarivate. Articles are assigned to a
category based on the journals in which they were published and Thomson
Reuters’s journal-to-category field definition scheme. Both
articles tabulated and citation counts to those articles are for the
period indicated. Hot Papers are limited to those articles published in
the last two years. A paper is selected as a hot paper if it meets a
citation frequency threshold determined for its field and bi-monthly
group. Citation frequency distributions are compiled for each field and
cohort. Thresholds are set by finding the closest citation count that
would select the top fraction of papers in each field and period. The
fraction is set to retrieve about 0.1% of papers. Visit
Essential Science Indicators from Clarivate for more
information.
