The data above were extracted from
Thomson Reuters'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 Thomson Reuters. 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. Naturally,
institutions publishing large numbers of papers have a greater likelihood
of collecting more citations than those publishing fewer papers. This
ranking is by citations per paper (impact), among those institutions that
have collected 25,000 or more citations in neuroscience and behavior. For
papers with multiple institutional addresses, each institution receives
full, not fractional, citation credit.
Essential Science Indicators lists institutions ranked in the top
1% for a field over a given period, based on total citations. For the
current version, 437 institutions are listed in the field of neuroscience
and behavior, meaning that a total of 43,700 institutions were reviewed to
obtain these results. Of the 437, 81 institutions collected 25,000 or more
citations. The ranking by citations per paper (impact) seeks to reveal
“heavy-hitters” based on per paper influence, not mere output.
