This month from ScienceWatch.com, we have listed our
ranking in Social Sciences, general by total citations. The
data were extracted from the
Essential Science IndicatorsSM database
from Thomson
Reuters. This database, currently covering the period
January 1999 through December 31, 2009, surveys only journal
articles (original research reports and review articles)
indexed by Clarivate. Read more below.
Articles are assigned to a category based on the journals in which they
were published and Clarivate’s journal-to-category field
definition scheme. Both articles tabulated and citation counts to those
articles are for the period indicated. For articles with multiple
authors from different nations, each nation receives full, not
fractional, citation credit. Essential Science Indicators
lists nations ranked in the top 50% for a field over a given period,
based on total citations. In Social Sciences, general, 103 nations are
listed, meaning 206 were surveyed. The average citation rate for field
of Social Sciences, general is 4.46.
