New Features in Journal Citation Reports

| | Comments (0)

Journal Citation Reports recently introduced the following new features:

  • Five-Year Impact Factor – Gives a broader range of citation activity for a more informative snapshot over time. For journals in subjects where citation activity continues to rise through several years, this allows more of their total citation activity to be included in a critical performance metric.
  • Eigenfactor™, also a five-year metric, is designed to reflect the prestige and citation influence of journals by considering scholarly literature as a network of journal-to-journal relationships.
  • Graphic Displays of Impact Factor “Box Plots” – A graphic interpretation of how a journal ranks in different categories.
  • Rank-in-Category Tables for Journals Covering Multiple Disciplines – Allows a journal to be seen in the context of multiple categories at a glance rather than only a single one.
  • Journal “Self Citations” – An analysis of journal self citations and their contribution to the Journal Impact Factor calculation.

More than 23.8 million predicted proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra are now available in SciFinder Scholar [more details]

American Film Scripts Online has just introduced a new interface and added an additional 363 scripts, for a total of 1,008.

Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) has a new interface. Besides a streamlined look-and-feel, the new interface also provides the following new features:

  • Research Guide section for undergraduates with contextual essays and chronology
  • Image Gallery, Most Popular Searches and Key Documents sections
  • Citation generator and export functionality
  • Expanded download and e-mail features
  • Keyword in Context feature from results list

In addition, you now have the option of including results from Early English Books Online (EEBO) in your ECCO search, and then linking directly to the EEBO documents (this also works the other way around - you can include ECCO results in an EEBO search).
