In-cites has produced a listing of most-improved scientists,
institutions, countries, and journals from the bimonthly update to ISI
Essential Science Indicators
Web product. These "most-improved" entities are those that show
the largest percentage increase in total citations from the sixth
bimonthly period of 2001 to the first bimonthly period of 2002—that is,
from December 2001 to February 2002—across ISI Essential Science
Indicators’ 22 fields.
The most-improved scientists across the 22 fields are as follows
(please note that there was a tie in the field of Economics &
Business):
