In-cites
has produced a listing of most-improved scientists, institutions,
countries, and journals from the bimonthly update to the ISI Essential
Science Indicators
Web based product.
These “most-improved” entities are those that show the largest
percentage increase in total citations from the fourth to the fifth
bimonthly period of 2001—that is, from August 2001 to October
2001—across ISI Essential Science
Indicators’ 22 fields.
The
most-improved scientists in 22 fields are listed in the table below (note:
there was a tie in the field of Computer Science:
