most-improved scientists, institutions, countries, and journals from the
bimonthly update to the ISI
Essential Science Indicators
Web product. These "most-improved" entities are those that show
the largest percentage increase in total citations from the fifth to the
sixth bimonthly period of 2001—that is, from October 2001 to December
2001—across ISI Essential Science Indicators’ 22 fields.
