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 periods of 2002—that is, the period ending
October 31, 2002 to the period ending December 31, 2002—across ISI Essential
Science Indicators’ 22 fields.
