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 first
to the second bimonthly periods of 2002—that is, from February 2002
to April 2002—across ISI Essential Science Indicators’ 22
fields.
