In-cites has produced a listing of most-improved scientists,
institutions, countries, and journals from the latest 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
first bimonthly period of 2005 to the second bimonthly period of
2005—that is, from February 2005 to April 2005—across ISI
Essential Science Indicators’ 22 fields.
