| How
to read the Number of Papers graph: |
|
The Y axis scale
indicates the number of papers published. The X axis
is broken down into five overlapping five-year
periods, from left to right. Note that the current
year contains year-to-date data, with the data being
updated every two to four months. For information on
the latest data update, please refer to the Notices
file (click the Notices button on the ESI home
page).
For example, the
period 1995 - 1999 counts papers in the ISI database
(for the scientist/institution/country and field
selected) for the years from 1995 through 1999.

| How
to read the Number of Citations graph: |
|
The Y axis scale
indicates the number of citations received by the
papers in the period. The X axis is broken down into
five overlapping five-year periods, from left to
right. Each five-year period is self-contained; that
is, only citations within a time period to articles
within that time period are counted. Note that the
current year contains year-to-date data, with the data
being updated every two to four months. For
information on the latest data update, please refer to
the Notices file (click the Notices button on the ESI
home page).
For example, the
period 1995 - 1999 counts papers in the ISI database
(for the scientist/institution/country and field
selected) for the years from 1995 through 1999 and
cumulates citations to these papers from all citing
items from 1995 through 1999. Thus, each successive
time period is defined by a similar five-year time
window to form the series.

The Y axis scale
indicates the number of average citations
received by the papers in the period. The X axis is
