The Journal Analysis Database is a collection of each paper published in a particular journal indexed by Thomson Scientific. The dataset contains all standard bibliographic information for each paper indexed plus year by year and total citation counts for each paper. There is a linked file of expected citation rates for each paper, based on the journal title, publication year and document type (article, review, editorial, etc.). Optional files of all Citing and/or Cited Papers may be ordered; these contain the same type of bibliographic data as the source papers.
