4. Are Open Access publications more cited?
% of Documents in Top 10% (2010-2017)
In many cases, we find more TOP 10% papers in Open Access journals than in All journals
HOWEVER, there are other factors to consider if one wants to get to the bottom of such study.
Let’s try to see if normalising the metrics per category helps us making conclusions.

6. 6
It’s not all about journals.
In 2012, we created the Data Citation Index.
We made research data discoverable within our citation
network

7. 7
337 repositories indexed since
launch (Oct 2012) with an overall
annual growth rate around 35%
Open Science Discoverability:
THE DATA CITATION INDEX: 6.7M Datasets
39% are European
repositories
59 Social Sciences
repositories
95%+ of the data indexed
is Open/Free

8. 8
Open Science Discoverability:
THE DATA CITATION INDEX
Datasets are cited by
litterature
DCI is integrated within the
Web of Science Universe
Researchers, Universities,
research institutions, receive
citations through the Research
Data they post in the
repositories we index
6.7M Datasets

Emerging Sources Citation Index:
5200 Journals already selected and in WoS
2500 European Journals
40% in Social Sciences

2017 OPEN SCIENCE CONTENT INITIATIVES
Better Open Data/Litterature Citation Linking in the DATA CITATION INDEX
Enhance links between WOS CC content and Data content to provide a more complete picture
of the relationships between data and the scientific literature
Continued growth of the Emerging Sources Citation Index with the same careful
selection of OA journals
Our plan is to grow ESCI from 5100+ titles to approx. 7500 titles (about 2400 titles)
Construction and Launch of an ARCHIVE for Emerging Sources Citation Index
We are adding 10 more years of depth to the Emerging Sources Citation Index. (2005-2014).
Construction will be completed by October 31, 2017. Estimated size: 1.5M records.
To be continued…
