15Commonly used metrics and their meaning
Category Normalized Citation Index
The Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of a document is calculated by dividing
the actual count of citing items by the expected citation rate for documents with the same
document type, year of publication and subject area.
Journal Normalized Citation IndexThe Journal Normalized Citation Impact (JNCI) normalizes the citation rate for the journal in which
the document is publishing. The Journal Normalized Citation Impact of a single publication is the
ratio of the actual number of citing items to the average citation rate of publications in the same
journal in the same year and with the same document type.
% Documents in Q1-Q4
% of documents that appear in a journal in a particular Journal Impact Factor Quartile in a
given year.
% Documents in Top 1% and % Documents in Top 10%
The % Documents in Top 1% indicator is the top one percent most cited documents (as defined in
the description of Average Percentile) in a given subject category, year and publication type
divided by the total number of documents in a given set of documents, displayed as a percentage.
A higher value is considered to be higher performance.
The % Documents in Top 10% is very similar to the % Documents in Top 1% simply with a
threshold of 10 percent instead of one percent. The % Documents in Top 10% is also more
appropriate than the % Documents in Top 1% when the size of the data set is smaller.
16
Commonly used metrics and their meaning
Highly Cited Papers
The Highly Cited Papers indicator shows the volume of papers that are classified as highly
cited in the Clarivate Analytics service known as Essential Science Indicators (ESI). Highly
Cited Papers in ESI are the top one percent in each of the 22 subject areas represented in
the Web of Science, per year. They are based on the most recent 10 years of publications.
Highly Cited Papers are considered to be indicators of scientific excellence and top
performance and can be used to benchmark research performance against field baselines
worldwide.
% International Collaborations
The % of International Collaborations is the number of International Collaborations for an
entity (as described above) divided by the total number of documents for the same entity
represented as a percentage.
The % of International Collaborations is an indication of an institution or author’s ability to
attract international collaborations.
% Industry Collaborations
An industry collaborative publication is one that lists its organization type as “corporate” for one or
more of the co-author’s affiliations.
The % of Industry Collaborations is the number of industry collaborative publications for an entity
(as described above) divided by the total number of documents for the same entity represented as
a percentage.
