Essential
Science Indicators (Institute for Scientific Information)
A omprehensive compilation of essential science performance statistics

indicators of output, or productivity, are journal article publication
counts. For influence and impact measures, ESI employs both total citation
counts and cites per paper scores. The former reveals gross influence while
the latter shows weighted influence, also called impact. Data is limited
to journal articles indexed by ISI. Types of data featured in ESI include
most cited author rankings, institutional (university, corporate, government
research lab) rankings, national rankings, and journal rankings.
