The Cited by Feature connects you easily with articles that cite a particular article of interest to you (e.g. written by you, a mentor or someone that is central to your research, provided that article appears in the Web of Science)
Example: Sandra Robinson co-authored an article "Trust that binds: the impact of collective felt trust on organizational performance" in the Journal of Applied Psychology in 2008.
The Citation Report feature displays bar charts for the number of items published each year and the number of citations each year, plus counts for the average number of citations per item, the number of citations per year per publication, average number of citations per year per publication, and the H-index.
Citation Analysis is the examination of the frequency and patterns of citations in articles and books.
It can be used to evaluate the impact of individual research, mapping impact in a field of research or journal, discover related research, or decide on a publication in which to publish.
A Journal Impact Factor (JIF) is used to indicate the relative importance of a journal within a given field and a higher JIF is seen as providing more “authority” or “weight” to a researchers’ work.
