University/Institutional Science Indicators is an easy-to-use statistical database of research performance measures on universities, research institutes, government labs, and other institutions. Four editions for institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia allow users to measure institutional publication output and citation impact. Other national editions are available on request.

Based on unique and authoritative publication and citation statistics from Thomson Scientific, University/Institutional Science Indicators contains the number of Thomson Scientific-indexed papers from each institution and the number of times the papers were cited from 1981 to the current year.

Conduct internal and peer comparisons.

With University/Institutional Science Indicators, you can:

• Make strategic planning decisions -- which research areas at your institution are increasing or decreasing their output and impact? How does this compare with peer institutions and baselines?
• Bolster marketing and development efforts -- do papers from your university have a higher impact (i.e. are they cited significantly more than average)? Get the word out to potential top-notch students, researchers, and funding sources, and back your efforts with solid statistical evidence.
• Track other institutions' progress -- gather the competitive intelligence information you need to identify institutions at the forefront of new research developments.

Why choose University/Institutional Science Indicators?

• For each university, you'll receive total number of papers, total citations to papers, citation impact statistics, and world and university baselines for publication, citation, and citation impact statistics.
• You can choose a time period to analyze -- Analyze the data for each year, from 1981 to current year, for the entire period, for the most recent five-year period, or in five-year moving windows of papers published and cited for one or any group of universities/institutions.
• You can choose fields and institutions to analyze -- Examine performance by overall institution or in one or more of 24 broad subfields in the sciences and social sciences (Standard Version) or 106 narrower fields in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities (Deluxe Version).
