Hello to all, I think we all agree that research impact is tricky to measure. A cancer research paper with 1,000 citations over 10 years and a sport science paper with 100 citations over the same period may actually have had equivalent relative "impact" in their respective fields when total publications and citations with each discipline are used to establish a comparative baseline.
I understand that the "Essential Science Indicators" product from Thompson Reuters (ISI Web of Science) provides such discipline specific metrics. Do any of the readers on this list have access to this "add-on" product through their university library?
