Usage statistics are now available to
University of Sheffield users for items in Web of Science, offering a new tool
to help identify popular or hot-topic papers.
Usage counts indicate:
- The
number of times a full text article has been accessed
- The
number of times the record has been exported to Endnote or other reference
managers vis RIS
This can complement the citation counts already available in Web of
Science. Citations can take years to build up, so usage is a good way to
indicate interest in a research publication, especially for recently published
papers which have yet to be cited.
You can view total
usage since 2013, or over the last 180 days. There is also the option to
sort search results by usage, to display the most-used papers first.
Usage stats are updated daily (so you won't
see a 'live' update of any clicks you make whilst using Web of Science).
In order to guard against gaming or systematic downloads, Web of Science will only record 3 actions per item per session.
