OA IN WEB OF SCIENCE CORE COLLECTION
• OA status for journals is downloaded the first of each month
from DOAJ
• ISSNs from DOAJ are matched against journals in the
WoS Core Collection
– The status “Open Access” is added to items according to the first calendar
year the journal provided Open Access content
• OA in WoS is a journal-level metric
– There is no item-level information captured
• Clarivate supplements DOAJ data with WoS historical records
of OA journals that have ceased publication and/or
are omitted from DOAJ.

OA IN WEB OF SCIENCE CORE COLLECTION
• In the WoS Core Collection
the Open Access Indicator

WHY ESCI? THE NEED TO GROW
The Web of Science audience
seeks quantity:
– More data to support research
assessment and analysis
– More coverage of local content with
significant regional importance
– More opportunity for global collaboration
17. 17
WHY ESCI? STRENGTHENING OUR CORE
The Web of Science audience
expects quality:
– Remain selective
– Provide thought leadership
– Identify the most relevant journals
18. 18
Both to grow and to strengthen our core, we have created
the Emerging Sources Citation Index.
19. 19
BENEFITS OF ESCI
The Emerging Sources Citation Index:
– Makes thousands of journals searchable, discoverable, and citable
– Ensures that Web of Science covers scientific trends and developments
beyond the high-impact literature
– Makes our rigorous selection criteria more transparent
