Analysis tools: Use the Analyze Tool to discover trends and patterns; the Citation Report to capture citation activity and identify citation trends graphically; citation mapping to discover the connections between articles and their citations.

Key indicators: Impact Factor, devised by Dr. Eugene Garfield and still the internationally recognized metric used to determine research influence; H-index, which uses the distribution of citations received by a given researcher's publications to characterize output; and Times Cited, which uses the number of times articles have been cited to show influence.

Journal evaluation: Citation-based performance data delivers unbiased data needed to measure journal impact.

Performance evaluation: Objective, citation-based measures aid evaluation of individual, institutional, regional and national performance.
