Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) Launched in Web of Science™
The Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) has been launched by Thomson Reuters as a new index in Web of Science™ alongside the established Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Web of Science™ thereby continues to reflect the growing importance of Open Access scholarly literature as nearly half of the newly incorporated journals are Open Access journals.
We are pleased to announce that 32 journals published by MDPI were selected for inclusion in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Articles published after 1 January 2015 now appear in ESCI and Web of Science™. This will bring higher visibility to the published research, while they will continue to be under evaluation for SCIE or SSCI.
The following MDPI journals are covered by ESCI:
