I attended a product demonstration this morning from an ISI rep who demonstrated the Web of Knowledge product. The one thing I really took from the demo is a new (to me) feature called 'Analyze Results'. It allows you to "view rankings and histograms of the authors, journals, etc. for [a] set of records." I searched the Web of Science database for the Topic of GIS (TS=(geographic information systems)). Of the 2000 most cited articles within the results, the 10 institutions above contributed the most, with the USDA ARS topping the list. A similar list can also be compiled by author, or by authors within a particular university. Very powerful.

I was so excited about it too this morning. I thought that I was the only one that did not know about the feature.
