Editorial process
All journals in the ESCI have been rigorously hand- selected and reviewed by our editorial team as important titles to key opinion leaders, funders, and research evaluators worldwide. They have passed an initial editorial evaluation and can continue to be considered for inclusion in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, which have their own rigorous evaluation processes and selection criteria. All ESCI journals are indexed according to the same data standards, including cover-to-cover indexing, cited reference indexing, subject category assignment, and indexing all authors and addresses.
The Web of Science is the most accurate and comprehensive resource for research discovery and evaluation, and our independent and unbiased journal selection ensures the highest quality indexing. The ESCI makes our rigorous selection criteria more transparent by exposing new content earlier in the selection process—helping everyone to make more connections to new areas of research, and discover more journals of regional importance.
