Table
The summary table shows monthly usage statistics for each of the following
variables:
| Variable |
|
Description |
|
|
Subsessions
|
|
Number of successful logons (connections) to ISI Web of Science.
|
|
| Queries |
|
A query submits a request for results to a database. A query is
recorded when a user clicks one of the following buttons or links
in ISI Web of Science:
- Search on any page where it submits a database search.
Clicking Search to go to another page in ISI Web of
Science does not record a query.
- Lookup on the Cited Reference Lookup page.
- Cited References on the Full Record page.
- Find Related Records on the Full Record page.
- Times Cited on the Full Record page.
- Cited References on the Full Record page.
- Run on the View History page. A query will be recorded
for every set created when the history is run.
In addition, the set created by an alert counts as a query. (An
alert is a saved history that is automatically run every week.)
When a citation event is recorded in another product, it also counts
as a query in ISI Web of Science. For example, if a user
clicks Times Cited in BIOSIS Previews®, that counts as
a citation event in BIOSIS Previews and a query in ISI
Web of Science.

| Citation
Events |
|
A citation event is an action that uses the citation data in ISI
Web of Science. A citation event is recorded when a user clicks
one of the following buttons or links:
- Search on the Cited Reference Selection page
- Lookup on the Cited Reference Lookup page
- Find Related Records on the Full Record page
- Times Cited on the Full Record page
- Cited References on the Full Record page
In addition, the set created by an alert counts as a citation event
if a cited reference search is executed when the alert is run.

Usage is plotted on a two-dimensional graph at the bottom indicating
usage trends for these variables:
The points on the Y-axis (ordinate) show the usage numbers for the
dates on the X-axis (abscissa).
Note: If usage statistics are broken down by IP Address and
Token ID, no graph will appear. If you want to see usage data plotted
on a graph, return to the Usage Reports Home page and select ISI
Web of Science again. On the page for selecting the type of usage
report, clear the check box Include IP Addresses and Token IDs.
