The summary table shows statistics for these variables:

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.
- 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.

At the bottom of the table are two rows showing:
Total Use |
|
Sum of the numbers in each column. This is the total
use for the year. |
|
Average Use |
|
Average number (arithmetic mean) for each column. This
is the average use for the year. |
If you selected the option to Include IP Addresses and Token IDs
on the select a report
page, then the table will have an additional column with this heading:
IP Address/Token ID. To the right of the IP Address or Token
ID in the same row are usage statistics for that identifier. The date
of usage is in the row above and to the left of the identifier.
For example, this report shows that on January 1, 2003, the person(s)
using a computer whose IP address is 123.45.678 logged on 76 times and
submitted 48 queries to the Science Citation Index Expanded:

Usage Summary
Graph
Usage data are presented in two types of graphs at the bottom of the
page:
- Usage is plotted on a two-dimensional graph for subsessions and
queries in each database.The values on the Y-axis (ordinate) show
the usage numbers for the dates plotted on the X-axis (abscissa).
- Also, two pie charts show the usage for each of the databases that
make up ISI Web of Science as a percentage of total Web
of Science usage.
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. Then 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.
