Analysis and Research on the Influence of University Discipline based on Incites and ESI - Taking Materials Science of Jianghan University as an example

At present, researchers have carried out many theoretical and empirical studies on the discipline analysis and evaluation based on ESI and Incites. The research on the research institutions and disciplines which don't belong to top 1% worldwide ranking of ESI is relatively rare. This paper takes Materials Science of Jianghan University as an example to explore how to use Incites and ESI database through web of Science Documents, Times cited, Category Normalized Citation Impact to know the competitiveness and influence of it. According to the analysis, Materials Science is in the leading position in Jianghan University, but its influence is low outside the university. This paper is expected to provide a feasible approach to analyzing the academic influence for the research institutions and disciplinary fields which have not entered global top 1% of ESI.
