iCite is a freely available tool developed by NIH's Office of Portfolio Analysis to access a dashboard of bibliometrics for papers associated with a research portfolio. Users type in a PubMed query or upload the PubMed IDs of articles of interest.

More Info

iCite has three modules: Influence, Translation, and Open Citations:
 

  • iCite: Influence provides Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) values, which measure the scientific influence of each paper by field- and time-adjusting the citations it has received, and benchmarking to the median for NIH publications, the value of which is set at 1.0. Read about how RCR is calculated at PLOS Biology.
  • iCite: Translation measures how Human, Animal, or Molecular/Cellular Biology-oriented each paper is, and uses this information to track and predict citation by clinical articles. Read about how the Approximate Potential to Translate (APT), a machine learning-based estimate of the likelihood that a paper will be cited in later clinical trials/guidelines is calculated at PLOS Biology.
  • iCite: Citations disseminates link-level, public-domain citation data from the NIH Open Citation Collection (NIH-OCC). Read about the NIH-OCC at PLOS Biology.
