Institute of Scientific Information

The Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) is an organization that collects and organizes research articles and scholarly journals across various scientific fields. Its goal is to help researchers find relevant studies, evaluate the impact of individual authors or journals, and track scientific progress. ISI is known for creating citation indexing and metrics, like the Impact Factor, which measures how often research is cited by others. This system supports academic research by highlighting influential work and fostering the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
