Annual MIC citations since 1980. Latest update: 02.02.2012. Total: 1073 ISI citations and 638 DOI Cited-By.
For example, if a 2011 article in Automatica refers to a 2009 article in MIC, then the statistics for 2011 (not 2009) will be increased by one. Note that the statistics for previous years back to 1980 can increase when late registrations are made by ISI and in the CrossRef DOI system.


New registered citations per month since January 2010. The new citations are refered to MIC articles in the entire period since 1980. These statistics show registration activity (new references to MIC articles) in ISI Web of Knowledge and CrossRef's DOI database on a monthly basis. For example, if a 2001 article in Automatica refered to a 1980 article in MIC and the registration in the DOI database was made in September 2011, then the DOI statistics for the month of September 2011 will increase by one. For these statistics, the data for previous months can never change.
