PSI Metrics

Metrics | tracking milestones made by PSI:Biology

Last updated: June 28, 2017

The PSI:Biology Goals and Milestone Committee was charged with determining a list of metrics that best convey the progress and impact of the PSI:Biology Network.
Click a category name to jump down to active tabulations. Collected PSI-1 and PSI-2 statistics can be viewed on the previous Metrics site.
To learn how each metric is calculated, click on its data source icon (e.g. ) nearest to its column heading.

1. Quantitative Metrics

These tables provide a summary of the PSI:Biology targets being studied by the High-throughput and Membrane Protein Centers, as determined from depositions to TargetTrack or the PDB.

Table 74348. Numbers of targets in the PSI:Biology pipeline and the number of structures solved. (Metrics items 1.1-1.8)

2. Structure Determination

This section counts the number of different structural and biological topics targeted by the PSI:Biology network as categorized in TargetTrack.

2.2 Structure Determination Methods

3. Network Building

One of the goals of the PSI:Biology program is to be a collaborative network for the greater biological community to rely on for structures and resources. This section counts the level of collaboration within the PSI:Biology Network and beyond it.

3.1 Collaboration

3.1.2 External to PSI

3.1.2.3 (Table 74352) Collaborations created by Community-nominated Target nominations

4. Experimental Data Resources

The PSI:Biology Network makes all of its research resources available to the public. The following resource counts come from center depositions and TargetTrack.

4.1 (Table 74353) Protocols used by the PSI:Biology program.

4.2 (Table 74354) Available PSI:Biology clones.

5. Technologies

The PSI:Biology Network also develops new technologies to overcome bottlenecks in the high-throughput protein production and structural determination pipeline. During PSI:Biology, technological developments are mainly underway for the membrane protein-focused centers and the high-throughput centers. This data is calculated from the PSI Technology Portal.

5.1 - 5.5 (Table 74355) Technologies from HTP and Membrane Protein Centers.

6. Publications

Below is a tabulation of the number, citation count, and impact of PSI:Biology publications, along with the number of times a center's PDB structure has been downloaded from all PDB sites. The download numbers exclude full PDB archive downloads. This data is collected from the PSI Publications Portal and the wwPDB site.
