10 Web of Science Core Collection Benefits Multidisciplinary International Key benefits Influential Thomson Reuters Journal Selection Process [ video, video ] Publisher neutral no external influences Break through the boundaries of keywords ex.hiv Includes the entire list of works cited by an article Search for a reference, navigate its citation network [ Web of Science Core Collection: True Citation Index video ]

11 Break through the boundaries of keywords 11

12 Web of Science can answer questions like What are the most cited papers on a particular topic? What is the publication output of an author / organization / journal? Which authors / organizations/ journals are publishing those highly cited papers? Who do we collaborate with now? What agencies fund the research you do? What are the citation trends for an author / topic?

13 IT ALL STARTED FROM 50 s In 1955, Dr. Eugene Garfield revolutionized research with his concept of citation indexing and searching, creating the Science Citation Index 13

14 SELECTIVITY IS A MUST COMPREHENSIVE DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN ALL- INCLUSIVE A relatively small number of journals publish the majority of significant scholarly results (Bradford's Law) Each year, the Thomson Reuters editorial staff reviews over 2,500 journal titles for inclusion in Web of Science. Around 10-12% of the journals evaluated are accepted for coverage. REUTERS/ Mohsin Raza Journal Selection Process updated Basic Journal Standards 2. Editorial Content 3. International focus 4.

15 Selection process Basic publishing standards Timeliness International Editorial Conventions Full Text English Peer Review Ethical Publishing Practices Publishing Format Editorial content International focus Citation Analysis

16 Concept of Citation network 2004 Times Cited Cited References View Related Records

17 HOW DO YOU SEARCH THE LITERATURE?

18 IS IT A MORE EFFICIENT WAY?

19 Abstract And Get Full Text Author Keywords or Keywords Plus Refine Sort by Times Cited References Times Cited Related Records Full Record more less Record Number less more

20 Topic search A topic search uses only the Title, Keywords, and Abstract fields For some databases, your topic search terms are also applied to specialized classification systems (MeSH terms in Medline, Taxonomic Data in Biosis Citation Index, etc.) [ How to access Web of Science / Personalize your Start page video ]

21 Search logic and search assistance Search for black hole "black hole" frog teeth color best loud "social network*" Results containing black AND hole black hole [phrase] frog OR frogs tooth OR teeth color OR colour good OR better OR best loud OR louder OR loudest social network OR social networks OR social networking [ Search tips video ]

22 Wildcard Characters (Truncation) Symbol Retrieves Example ethyl* = ethylene ethylacetate ethylformamide * Zero or more characters *ethyl = methyl dimethyl *ethyl* = trichloroethylene methylpyridinium $ Zero or one character disease$= disease, diseases, diseased? One character only en?oblast = entoblast endoblast Topic searches must have at least 3 characters to use * wildcard.

23 Search Operators All search terms must occur to be retrieved. TOPIC: aspartame AND cancer Retrieves documents that contain both aspartame and cancer. Any one of the search terms must occur to be retrieved. Use when searching variants and synonyms. TOPIC: aspartame OR saccharine OR sweetener Retrieves documents that contain at least one of the terms. Excludes records that contain a given search term. TOPIC: "mobile phone" not iphone Retrieves documents with mobile phone, excluding any which also contain iphone.

24 Proximity Operators color theory = color AND theory Phrase Searching Near/ Same Exact matches for phrases can be found by searching on terms enclosed in quotation marks. Wildcard characters can be used inside quotation marks. "color theory" = color theory "color* theory" = color theory colorful theory Finds terms in the same field; user specifies proximity. Default is 15 words if user does not specify a number. color near/5 theory = color theory theory of color color plays a role in this theory theory. In this way, color Terms must occur within the same sentence. Use in Address field only.

25 Topic search examples Multiple Sclerosis and MRI "multiple sclerosis" and (MRI or "magnetic resonance imaging") black holes, galaxies, and gases via Spitzer Space telescope spitzer and ("black hole*" or "galax*" or gas) language development of bilingual children "language development" and bilingual child* global warming and the Arctic or Antarctica ("global warming" or "climate warming" or "climate change") and *arctic$

27 Cited References in plain text why? 1. The reference is not indexed in the Web of Science. 2. The reference is in the Web of Science but a) It is outside your subscription. b) The author has cited it incorrectly. The information the author used to cite that reference doesn't match what we have captured for that reference, so it doesn't link to the record page. We call this a citation variant. Notice there is still Times Cited information, so you can still track that network of ideas and find related research even though you can't view that particular reference's full source record.

30 Author Searches Christopher S. Reynolds, Dept. of Astronomy-Univ Maryland Previously at NASA, University of Cambridge, University of Colorado Boulder Basic Search: Search by last name and first initial and then refine. o Or search by last name first name and try the author disambiguation algorithm Author Search feature: 3 step process that connects author name to research domain and organization. Cormac Reynolds, ResearcherID: B Miklos Palkovits, ORCID: [ Author Search video ]

31 Organization/Address Searches What is the research output of a particular organization? Children s Hospital, University of Pennsylvania Organization-Enhanced field Search by Preferred/Unified organization name or a more narrow, variant name organizations have been unified with ongoing work to unify many more [ Organization Name Search video ]

32 Organization/Address Searches Address vs. Organization-Enhanced The Address field in Web of Science searches non-unified forms of all article addresses, as well as city, country, postal code, etc. Use the Address field to find papers written by authors in a particular institution that lacks an Organization-Enhanced entry. Portland Community College (Oregon) [ Organization Name Search video ]

33 Saving results / Setting alerts Marked List [ Watch the video ] Up to 5000 references can be added Save a marked list for later use [ Watch the video ] Save up to 50 lists Print / / Tab-delimited / EndNote Up to 500 references can be output at a time Search History Save search history alerts Search alerts, expire in 1 year [ Watch the video ] Citation alerts, expire in 6 months [ Watch the video ]

34 Working with your results Analyze Results [ Watch the video ] Who are the top authors at an institution? What are the top funding agencies for a particular research topic? Which institutions publish a lot on a particular research topic? Citation Reports [ Watch the video ] Shows how much citation activity is going on for a result set Usually created after an author or organization search

35 THE H-INDEX Meaningful when compared to others within the same discipline area. Researchers in one field may have very different h-indices than researchers in another (e.g. Life Sciences vs. Physics). Hirsch, J. E. (2005). An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 102(46), doi: /pnas

36 CITATIONS DETERMINING H-INDEX Article Article Article Article Article Article Article Define a list of papers PARITY LINE 2. Arrange the papers from most highly cited to lowest on a graph 3. Draw a 45 degree line through zero 4. The h-index for the set of papers represents the point on the slope where: # citations = # papers (X = Y) CITATIONS = PAPERS = h PAPERS If you have an h- index of 20, it means you have authored 20 papers that have each been cited at least 20 times.

37 USING H-INDEX IN RESEARCH EVALUATION In some cases, the h-index better reflects overall performance than an average citation rate. The h-index does NOT account for: Subject Area: Citation activity varies by academic field, thus expected citation rates ( good numbers) vary depending on an author s research focus. Time: Early career researchers have had fewer chances to be cited than more seasoned researchers Bound by the total number of works an author has published If you ve only published 15 works, no matter how highly cited they are, your h-index will never exceed 15. Some say that h-index doesn t adequately account for total citation count, or give enough weight to highly cited papers.
