Web of Science
Search for a specific time frame, or since a specific date Easy to build a comprehensive search query
Web of Science What is a citation? 2004 2008 Times Cited 2003 2000 Cited References 2000 2009 1974 1998 Related Records 2008 1993 1999 2002 2000
Citation Index - The Value Add The language of research is constantly changing, as research progress concepts and terminology evolve. Text based searching may miss critical information Network linkages through citations facilitate the discovery of information across the boundaries of terminology LAV (Europe) HTLV-III (USA) HIV + many variants, SIV 1983 1987 Present Future??? This particular article is highly cited and relevant, but does not contain the term HIV Therefore, this record cannot be found by searching for the text HIV but is easily found by using citations
Science Citation Index Expanded Social Sciences and Arts&Humanities Citation Index Metrics Article-level data Journal-level data Researcher-level data Institution-level data Country/region-level data Field/discipline-level data
Citation Index The Value add Analyze results for detailed analysis such as collaborator identification Instant Citation Reports to easily evaluate research and identify trends Visualize citations using the Citation Map. Identify trends and track research pathways
The separate data sources are selectable for specific search objectives Search lemmatization: Generate more comprehensive results. Searching for tooth will also retrieve alternates such as teeth
Sort the results by Times Cited to identify the most influential research
No limits to the number of search results. Refine results to efficiently narrow the search or run a detailed analysis of the entire result set
Expandable abstracts for easy browsing
The Analyze feature is a powerful analytical tool to identify trends and refine searches. Export of the analysis is simple or any other field Identify the top countries for a particular research topic And identify trends
Citation Report provides an instant overview of the publication and citation history 28.6 Link to the Citing Articles Summary statistics and a breakdown per article are provided.
All author names captured, including the full name when available Authors are linked to addresses making the affiliation clear All addresses are captured and addresses are standardized for easy searching
Funding Acknowledgements are captured for easy identification of grant based research and commercial interests
Link to external resources Link to other resources on the Web of Knowledge platform
Cited References Now includes the Times Cited count. Immediately identify the most important papers
Times Cited 2004 2008 2003 2009
Citations from other sources are also included and a breakdown of the citing source is shown Better distinguish the value and relevance of the citing articles.
Use the Citation Map to visualize the citation network
Web of Science Citation Map Displays an interactive visual map of forward and backward citations. It is possible to dynamically scroll around the map to show greater detail 30
Web of Science Citation Map Modify the color of the nodes to display trends. Options include: Author, Source, Year, Subject Category, Institution and Country. 31
Web of Science Citation Map Roll over any node to see the details.
Result save / export options include print, save, e-mail, marked list, alerting and RSS. Can also export automatically to EndNote and EndNote Web
Permanently archive results. Organize results around your different projects etc. Share folders with colleagues, for example a research group or the reading list for a class EndNote Web Archiving Search Results Sharing Information Formatting Bibliographies Writing efficiently
Cite While You Write As you write an article search your EndNote Web for items you wish to cite Automatically insert the complete bibliography of the paper and format to the style you require. Saves researchers and students a huge amount of time, enabling them to focus on writing the article
EndNote Web is included as part of the Web of Knowledge platform, fully integrated with the Web of Science and ResearcherID
ResearcherID is a freely available website where researchers can register themselves and list their publications. A useful tool to help researchers increase their global visibility and network with other researchers
ResearcherID also includes basic citation metrics, available to the public
ResearcherID also includes network analysis tools for co-author and citing articles.
