Web of Science – key benefits Depth &Consistency QualityData Diversity DiscoveryTools Authority • Thomson Reuters captures all formal Cited References for allrecords • 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 Funding Acknowledgements and some other features are not available on the full archive.

  10. Web of Science – key benefits Depth &Consistency QualityData Diversity DiscoveryTools Authority • Searching and navigation via citations to discover unique research and evaluate the impact of research • Visualization & reporting tools help identify trends and generate reports • Analyze & Refine tools, Citation Report, Citation Map • Integration with ISI Web of Knowledge resources to aid the entire research cycle • EndNote Web, ResearcherID • Single article level classification scheme across all resources

  11. Web of Science – key benefits 2004 2008 Times Cited 2003 2009 2000 Cited References 2000 Related Records 1998 1974 2008 1993 1999 2002 2000

  12. 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

  13. Web of Science – Discovery Tools 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

  14. Web of Science – key benefits Depth &Consistency QualityData Diversity DiscoveryTools Authority A unique resource! No other scholarly information resource offers the same level of high quality, authoritativeand trustworthy content with advanced searching capabilities covering 110 years of multidisciplinary and consistent coverage

  15. Easy to build a comprehensive search query Search for a specific time frame, or since a specific date

  16. The separate data sources are selectable for specific search objectives

  17. Author Sets separati:così si identificano autori dai nomi simili

  18. Gli articoli vengono raggruppati con un algoritmo basato sulle pubblicazioni e le citazioni. Ciascun set rappresenta i lavori di un singolo autore .

  19. Distinct Author Sets:Easily identify distinct authors whom share similar names The Citation Report is a valuable tool for analyzing the impact of any research topic, but particularly the collected works of an author

  20. Citation Report provides an instant overview of the publication and citation history Link to the Citing Articles Summary statistics and a breakdown per article are provided.

  21. Can further analyze the network of citing articles to identify new developments, new application of known research and potential collaborators

  22. Refine and analyze results to efficiently narrow the search or run a detailed analysis of the entire result set

  23. The Analyze feature is a powerful analytical tool to identify trends and refine searches. Export of the analysis is simple …or the top institutions performing the research. Or any other field In this example we are analyzing research funded by the NIH. Can easily identify the subject focus….

  24. Sort the results by “Times Cited” to identify the most influential research

  25. Instantly download the full text. Matched to your institutions subscriptions

  26. 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

  27. Funding Acknowledgements are captured for easy identification of grant based research and commercial interests
