  3. Web of Knowledge • 20 million individual users • 150,000 users every day • > 3,500 institutional users • > 23,000 journals • > 90 million records Web of Knowledge is Thomson Reuters’ core platform for Scientific & Scholarly Research services. Web of Knowledge includes a single de-duplicated database (>91 million records) of all the resources and it includes a unique subject classification scheme across all records. Web of Knowledge is integrated with other Thomson Reuters productivity tools such as EndNote Web and ResearcherID to support the entire research cycle.

  4. Web of Knowledge resources include: Web of Science (with Conference Proceedings) BIOSIS Previews BIOSIS Citation Index Biological Abstracts Zoological Record Derwent Innovations Index Journal Citation Reports Essential Science Indicators • Web of Knowledge • 20 million individual users • 150,000 users every day • > 3,500 institutional users • > 23,000 journals • > 90 million records • Chinese Science Citation Database • FSTA - Food Science & Technology Abstracts • CAB Abstracts • MEDLINE • INSPEC • EndNote Web • ResearcherID

  45. COMPLETING THERESEARCH PICTURE:ADDING BOOKS TO WEB OF SCIENCESM

  46. The Book Citation Index, within Web of Science • Science and Social Science and Humanities-- coverage includes publications back to 2005 • Content will be comprised of scholarly books, both electronic and print, that present fully referenced articles of original research, or reviews of the literature. • Both multi-authored and single-authored • Series and non-series • Encyclopedias, Reference Books generally not included, though graduate level texts may be considered. • Full indexing of Books and individually-authored Book Chapters. • Capture of all fundamental bibliographicinformation as well as author cited references.

  47. Commercial, Society, University press participation -- • Our Acquisitions efforts are still in full stride and havebeen under way for some time. • We first approached Commercial publishers, such as Wiley-Blackwell and Springer, given the sheer volume of material which they produce along with our solid, longstanding relationships with this group. • Society and University presses followed, and these groups are particularly important to our Social Science and Arts & Humanities coverage. • Links to full text from the Book Citation Index is a priorityas well, as it is for all Web of Science content. • We will of course employ primary mechanisms suchas the DOI and OpenUrl. Links from OPAC systems as well. • We are also in conversations with e-bookaggregators to establish direct links to collections.
