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.
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 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
•Chinese Science Citation Database•FSTA - Food Science & Technology Abstracts

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CITATION INDEX
• Concept first developed by Dr Eugene Garfield – Science, 1955
• The Science Citation Index (1961)– SCI print (1960’s)– On-line with SciSearch in the 1970’s – CD-ROM in the 1980’s– Web interface (1997) Web of Science
• Content enhanced:– Science Citation Index – Expanded (SCI-E)– Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)– Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)– Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI)– Book Citation Index (2011)
WHY THE WEB OF SCIENCE?
• Research information and assessment– Efficient, Quality Current Awareness within all disciplines
– Where should I publish?
– Citation-tracking capabilities across decades
– Comparison, Allotment of grants, Finding peer institutions
• Compare worldwide research using transparent and globally accepted criteria– Creating analyses based on global standards
– Being part of the world’s global research community
• Research trends and output expertise on– Country level, Institutional level, Personal/Author level, Journal level

Note: the $ cannot be used within quotation marks (i.e. “colo$r theory”) when lemmatization is turned on.
Boolean Operators
All search terms must occur to be retrieved.
TOPIC: “stem cell*” AND lymphoma
Retrieves documents that contain the phrase stem cell and the term lymphoma. This is equivalent to searching “stem cell*” lymphoma
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: aids NOT hearing
Retrieves documents with aids, excluding any which also contain hearing.
Proximity Operators
Phrase searching
To search for an exact phrase enter the phrase in quotation marks. Note: the use of quotation marks disables lemmatization of terms.
Example: “stem cell”NEAR/x Terms occur within a user-specified number of words
within the same field. If no number is specified, the system defaults to 15.
Example: canine NEAR/10 virus
canine NEAR virus
SAME Used only in the address field. Terms must occur within the same address.
Example: yale SAME hosp
LEMMATIZATION
29
run, runs, ran and running are forms of the same lexeme, with run as the lemma.
Examples: • frog/frogs• mouse/mice• color/colour• loud/louder/loudest• run/running/ran

About Citation Reports
• Use to quickly see citations over a period of time to a set of publications
• Provide aggregate citation statistics for a set of search results– Graphs that show publication activity and citation activity by
year
– Average citations per item and average times cited per year
– H-index
– Remove self-citing papers
• Possible for sets of 10,000 records or fewer– Note: Marked Lists sets limited to 5,000 records

• 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.o Both multi-authored and single-authoredo Series and non-serieso Encyclopedias, Reference Books generally not included,
though graduate level texts may be considered.
• Full indexing of Books and individually-authored Book Chapters.o Capture of all fundamental bibliographic
information as well as author cited references.

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.
