| 1.Web of Science®
- Exciting New Features!! |
|
Web of Science is a multidisciplinary database which
covers the sciences, social sciences, and the arts
and humanities. Its main strength is its citation
feature: it will tell you who has cited any particular
article. Recent enhancements allow researchers to
conduct more powerful searches of the literature.
|
|
Results Analysis Tool - refine
results like never before
- recognize trends and access subsets by author,
document type, institution, language, publication
year, source title, and journal categories.
- analyse the growth of published research on a
topic over the years
- find the most prolific authors
- discover the institutions most heavily involved
in different research fields (see figure below)
- note the most published in journals
|
|
Citation alert feature: you can receive email alerts
containing information on published papers that cite
a particular paper you have selected.
Related records feature: now displays the
number of references shared by related papers - an
efficient way of gauging relevance.
Sorting results by source title, first author
or citedness are possible. This latter is a particularly
valuable feature for selecting the most cited, and
therefore probably most respected, articles.
Cited reference searching enhancements: "cited
author" and "cited works" indexes are
available as search aids. To be truly comprehensive
in your search efforts, the Cited Reference Search
is essential in that it can retrieve information often
missed through the use of keywords alone.
