Web of Knowledge AdvantagesPowerful Search

Smart Discovery: The Web of Knowledge combines ease of use with unparalleled search powerSmart Discovery: The Web of Knowledge combines ease of use with unparalleled search power

• Premium Content is critical, but content alone is not enough to drive discovery in today’s digital environment

• The strength of the ISI Web of Knowledge lies not only with the information it contains, but quite simply with the way it works

– A common, easy-to-use interface modeled on the Web of Science is extended to all bibliographic databases.

– Yet, for our Partners, the unique controlled-indexing strengths of each database is maintained.

Ease of Use + Search Power = Smart Discovery

11

• Only Resource that Fully Utilizes ALL the Key Citation Relationships!– Cited Reference– Citing Reference– Co-Citation

• Most Current, Deepest, and Most Consistent Navigation

• Valuable Cited Reference Search For Full Citation Tracking

• Citation-based Related Records Reveal Research Pathways

• Integrated Citation Pathways for Richer Discovery– Across Databases: e.g. BIOSIS Times Cited to Web of Science– Article Citation to Journal Impact: Web of Science to Journal Citation Reports– Institutional Impact to Article Citation: Essential Science Indicators to Web of Science

• Peter’s Digital Reference Shelf

“ What makes Web of Knowledge stand out from the crowd is the synergy though the most powerful system of cited references that

links millions of scholarly papers ..”

“Searching for cited and citing references may be too involved for many potential users, depending on software issues. The

enhanced software of WOS shows that the process can be made easy and instantly rewarding”

• Charleston Advisor -

“ For a citation index , it is of particular importance that the longest chronological scope possible be available”

“ Most graduate students and faculty, will have considerable experience with WOS before arriving at their subsequent university, and

will expect to find it and have its full capabilities present

• D Lib Magazine ….

“ it is important for all researchers to note that until Google gives a full account of that it is indexing and how oftern that index is

updated, it cannot be considered a true scholarly resource

“I ordinarily use Web of Science and, to my opinion, this is the one of the best databases in the world.”Researcher, Czech Republic

“By far my favorite tool for doing a literature review.”Medical Student, USA

“Other tools have no such relevance as ISI, and they cannot provide the graph of the search results. That's why I like ISI so much.”Student, China

“It's absolutely essential for all my research awareness today. Not only do I know the active areas of research, using ISI Web of Science, I also know who are the expert scientists in the field and I also get their contact addresses. This is excellent for me!”Neurobiologist, Sweden

“Easy to use and a wide choice of journals,”Information Specialist, The Netherlands

“I love the sheer power of the search capabilities”Student, Brazil

“It provides up-to-date information in very convenient fashion. I like the categories, and find it easy to use.”Information Specialist, UK

“The ability to mark the articlesand return to a list of them is amazing.”Educator, Japan
