Web of Science® is SELECTIVE…
• “Lack of complete coverage is not necessarily an argument against a citation index. It is in fact an argument in its favor.”
Garfield, E. “Citation indexes for science: A new dimension in documentation through association of ideas.” Science, 122 (3159), p.108-111, July 1955.
