Beneficial for intermediate to advanced researchers and those preparing for publication, Web of Science offers a robust platform for citation analysis with indices spanning the sciences, social sciences, the arts and humanities. Use the built-in journal impact report to help determine the most appropriate journals for submitting manuscripts. Dive deep into an author's publication history by searching via ResearcherID or ORCID.
Web of Science allows users to experience and explore the interconnectedness of scholarly communication by linking past, present, and future articles together through linked abstracts. Users can see the bigger picture of how a topic has been previously studied, and then create alerts to keep track of who is citing a particular article as derivative resources continue to be published. The unique Analyze Results feature helps users determine key players and funding sources for specific areas of study.
To take advantage of some of the special features available within the Web of Science interface, such as setting up article alerts and saving lists/search history, you'll need to create an optional personal profile. Actions such as searching and viewing citation information do not require a personal profile, but will require normal log in procedures for Pfeiffer Library Off-Campus Access if you are utilizing this licensed resource away from campus.
