Web of Science Citation Index

In the Web of Science, "Science" = "Knowledge". The index is NOT limited to life, physical, or mathematical science. It indexes ALL academic scholarly research, This is a multidisciplinary database, focused largely on articles from high-impact, peer-reviewed journals, although conference proceedings are included..

Web of Science is a large scholarly index, constructed to excel at forward and backward citation searching, rather than subject searching. By following the "who cited whom"  trail forward a few generations, a community of scholars emerges, often across disciplines. 

The Web of Science Citation Index allows you to :

• discover high impact, key or seminal  works in a field or topic
• identify highly cited, high impact scholarly journals & authors
• build a reference "landscape" by identifying and visualizing the relationships between scholarly work
