Thomson Scientific Content




Premium content – as important as this may be, content alone is not enough to drive discovery in today’s digital environment.

The ISI Web of Knowledge objective – Smart Discovery

through provision of the ultimate environment of discovery for the user.

In adherence to this objective, the Strength of the ISI Web of Knowledge lies not only with the information it contains, but with the way it works.

Web of Science 7.3



• Quality: Evaluated, Selected Content

– Every Web of Science journal is individually selected for influence within its respective discipline.

– Our selection criteria is unbiased, impartial, time-tested. We are “Publisher-Neutral”, evaluating research – Commercial,

Society, Open Access publications (over 200 indexed), etc.

• Diversity: Truly Multidisciplinary– All fields of research are included– 8,600+ journals total

Sciences - over 6,100 titles. Social sciences – 1790 titles Arts & humanities – 1125 titles

Web of Science Value to Your Institution or Organization

Impact -- access to the world’s most influential journal literature.




Impact -- access to the world’s most influential journal literature.

• Depth!– Science Citation Index Expanded 1900-1944 backfiles added in early 2005, extending coverage of the Sciences to over 100 years!

– Coverage back to 1956 in the Social Sciences, to 1975 in the Arts & Humanities.

Current information is of course critical. However, access to an archive of influential research is absolutely important.

Impact of previous findings, even decades old, may be very significant.

– Capture of Author Cited References for over 100 years of data provides for methods of discovery that are simply not possible elsewhere. Navigate “Cited References” and “Times Cited” backward and forward in time.



Identify an Author or Paper that is very relevant to your search topic.

As little information as an author name is sufficient to initiate a

Cited Reference Search.

Impact

The Web of Science is a powerful environment of discovery –

an authoritative source of influential research.



Century of Science

• Web of Science “backfiles” 1900-1944

• It has taken a tremendous effort on the part of many to achieve this objective:

• Editorial Selection

• Acquisitions

• Data Capture & Quality Control



Century of Science

• Editorial Selection – which journals to includeThe Web of Science is a carefully developed and maintained collection of influential journal literature. The inclusion of every journal and serial, 8800 titles, is determined through rigorous evaluation.

• Our selection of journals published 1900-1944 involved:

• Examination of citation patterns within the existing coverage, 1945- present, to identify high-impact titles

• Assessment of multidisciplinary representation within the core group of high-impact journals of this era



Century of Science

• Over 850,000 articles from over 200 journals published 1900-1944

• Web of Science records include Author Cited References for this material

• Also included for each paper – the number of Times Cited, and links forward in time to these citing papers within the Web of Science

Results Analysis

When we analyze by Publication Year we find that Walkley’s 1934 article has been cited more frequently in the past four years than at any time since its publication


* Boyak KW and Backer A, "The Memory of Science", Submitted for Oral Presentation at the 9th International Conference on Scientometrics & Informatics, August 25-29 2003, Beijng China

Two Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently reported*…

“… the new ease of access to information [internet and novel technologies] has increased the proportion of older publications cited, despite a significant increase in the number of papers published each year, suggesting that scientists are relying less on their memory of recently published papers and relying increasingly on computer searches whose scope now extends to the last 50 years or so.”

Essentially, if researchers have access to published research that is “older” in nature, the intellectual

content of this material will be utilized.

Thomson Scientific now celebrates the release of a true “Century of Science” available on the

ISI Web of Knowledge platform.

Key term and Cited Reference searching, as well as Cited Reference linking and navigation will then be available

for the most important published research of the 20th Century -- the foundations of today’s discoveries.




Links to Other Web of Knowledge Databases

Every Web of Knowledge database has its own unique features and benefits

Links are provided when a record is shared with multiple databases



View unique indexing in BIOSIS Previews or journal citation information in Journal Citation Reports




Its Premise:

Thomson-Scientific has for decades captured author cited references (bibliographies) from journal articles that are indexed in the Web of Science and Current Contents. Journals indexed in these two databases are rigorously evaluated and selected for their international influence.

This data is extremely important in revealing precisely which journals publish content that is subsequently cited most frequently within papers presented in the most prestigious journals in the world.




Therefore…

- presents statistical data that provides a systematic, objective way to assist in the determination of the relative influence of journals within their respective subject disciplines.

- allows one to characterize journals uniquely, through citation patterns and relationships

- provides a unique method for examining relationships between journals and characterizing these journals through citation patterns.



Utilizing the JCR

• Librarians – to assist in the decision-making process with regard to journal collection development and maintenance.

• Authors - to help with decisions on manuscript submission, identify most frequently cited publications within various disciplines.

• Publishers - monitor the influence your journals and compare to competing journals.

• Editors - assist in the tracking the influence of editorial policies over time.

What are the benefits of Essential Science Indicators?

• Rankings– Use researchers’ acknowledgements (citations) to quantify top research

and indicate the influence of a scientist, institution, country, or journal

– Find the productivity of an institution (number of papers) as well as its influence (number of citations)

• Benchmark analysis– Use citation averages and percentiles to measure the relative influence of

research papers against others in the same field

• Editorial commentary– Gain a view of the scientific landscape through essays and articles;

offering context and background, not just numbers
