Web of Science – What is a citation?

Citation Index - The Value Add

The language of research is constantly changing, as research progress concepts and terminology evolve.

• Text based searching may miss critical information • Network linkages through citations facilitate the discovery of

information across the boundaries of terminology

LAV (Europe)

HTLV-III (USA)

HIV + many variants, “SIV”

1983 1987 Present Future

???

This particular article is highly

cited and relevant, but does not

contain the term “HIV”

Therefore, this record cannot be

found by searching for the text

“HIV” but is easily found by using

citations

Citation Index – The Value add

Instant Citation Reports to

easily evaluate research

and identify trends

Visualize citations using the

Citation Map. Identify trends

and track research pathways

The separate data sources

are selectable for specific

search objectives

Search lemmatization: Generate

more comprehensive results.

Searching for “tooth” will also retrieve

alternates such as “teeth”

Sort the results by “Times Cited” to

identify the most influential research

No limits to the number of

search results.

Refine results to efficiently narrow the

search or run a detailed analysis of the

entire result set

Expandable abstracts

for easy browsing

The Analyze feature is a powerful

analytical tool to identify trends and

refine searches. Export of the

analysis is simple

Identify the top countries for a

particular research topic…

…or any other field

And identify trends

Citation Report provides an

instant overview of the publication

and citation history

Summary statistics and a

breakdown per article are

provided.

Archiving Search Results

Sharing Information

Formatting Bibliographies

Writing efficiently

Share folders with colleagues, for example a research group or the reading list for a class

Permanently archive results. Organize results around your different projects etc.

Cite While You Write™

As you write an article – search your EndNote Web for items you wish to cite

Automatically insert the complete bibliography of the paper and format to the style you require. Saves researchers and students a huge amount of time, enabling them to focus on writing the article

EndNote Web is included as part of

the Web of Knowledge platform, fully

integrated with the Web of Science

and ResearcherID

ResearcherID is a freely available website

where researchers can register themselves

and list their publications. A useful tool to

help researchers increase their global

visibility and network with other researchers

ResearcherID also includes basic citation

metrics, available to the public

ResearcherID also includes network

analysis tools for co-author and citing

articles.
