New Database: ISI Web of Knowledge


ISI Web of Knowledge contains:
  • 13,000 journals
  • 23 million patents
  • 192,000 conference proceedings
  • 9,100 Web sites
  • 5,000 books
  • 2 million chemical structures
  • Over 100 years of backfiles
  • 40 million cited references added annually
  • 256 subject categories in Science, Social Sciences, and Arts and Humanities, covering the full range of scholarship and research.
ISI Web of Knowledge offers these benefits:

If you publish, you'll find high impact articles upon which to base your articles — increasing the quality and credibility of your published work, resulting in more publication in more prestigious sources.
If you research, you'll be able to quickly identify potential collaborators with prolific, significant citation record. And tracking your own citation record will help you demonstrate your work's impact on your field.
If you teach, your students will be assured of using the highest quality resources — finding valuable information in journals they may not have the knowledge and experience to seek on their own.
