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.

Link to the Citing Articles

All author names captured, including the full name when available

Authors are linked to addresses making the affiliation clear

All addresses are captured and addresses are standardized for easy searching

Funding Acknowledgements are captured for easy identification of grant based research and commercial interests

Roll over any node to see the details.

Result save / export options include print, save, e-mail, marked list, alerting and RSS.

Can also export automatically to EndNote and EndNote Web

EndNote Web 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.
