What Are the Citation Databases?
The Web of Science accesses ISI's Citation Databases, which are multidisciplinary
databases of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly
journals. Using this Web product, you can search for a topic, author,
sourct title, and/or author address within the Citation Databases. Once
you find an article of interest, you have the ability to link directly
to other articles on the same topic. You can even access articles that
have been published after the article you are viewing; this is one of
the most powerful features of the Web of Science. [More
