Description:

The Web of Science interface provides online access to the Institute for Scientific Information Citation Databases. These databases are:

  • Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) (1900-present)

  • Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) (1956-present)

  • Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) (1975-present)

On the initial Web of Science screen, choose either “General Search” or “Cited Ref Search,” one or more of the citation databases listed above, and the year, or years, you wish to search. “Advanced Search” is also available.

Personalization: Click on “Change Settings” on any search page to see the database and timespan selections. You can change settings anytime. You can also create citation alerts by clicking on the “Create Citation Alert” button next to a full record.

The Analyze tool enables you to refine a search by drilling down to only the items of interest. You can analyze search results by Author, Document Type, Institution, Language, Publication Year, Source Title, and Subject Category.
