Web of Science (at Web of Knowledge)
Online Access: On/Off Campus. GALILEO Password required for off campus access.
Internet Explorer Users: cookies must be set to medium for this database to function properly.
Provides access to the combined Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index.
- Web of Science provides access to the Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index covering over 8,000 journal. These three databases can be searched separately, in any combination, or all at once. These databases are unique in that the user can search to find which articles have cited a certain author or article. This technique of doing research, called pearl growing, allows researchers to find articles that are related to an earlier work. Often this technique turns up articles which are not found through traditional subject and keyword searches.
