Web of Science
The Web of Science, a large citation database that includes the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, is available for UD faculty, students and staff. The Web of Science is a product of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), long an innovator in the information industry. The database covers the years 1974-present, linking references to journal articles and footnotes to the articles to related articles across disciplines and across publishers, an effective means of doing a comprehensive subject search. To use the Web of Science select the "Databases" button from the Library web page <http://www.lib.udel.edu/> and scroll down alphabetically to the Web of Science.
The powerful technology of the Web of Science unlocks remarkable searching capabilities and enables Library users to search further, faster and more comprehensively than ever before. The links inherent in citation data (the footnotes of each article) allow a Library user to take a known, relevant journal article and find other, more recent articles that cite it. The Web of Science is the only database that indexes, links and delivers valuable footnote information from the world's leading science, social sciences and arts and humanities journals. Note that the content is not science only.
The Web of Science is a valuable research tool and a significant addition to the Library collection of electronic resources.
