Web of Science is a discovery platform that allows researchers to find essential information for their work, identify influential recent papers and citations between publications, and discover key researchers and appropriate journals and conferences. It covers over 60,000 journals from trustworthy sources, with the core collection including 12,500 high-quality journals that represent 80% of publications and 92% of cited papers. Web of Science provides powerful search and analysis tools to help researchers advance their work and personal brands.

Editor's Notes
- The Journal Selection Process has four main components. We examine over all Publishing Standards, Editorial Content, International Diversity appropriate to the journal’s target audience, and Citation Analysis. Under Publishing Standards > are basic features such as timeliness of publication ( All journals must be publishing on time at either the issue or article level), adherence to international editorial conventions, appropriate inclusion of English language content, and, of course, Peer Review. Peer Review is essential for all journals publishing original research. We are always in search of novel Editorial Content > seeking to enrich subject coverage in Web of Science. International Diversity > that is appropriate for the subject and the journal’s target audience is important. For journals publishing research targeted at the international scholarly community, we hope to see broad international diversity among the authors and editorial advisory board members. This requirement is modified accordingly for journals that target a regional or national audience. Citation analysis > at the level of the journal or, in the case of brand new publications, at the level of contributing authors and editorial advisory board members, is key. There are many ways to check for importance and influence and Citation Impact is prominent among them. At the journal level we estimate Impact Factor and look at total citations. For contributing authors and editors we check citations to their prior work. We are building a citation index and seek to include those journals that participate in the discourse on a particular topic by way of citation exchange. Note also, that citation analysis is always done relative to the editorial context of the journal. Likewise, we do not compare the citation performance of a purely regional journal with an international journal in the same subject area. The more specific the context, the more useful are citation analyses. All of these points are important to us. We cannot, for example, move forward with a journal that is unable to produce issues or post articles in a timely manner. We are reluctant to accept journals that publish more or less derivative studies or that report on a topic of international interest without adequate international representation of results. And we are less interested in journals that have relatively poor uptake in the surrounding literature by way of citation.
- The MOST IMPORTANT thing we do that sets us apart from other tools is the fact that we index cited references For a given article, we don’t just capture the title, authors’ names, and abstract we also capture the entire bibliography/works cited list, References are: Searchable and navigable you can easily move from one point in the literature to another to determine how highly cited a paper is and answer the question– “how has this paper influenced future research?” In terms of coverage, our philosophy is to index the cream of the crop of scholarship: Multidisciplinary–covers basic folklore to robotics. International in scope: indexes journals published in over 45 languages Influential– It is not our intention to index every single journal ever published in the world we have a team of experts whose job it is to be constantly analyze and assess the literature to determine which publications are the most important in each field of research– which are the most influential, most cited journals
- Dr Eugene Garfield, the founder of ISI, in 1955 published a paper in the journal Science that exposed the concept of citation indexing to a wide audience within the scientific community. This paper communicated a philosophy that is the core of the Web of Science (and Web of Knowledge for that matter) today – the provision of links between published works on a multidisciplinary scale. A resource for driving discovery.
- WHY IS THIS VALUABLE TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY/TO RESEARCHERS? Because it allows to draw the complete picture, prior art. Allows you to move forward and backward in time, discovering relationships between published works as determined by the articles authors Find new, unknown information based on older, known information Track use of your research or a competitor’s research Backward through “Cited References” Uses cited references as subject terms Explore hidden connections between research papers. Citations symbolize the association of scientific ideas. Taking into account citations is very important because they show how others use a work in subsequent research and therefore can give us valuable clues as to how/and in which direction science is evolving in given fields. .
