- #8 [Note – through database name recognition, this slide is to simply ensure that potential customers know exactly what the platform offers.]
- #12 Thomson Scientific - A culture of innovation with an emphasis on our customers 1961 Science Citation Index launched - In 1955, Dr. Eugene Garfield revolutionized scientific research with his concept of citation indexing and searching. Science Citation Index® (SCI) was launched in 1961 which included 562 journals and 2 million citations. 1966 Dialog online information retrieval system is o perational long before the commonplace use of the Internet. 1972 Dialog offers the first publicly available online research service. A company is born. MDC Founded and original mainframe/time-share IP management systems PatentMaster (Patents) and MarkMaster (Trademarks) launched. First ever patent payment service introduced. 1974 World Patents Index - In 1948 Monty Hyams would make frequent visits to the British Patent Office and identifying passages of particular interest in chemical patents. The line numbers were passed on to his father, who transcribed the passages in neat longhand. In 1974 his company Derwent provides complete coverage of patents from all technologies through launch of World Patents Index 1976 Derwent is one of the first organisations to go online with the first online implementation of WPI on the host SDS-ORBIT. 1989 MicroPatent is founded in 1989 in response to the needs of patent professionals who required electronic data in CD-ROM format. This is at a time when hard-copy documents were the norm. 1990 Derwent launches GENESEQ, the first database of sequences from patents, delivered in a format that runs on new sequence analysis software 1995 IDRAC global regulatory intelligence database is launched with 15 country modules. It is a CD-ROM product and the first of its kind. 1996 Techstreet (then called CSSINFO) launches first-ever web site for searching and ordering industry codes and standards online. 1997 ISI launches Web of Science providing seamless access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from approximately 8,700 of the most prestigious, high impact research journals in the world. The product is a breakthrough listing both the cit ed and cit ing works that allows researchers to move back in time to locate previously published papers but uniquely allowing you to move forward in time--to determine who has subsequently cited an earlier work. The database covers virtually all disciplines whereas traditional services are limited to a single field. 1998 MicroPatent becomes the first company in the world to provide PCT full text electronically. Similarly, the Company is the first to have US full text data back to 1836 and the first with published Great Britain applications back to 1916, among many others. 2000 Delphion is launched using IBM's existing Intellectual Property Network and uses it as the foundation for its marketplace, enables businesses to search, analyze, buy, sell and license millions of patents across different industries. Techstreet launches first-ever searchable database of industry standards and technical books combined. 2001 ISI develops ISI Web of Knowledge SM - the single, sophisticated platform that unites journal literature, patents, chemical compounds, and genetic sequencing, and integrates proceedings and additional print and electronic sources. Newport Horizon, a Web-based strategic intelligence system for generic and speciality pharma is released 2004 Thomson Pharma is launched - A dynamic information solution for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It is a single solution that professionals working at all stages of drug development can personalize to suit their needs. 2005 Century of Science makes hundreds of thousands of older, twentieth century scientific journal items available in one place and on one platform for the first time.
- #13 These of just a few examples, as more exist (Norway, Denmark, etc.). Also, these are arrangements are not limited to the Web of Science alone, but also include access to various other ISI Web of Knowledge databases.
- #15 Locate a single paper using traditional search techniques, this is the paper in the center of the screen. Click the “Cited References” link to see all the research that this discovery was based upon. Click the “Times Cited” link to see the more recent developments. Click “Related Records” to see research that is closely related to the original article. Related Records using the concept of co-citation to establish the relationship; based on the fact that similar items often cite the same thing.
- #16 The core component of the Web of Knowledge is the Web of Science. The Web of Science content has 4 key benefits to the user. First of all is the Authoritative content. Our team of highly qualified and experienced editors select journals for coverage using a stringent and time tested journal selection process. Because we are not associated with any primary publishers of academic journals our selection process is unbiased and impartial. We evaluate all types of journals including journals from commercial publishers, academic society journals, open access journals and electronic only journals.
- #19 The Web of Science is a truly multidisciplinary database of over 9,200 journals in 260 categories. This allows you to discover obscure relationships between disciplines and get the complete picture of any particular research topic. It also gives you a broad and even insight into the entire research community..
- #20 Although we recognize the importance of current information, we have found that some of the most influential research is often decades old, and without searching a historical you will be missing out on key information.
- #22 We might expect this of someone as famous as Einstein, but others?
- #25 As research areas develop the terminology associated with them also develops and one of the inherent weaknesses of traditional free-text searching is that a knowledge of the terminology of the topic is required before one can search for it. A good example of this can be shown with the changes in terminology of the virus that causes AIDS, now known as HIV. in 1983 the Institut Pasteur in France report their findings into the isolation of the “LAV” virus, and in 1984 the US National Cancer Institute separately reported the in-vitro isolation of the HTLV-III virus. Both terms refered to the same virus, and mixed usage of the two terms continues until 1987 when the research community adopt the new term “Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV”. There are also many variations such as SIV for monkey equivalent of the virus. A traditional free-text search on the term “HIV” will miss many of important papers in this field of research. A good example is the 1991 paper shown here, it refers to the HIV equivalent denoted as “SIVmac239” and the term HIV is not mentioned anywhere in the title or abstract. However, it is a very important and very influential paper that has been cited 994 times. Looking at the items which are citing this paper around 85% of them mention the term HIV so it clearly has been highly influential to HIV research and would be an easy paper to locate through citation navigation and related records searching.
- #28 The Web of Science is indeed the foundation of the ISI Web of Knowledge platform, the perfect foundation, and these characteristics make it so. Quality : Our team of highly qualified and experienced editors select journals for coverage using a stringent and time tested journal selection process Because we are not associated with any primary publishers of academic journals our selection process is unbiased and impartial.

- #41 We started on the national level and utilized one of our standard products: the National Science Indicators. This is a statistical database of the publication counts (that is – output) and citation counts (or impact) of all nations, worldwide, in either 24 broad or 106 narrow fields. The data covers the period 1981-2004 and we’ll look at in from a couple of different time frames This first slide shows the overall output of Brazil’s papers. As you can see, there has been a steady increase in publications. To add perspective, we looked at growth relative to world output, 1981-2005.
- #42 These measures are displayed in a 5 year rolling window to normalize the trend line. In the first window in the left, the average number of cites per Brazilian paper has risen almost 50% in the last 25 years, reflecting a growing use or impact of Brazilian research In the second window, we look at impact relative to the world average. The question is how close is a country above or below the world baseline value. While Brazil is below the baseline, there is positive slope to the trend as Brazil continues to raise the level of research.
- #43 Percent papers shows gross areas of research in terms of total papers. When we looked at Brazil’s papers in the 1981-2005 period, we saw that these 5 areas dominated the research output. These 5 fields account for 60% of Brazil’s research work. Relative specialization is an indicator of whether a country has a relatively higher or lower share in world publications in a particular field than its overall share in world total publications. Brazil’s world share of papers is 0.98%. Here, we see that for these 10 fields, the percentage share in each field is above 0.98% or overall share in world total publications. This means Brazilian contribution in these fields is strong, relative to its overall output of 0.98%
