3. What is Web of Science?
Web of Science is a platform consisting of several literature
search databases designed to support scientific and scholarly
research.
This unique combination of quality and objective assessment,
paired with superior access technology through OA links
and Kopernio makes WOS the most comprehensive product in
the industry, for researchers, institutions, and publishers to
discover, access and evaluate OA.

4. How it started?
In the 1960s Dr. Eugene Garfield envisioned how an index of
research citations would form a web of science or even more
a web of scientists and scholars in the social sciences and arts
and humanities a global network of the world's best research
woven across disciplines between nations languages and
terminology and even spanning time
Eugene Eli Garfield (1925 - 2017) was an American
linguist and businessman, one of the founders of
bibliometrics and scientometrics. He helped to create
Current Contents, Science Citation Index, Journal
Citation Reports, and Index Chemicus, among others,
and founded the magazine The Scientist.
