It is over 50 years since
Dr Eugene Garfield envisioned
citation indexing tools that would allow researchers
to expedite their research process, evaluate the
impact of their work, spot scientific trends, and
trace the history of modern scientific thoughts. Dr
Garfield went on to build a company – ISI (now
Thomson Scientific) around these ideas.
Here we bring together essays and articles written by
Dr. Garfield and other Thomson Scientific staff
members, to provide in-depth explanatory information
for users of our citation databases and other
information tools.
ISI Web of Knowledge
covers over 22,000 journals, 23 million patents,
192,000 conference proceedings, 5,500 Web sites, 5,000 books, 2 million
chemical structures, and now scholarly Web content via the Web Citation
Index
What people are saying...
"We like that the ISI Web of Knowledge platform has what we need all in one
place..."
-Professor Elenera Chaves Edler de Almeida,
Access Coordinator for science and technology
information at Brazil's research and development consortium, (CAPES)
