  • Web of Science is an online academic service provided by Thomson Reuters. It provides access to seven databases: Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), Index Chemicus, Current Chemical Reactions, Conference Proceedings Citation Index: Science and Conference Proceedings Citation Index: Social Science and Humanities. Its databases cover almost 10,000 leading journals of science, technology, social sciences, arts, and humanities and over 100,000 book-based and journal conference proceedings.
  • The seven citation indices listed above contain references which have been cited by other articles. One may use such citations to undertake cited reference searching, that is, locating articles which cite an earlier publication. One may also search the three citation databases by topic, by author, by source title, and by address. The two chemistry databases allow for the creation of structure drawings, thus enabling users to locate chemical compounds and reactions.
  • Use of the Web of Science is licensed to institutions such as universities and the research departments of large corporations, generally through access to the Web of Knowledge.
