Web of Knowledge Advantages
Powerful Search
Smart Discovery: The Web of Knowledge combines ease of use with unparalleled search power
• Premium Content is critical, but content alone is not enough to drive
discovery in today’s digital environment
• The strength of the ISI Web of Knowledge lies not only with the information it
contains, but quite simply with the way it works
– A common, easy-to-use interface modeled on the Web of Science is extended to all
bibliographic databases.
– Yet, for our Partners, the unique controlled-indexing strengths of each database is maintained.
Ease of Use + Search Power = Smart Discovery

Consortia Relationships
Web of Knowledge
From the Reviewers Standpoint
•
Peter’s Digital Reference Shelf
“ What makes Web of Knowledge stand out from the crowd is the synergy though the most powerful system of cited references that
links millions of scholarly papers ..”
“Searching for cited and citing references may be too involved for many potential users, depending on software issues. The
enhanced software of WOS shows that the process can be made easy and instantly rewarding”
•
Charleston Advisor -
“ For a citation index , it is of particular importance that the longest chronological scope possible be available”
“ Most graduate students and faculty, will have considerable experience with WOS before arriving at their subsequent university, and
will expect to find it and have its full capabilities present
•
D Lib Magazine ….
“ it is important for all researchers to note that until Google gives a full account of that it is indexing and how oftern that index is
updated, it cannot be considered a true scholarly resource
22
Consortia Relationships

“I ordinarily use Web of Science and,
“Easy to use and a wide choice of journals,”
to my opinion, this is the one of the
Information Specialist, The Netherlands
best databases in the world.”
Researcher, Czech Republic
“Other tools have no such relevance as ISI, and
“The ability to mark the articles
they cannot provide the graph of the search
and return to a list of them is amazing.”
results. That's why I like ISI so much.”
Educator, Japan
Student, China
“It's absolutely essential for all my research awareness
today. Not only do I know the active areas of research,
using ISI Web of Science, I also know who are the expert
scientists in the field and I also get their contact
addresses. This is excellent for me!”
Neurobiologist, Sweden
“It provides up-to-date
information in very convenient
fashion. I like the categories,
and find it easy to use.”
