Web of Science
Description
The Web of Science is a collection of multidisciplinary databases. It includes
· Arts & Humanities Citation Index
· Science Citation Index
· Social Sciences Citation Index
You can search for specific articles by subject, author, and/or title in the indexes individually or at the same time. Because the information about each article includes the article's cited reference list (i.e., the bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a particular author or work. Searching for cited references often locates relevant articles that cannot be found through traditional searching techniques.
Search system is unusual in that it permits left-hand truncation in addition to the typical right-hand truncation (word stemming). The query '*degradation' retrieves degradation, photodegradation, biodegradation, etc.
Contains leads to citations with bibliographical references for articles from over 8,000 journals. Many of the references include author-prepared abstracts, as well as links to the full-text of articles if available.
