Transitioning

New Features

• An easy-to-use tabular format – Choose to search across all databases, an individual database, or additional resources such as relevant websites and analytical and administrative tools.
• All-database search – The new ISI Web of Knowledge takes a unique approach to the multi-database search. It uses one common vocabulary that recognizes the varying terms used by different databases and maps them to a unified subject classification. Which means that a search with ISI Web of Knowledge will find all relevant items that may have originally been categorized differently. Newer terms recognize older terms. And specialized terms from one database recognize specialized terms from another.
• Refine your search – You can narrow down your results using categories meaningful to your search, including subject area, document type, author, language, and other terms that help you pinpoint the data you need.
• Citation results and related records are clearly highlighted in individual full records, helping you use these powerful tools to find a wider variety of relevant articles.

You also have free access to EndNote Web, which is fully integrated into ISI Web of Knowledge. Organize, store and share your references online, speeding the research, writing and publishing process. EndNote Web helps users easily access and organize references online, search ISI Web of Knowledge, PubMed® and hundreds of library OPACs directly, share EndNote Web folders with colleagues, and easily transfer files to EndNote on the desktop for further management.
