Web of Science

The Web of Science consists of five separate multidisciplinary citation indexes that can be searched independently or in combination. Included are the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and two Conference Proceedings Citation Indexes, for the Sciences and Social Sciences.  Indexing over 1.1 million records and more than 23 million cited references per year from over 8,000 scholarly journals, the Web of Science contains bibliographic information on all types of documents appearing in journals including articles, citations, letters, corrections, additions, excerpts, editorials and reviews.

Information from these indexes can be retrieved by author, subject term, journal title, address, and cited reference (or bibliography). Direct links to full-text from the full record display screen are provided only for journals published by the Academic Press, American Institute of Physics, Annual Reviews, Elsevier Science, IEEE, Kluwer, Nature Publishing Group, Royal Society of Chemistry, SIAM, Springer-Verlag and Wiley. For other journals, please check Get It! or the Library Catalogue to determine if we have a subscription to the journal.

Includes access to the Endnote Web citation manager: accounts must initially be created from within the McMaster ip range.
