Web of Science
(Science Citation / Social Science Citation /Arts and Humanities Citation Indexes)
(1955/1986) 1999-

Search by topic, author, journal title, author's institution, cited author, cited work, and cited year. This index is especially useful for searching interdisciplinary fields -- like urban planning -- and for finding articles which have cited a known article or author. Cited reference searching allows you to track quickly moving fields, to determine if a theory or technique has been confirmed or modified, and gauge the influence of an article. Once you find an article of interest you can look at its bibliography (“Cited References”) and also “Related Records” of articles which share common intellectual ancestors.
Covers no discipline in depth but covers 8500 major journals in all fields.
