of Science (1997-present) Incudes Social Science Citation
Index.
Under "Go directly to a specific product," click on "ISI
Web of Science." Click on either "Full Search" or "Easy
Search (or, if you have not used this database before, click on "Information
for New Users" and "tutorial" for assistance).. Select
which citation index(es) you want to search. Why use Web of Science? 1)
To easily search over many disciplines; 2) To do Cited Reference Searching,
which is unique to ISI and lets you use a given work as if it were a
subject term to identify more recent articles on the same topic. For
example, you can find all works that reference articles published by
A. Williamson in 1995 in the Journal of Neurophysiology (J Neurophysiol).
This type of searching often locates relevant articles that cannot be
retrieved through traditional subject-author searching.
