ISI Citation Database - New Interface
The ISI Citation Database has a new interface as well as some new features as of June 2005. The ISI Citation Database is also known under other names including Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Science Citation Index, Web of Science, and Web of Knowledge. Besides its usefulness as an index to scholarly literature, ISI is best known for its cited reference capability. That is, you can see who has cited a particular work.
One new feature of interest is the “Citation Alerts.” You can look up an article in the database and ask to be alerted by email whenever a new citation to that article appears in the database.
The “Analyze Results” feature enables you to rank a set of search results by several factors, including author, institution, and source title. For example, you might do a topical search and then analyze the results to see if the most work in that area is being done by particular authors or universities, or which journals publish the most articles in that field.
The “Related Records” feature allows you to take one article and see what other articles share the same references. A new enhancement to this feature ranks the articles by the number of reference shared with your chosen article and enables you to look at the specific references that are shared between them.
The ISI Citation Database is found on the library web page under “Research Databases” or by going to this URL: http://library.ohio-state.edu/search/y?SEARCH=isi .
