indexResultsThis page displays the results of your search in an abbreviated record format. The left-hand column of the page contains the search statement that retrieved the results along with the number of results that the search retrieved. Click the More link to view the selected time span and any selected data restrictions such as document types and languages. All bibliographic records that appear on the Results page are source records. Source records are from items (journals, books, conferences, and patents) that we have indexed in a product. Every source record has a Full Record that you can access. Moreover, you can add every source record to your Marked List. indexSource titles that display on the Results page now are linked to the Journal Information Overlay for those records with known JCR Quartile Data using the same rules that currently exists in Web of Science for full records. The following pages in Web of Science are affected by this feature.
indexManaging LinksFor information about managing links, go to Managing Links. indexOpen access status is provided across the Web of Science platform as a result of a partnership with Our Research, a not-for-profit organization that recently launched a knowledgebase of Open Access (OA) content. This knowledgebase makes it possible to discover and link to legal Gold or Bronze (free content at a publisher's website) and Green (e.g., author self-archived in a repository) OA versions. This partnership improves discoverability and access to article-level OA versions not only by adding more links to OA content, but also by prioritizing the links to the best version of OA content when multiple versions of an article are available. Always consult the copyright owner for any re-use or licensing requests. You can learn more about OA on Web of Science at http://info.clarivate.com/openaccess. The OA status of a document can be one of the following:
On a results summary page, there is only a link to the best available free copy. If there is more than one free version available, links to other versions only appear in the Full Text Options menu on the record page for that article. When available, the final version of record at the publisher website is always preferred, followed by the final published version at a repository, and then by the accepted version at a repository. Links are always labeled with the version and whether they point to a publisher or repository. The following OA values are available as part of the export of the full record
Refining Results for Open Access The Web of Science Refine Results panel offers two methods to filter a set of search results to show only Open Access content:
indexEarly AccessEarly Access indicates an article that has been electronically published by a journal before it has been assigned to a specific volume and issue. These articles are also known as "articles in press" or "publish ahead of print" depending on the publisher's branding.. These articles provide earlier discoverability, and are fully indexed, including an online publication date from the publisher. These articles accrue Time Cited counts in this earlier stage of publication so the most complete view of the article's impact is preserved. Full Web of Science functionality, including alerts and export to output, is available. indexRefine Results Panel
indexAll Refine searches are added to the Search History table along with the results of your initial search from the Search page. indexMore Options / Values
indexYou can further refine the results, exclude specific records, or sort records by record count or in alphabetical order.
indexResearch Domains (Scope Notes)For more information about the research domains in the Refine Results feature, see our list of scope notes.
indexAnalyze ResultsSelect Analyze Results to go to the Analyze Results page and analyze the field data from your search. This feature allows you to extract data values from a selected field. The product then produces a report showing the values in ranked order. indexSearch Within Results ForTo filter or reduce results on the Results page, enter a Topic query in the Search within Results text box, and then click Search. This search returns only those records in the original set that contain the topic term(s) you enter. The search terms may appear in any order within a retrieved record. To search for an exact phrase within the results, enclose the phrase in quotation marks. All searches are added to the Search History table. indexCreate Citation ReportThis function is available to customers who subscribe to one or more of the following products:
The Create Citation Report link takes you to the Citation Report page where you can view aggregate citation statistics for the current set of records. Note that the link does not display for searches that contain more than 10,000 records. |
indexCreate AlertClick this button if you want to save your search as a Saved Searches alert. The product takes you to the Save Search History dialog where you can save the selected records as a search history. You must be a registered user and you must sign in to save your results as a search history. Your institution must have a subscription to alerting to save a search history as an alert, otherwise, the button does not display. Check with your system administrator to see if your institution subscribes to alerting. See Save Search History for more information. indexTimes CitedDisplays the total number of times a published work was cited by other works. Click the link to go to a Citing Articles page to view a Times Cited Counts table that shows the number of times the record has been cited from each of the citation indexes in Web of Science. Remember that access to records is limited to your institution's subscription. indexOutput RecordsOptions to output records are available from the Results, Full Record, and Marked List pages.

Highly Cited Papers lists the top cited papers over the past 10 years in each of 22 scientific fields. indexEN IconA red EN icon indicates the record has been saved to your EndNote online library. Click the icon to go to your library. This icon only appears if you have signed in and if the record is already in your EndNote library. See also EndNote indexChemical StructuresA Chemical Structure icon indicates the record contains structure data. You must have a subscription to the two chemistry databases in order to create structure drawings and to search for compounds and reactions. |
