For me it has elevated the role of the Library in the academic project. The Library is now a recognised partner in research impact reporting, thanks to the Web of Science.”

Paiki Muswazi University Librarian, University of the Witwatersrand

The broad scope of the Web of Science has allowed me to search in interdisciplinary fields for appropriate literature in my own work as well as assisting students with their research process. The ability to search for older citations to locate seminal work is vital.”

Librarian, Educational Institution

As a teaching tool, the Web of Science is unsurpassed in its indexing and the ease with which students can focus on specific subject categories. Undergraduates gain a new perspective on how to refine a search topic and can quickly see what areas of research are more active in terms of papers written in a discipline within a certain time frame.”

Alison Ricker Head, Science Library, Oberlin College

… I find the Web of Science to be an extremely useful tool. From creating alerts based on national/federal funding to prioritize the recruitment of articles for our institutional repository to my own research studies involving co-citation analysis to helping student researchers in many different subject areas, the Web of Science has been incredibly versatile!”
