Web of Science is an abstract and citation database of peer – reviewed research literature. It is the oldest database and one of the two largest general research databases, Scopus being the other.
It can be used by students, authors, researchers, research managers etc. for literature searches and research evaluations.
Similar to Scopus its resources include peer-reviewed journals, open access journals , conference proceedings, trade publications, book series amongst others. It covers the areas of literature in science, medicine, engineering and the social sciences and arts and Humanities with varying coverage within different disciplines.
Web of Science generates citation results and automatically updated researcher records with selected bibliometric metrics. CWTS Leiden Ranking, University Ranking by Academic Performance and ARWU World University Ranking, which are strategically important rankings for SDU, are based on Web of Science data.
SDU has a subscription to Web of Science. SDU Analytics does not provide support on the use of Web of Science. Should the need for support arise it is possible to contact Web of Science Help directly in the top right corner of the system.
