22. 22 Peter’s Digital Reference Shelf “ What makes Web of Knowledge stand out from the crowd is the synergy though the most powerful system of cited references that links millions of scholarly papers..” “Searching for cited and citing references may be too involved for many potential users, depending on software issues. The enhanced software of WOS shows that the process can be made easy and instantly rewarding” Charleston Advisor - “ For a citation index, it is of particular importance that the longest chronological scope possible be available” “ Most graduate students and faculty, will have considerable experience with WOS before arriving at their subsequent university, and will expect to find it and have its full capabilities present D Lib Magazine …. “ it is important for all researchers to note that until Google gives a full account of that it is indexing and how oftern that index is updated, it cannot be considered a true scholarly resource Consortia Relationships Web of Knowledge From the Reviewers Standpoint

25. 25 “I ordinarily use Web of Science and, to my opinion, this is the one of the best databases in the world.” Researcher, Czech Republic “By far my favorite tool for doing a literature review.” Medical Student, USA “Other tools have no such relevance as ISI, and they cannot provide the graph of the search results. That's why I like ISI so much.” Student, China “It's absolutely essential for all my research awareness today. Not only do I know the active areas of research, using ISI Web of Science, I also know who are the expert scientists in the field and I also get their contact addresses. This is excellent for me!” Neurobiologist, Sweden “Easy to use and a wide choice of journals,” Information Specialist, The Netherlands “I love the sheer power of the search capabilities” Student, Brazil “It provides up-to-date information in very convenient fashion. I like the categories, and find it easy to use.” Information Specialist, UK “The ability to mark the articles and return to a list of them is amazing.” Educator, Japan The Web of Knowledge is preferred by novice and expert researchers worldwide Web of Knowledge Advantages What Our Customers Say
