Chapter 6 Web of Science Search Example 2: An Author Search (p. 118) and Cited Reference Search Ex. 1: Finding Articles that Cite a Book (distinguishing between two search modes) pp. 118 - 121 Librarian’s Guide to Cultivating Database Skills for Research and Instruction

2. 2 Beyond the Textbook moment - Reminder Depending on your institution’s Web of Science subscription, you may need to change the “All Databases” option to just the “Web of Science Core Collection” option to more closely replicate the searches in the textbook.

3. 3 Our search for journal articles by Stephen Hawking… (address field included to ensure we’re getting the right Hawking) Easy-peasy: Basic Search. This Author WROTE the articles. Our search for journal articles by Stephen Hawking… (address field included to ensure we’re getting the right Hawking) Easy-peasy: Basic Search. This Author WROTE the articles. Got that? Basic Search = Journal.Articles. BY [Person] or ABOUT [Topic]. But finding journal articles that CITE an earlier work (of almost any document type) – that is different. That’s a job for – the Cited Reference Search!

4. 4 Before we plunge in – here is the image from the textbook that I created to try to show graphically the relationship between the WoS article database and its cited reference database. I thought the color and ability to resize might make it more useful. (it really helps to get this straight in your mind before getting into cited reference searching)

5. 5 Let’s do this. Who has been citing James Watson’s The Double Helix lately?

6. 6 And don’t forget (select all of the indexes): Nice that they tell you

7. 7 Which produces… the “blammo” effect of the Cited Reference Index display (for a very well-known and frequently cited work). As the Hint at the beginning of the page says: Hint: Look for cited reference variants (sometimes different pages of the same article are cited or papers are cited incorrectly). Name variants… …and page variants… …result in 20* different ways people have cited this work. *Embarrassing textbook correction moment: “30” variations should be “20” on p. 120. *Embarrassing textbook correction moment: “30” variations should be “20” on p. 120.

8. 8 (blue checked boxes all the way down the page) 1: 2: A cascade of journal articles, from across the spectrum of disciplines*!

9. 9 *across the spectrum: take a look at the whole list you get when you click the “Web of Science Categories – more options / values…” to see what I mean!
