12. Lisa Haddow: University of Stirling Comparison of BIDS ISI with WoS Citation searching BIDS ISI (enhanced) n First author only n Can search for a particular paper Web of Science n First author required only if full reference not in WoS n From Quick Search - Searching for any work that cites this author - not particular paper - To find citations to a particular paper need to find that reference in the database then click on Times cited link

13. Lisa Haddow: University of Stirling Comparison of BIDS ISI with WoS Citation searching (contd.) Web of Science n From Full search - Select Cited Reference search - much easier - can search for a particular paper - To see the references which cite your paper click on link to original paper and then on Times Cited link

14. Lisa Haddow: University of Stirling Comparison of BIDS ISI with WoS Current awareness BIDS ISI (enhanced) n Saved searches - saved on BIDS system and retrieved using identifier - can be run against any system updates since search last carried out Web of Science n Run saved query - saved on local disc - can be run against last weeks update only
