Web of Knowledge thomsonreuters.com

You'll save time and easily access reliable, relevant data that helps you generate novel ideas and research directions.

Superior collection development

For decades, the Thomson Reuters Editorial Development group has carefully selected journals for potential inclusion in the database, using a rigorous evaluation process not offered by primary publishers:

The objective is to include only the most influential, relevant, and credible journal information available. The editorial process serves as a filter, sorting out the irrelevant and presenting you with only the most influential resources. The criteria are detailed, unbiased, and time-tested – comprising time-tested publishing standards such as timeliness, editorial scope and objectives, and citation analyses. The process is 100% objective and publisher-neutral – commercial, open access, society and university publishers are treated equally.

The result of this ongoing collection development is quality by default. You’ll get not just more hits, but more quality, relevant hits.
