The HSL has added new resources to our Web of Science subscription: Citation Connection databases, Journal Citation Reports (with a brand-new interface), and Essential Science Indicators.
The Citation Connection databases add a vast amount of content to Web of Science: more than 150,000 conference proceedings, 50,000 scholarly books, 3.3 million data studies and data sets, 23.6 million inventions, more than 51.8 million patents, and much more. This added content will impact the depth and scope of NYMC faculty research. The following table gives the names, inclusive date ranges, and descriptions of each Citation Connection database within Web of Science:
| Conference Proceedings | Book Citation Index | Data Citation Index | Biosis Citation Index | Derwent Innovations Index | Zoological Records | Current Contents Connect | Current Chemical Reactions | Index Chemicus |
| 1990-Present | 2005-Present | 1900-Present | 1926-Present | 1963-Present | 1864-Present | 1998-Present | 1985-Present | 1993-Present |
| The fastest way to gain access to cutting edge, impactful research derived from conference proceedings literature. | Indexes over 50,000 editorially selected books with 10,000 new books added each year — from 2005 to present. | Provides a single point of access to quality research data from repositories across disciplines and around the world. | Life sciences and biomedical research covering pre-clinical and experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, and more. | Value-added patent information from Derwent World Patent Index© as well as patent citation information from Patents Citation Index©. | The world’s leading taxonomic reference and oldest continuing database of animal biology. | Complete tables of contents and bibliographic information from the world’s leading scholarly journals and books. | Contains over one million reactions — dated to 1986. | Contains over 2.6 million compounds — dated to 1993. |
To access any of these databases, go to Web of Science and click the orange arrow at the top of the screen:
Journal Citation Reports allows researchers to evaluate and compare journals using citation data drawn from approximately 12,000 scholarly and technical journals and conference proceedings from more than 3,300 publishers in more than 60 countries. (Click here for off-campus access to JCR.)
Essential Science Indicators is a unique compilation of performance statistics and trends extrapolated from counts of articles published in scholarly journals and the citations to those articles. By means of citation statistics, this resource allows users to explore influential researchers, institutions, and articles in particular fields of study. (Click here for off-campus access to ESI.)
