KeyWords Plus® are index terms automatically generated from the titles of cited articles. KeyWords Plus terms must appear more than once in the bibliography and are ordered from multi-word phrases to single terms. KeyWords Plus augments traditional keyword or title retrieval.

Corresponding Address (Previously Reprint Address)

The address of the corresponding author. It appears after the corresponding author name. A corresponding address may include:

  • Corresponding author
  • Organization
  • Suborganization
  • Street
  • City
  • State or Province
  • Zip or Postal Code

If an address has a preferred organization name, then an Expand icon appears before the address.

Addresses

The addresses of all authors as supplied by the source journal.

The number before the address is associated with the author name that appears in the Author(s) field with the same (superscript) number.

Most records of articles published in 2008 or later link an address to an author name via a number in superscript next to the author name.

E-mail Addresses

The e-mail address of the author(s).

This field contains funding information from the source document. Web of Science Core Collection has been capturing funding information since 2008 in SCI-Expanded and since 2015 in SSCI. The Funding Agency table also lists the Preferred Funding Agency names when available.

In 2021, Web of Science began supplementing the grant information with grant agencies, grant numbers, and additional grant details ingested directly from online grant repositories.

Funding Agency Name

The funding agency names provided in the funding information are listed in the Funding Agency table. When a preferred name is available (see the Preferred Funding Agency list for a listing of funding agency names that have been unified) it is listed in the table. Click show details to see the original names for those rows that list the preferred funding agency by default.

Note that some preferred funding agency names are a part of a hierarchy. For example, the NIH, “National Institutes of Health (NIH) – USA” is the preferred name for NIH, and United States Department of Health & Human Services is its the parent agency:

United States Department of Health & Human Services

National Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA

Appeared in source as NIH

Grant Number

Funding information usually includes an ID number or code assigned by the funding agencies for a specific funding project. Examples of these are grant numbers, project numbers, and program numbers.

In Web of Science Core Collection, this identifier is called a grant number.

Grant numbers in the Web of Science Core Collection come from three sources

  • Funding acknowledgment text indexed from the original publication

  • MEDLINE data that corresponds to publications in the Web of Science Core Collection

  • Funding details acquired directly from online grant repositories.

In 2008, Web of Science Core Collection began indexing funding acknowledgment text provided with the original publications.

In 2016, Web of Science Core Collection began supplementing the grant information with grant agencies and grant numbers from MEDLINE and researchfish®. Records that already contained grant information will not be changed. Records that did not have grant information were updated with grant information from MEDLINE and researchfish®.

In 2021, Web of Science Core Collection began supplementing the grant number data with grant data ingested directly from online grant repositories. Records with grant numbers from the funding text or from MEDLINE may display the same or similar grant numbers captured directly from the online grant repository.

Funding Text

Click View funding text to view the acknowledgment of support indexed from the source document.

Funding sources that supported the research may be identified by the source article. Generally, this information is found in the acknowledgment section which often comes before the references at the end of the article. You may also find funding information at the end of the abstract or with address information.

Grant Information

Click Show Details next to a grant number to see additional funding detail

Grant information details comes from funding acknowledgment text indexed from articles in Web of Science Core Collection; indexing began in 2008.

Grant information is publicly available on many websites like researchfish®, FedReporter, and the US National Science Foundation (NSF).

In 2016, Web of Science Core Collection began supplementing the grant information with grant agencies and grant numbers from MEDLINE. Records that already contained grant information did not change, but records that did not have grant information were updated with grant information from MEDLINE.

In 2021, Web of Science Core Collection began supplementing the grant information with grant agencies, grant numbers, and additional grant details ingested directly from publicly available online grant repositories. These additional funding details may include grant title, grant description, total award amount, primary investigators, key words, and other descriptive fields when available from the grant repository.

The publisher of the source document. Includes the publisher name and publisher address.

Note: See our Master Journal List for a list of our publications.

Table of Contents: Current Content Connect®

This field contains a link to the Current Contents Connect® Browse Journals page where you can browse the table of contents of journals and books covered by the editions and collections to which you subscribe in Current Contents Connect.

Performance Trends: Essential Science IndicatorsSM

This field contains a link to Essential Science Indicators where you can perform in-depth analysis to find data for ranking scientists, institutions, countries, and journals. With Essential Science Indicators, you can:

  • Explore science performance statistics and science trends data, based on journal article publication counts and citation data
  • Determine research output and impact in specific fields of research
  • Evaluate potential employees, collaborators, reviewers, and peers

Impact Factor: Journal Citation Reports®

The Journal Impact Factor is defined as all citations to the journal in the current JCR year to items published in the previous two years, divided by the total number of scholarly items (these comprise articles, reviews, and proceedings papers) published in the journal in the previous two years.

Though not a strict mathematical average, the Journal Impact Factor provides a functional approximation of the mean citation rate per citable item. A Journal Impact Factor of 1.0 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited one time. A Journal Impact Factor of 2.5 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited two and a half times. The citing works may be articles published in the same journal. However, most citing works are from different journals, proceedings, or books indexed in Web of Science Core Collection.

Document Type

The selected document type. For example, Article, Book, or Conference Proceedings.

Book Chapter Count

The total number of chapters in a book.

Some records in Web of Science may have two document types: Article and Proceedings Paper.

An Article is generally published in a journal. A Proceedings Paper is generally published in a book of confernece proceedings. Records covered in the two Conference Proceedings indexes (CPCI-S and CPCI-SSH) are identified as Proceedings Paper. The same records covered in the three indexes (SCI-E, SSCI, and A&HCI) are identified as Article when published in a journal.

Language

The selected language of the source document.

Accession Number

A unique identifying number associated with each record in the product. It consists of a product identification code and a unique item number.

PMID

PubMed ID. The PubMed ID is available for records of documents that have corresponding records in MEDLINE.

ISBN

The International Standard Book Number is a unique machine-readable identifier that marks a book unmistakably.

The format is a 10-digit number that contains 3 hyphens (-). The last digit is a check character, which may be a number or an X. The position of the hyphens can vary for each ISBN identifier. Example: 978-0-387-36949-5

ISSN

The International Standard Serial Number is a unique eight-digit number that identifies periodical publications such as journals and electronic publications. If a journal has both a print ISSN and an electronic ISSN, then both display. The format is four numbers, a hyphen (-), three numbers, and then a check character that may be a number or X. Example: 1367-4803

eISSN

The Electronic International Standard Serial Number is a unique eight-digit number that identifies periodical publications such as journals and electronic publications. If a journal has an electronic ISSN, then that number display in this field. The format is four numbers, a hyphen (-), three numbers, and then a check character that may be a number or X. Example: 1367-4803

The Cited References count displays the number of documents cited by the current record. Click the link to view the list of cited references. From there you can view the full record of each cited reference. (Access to the full records of cited references may be limited to your institution's subscription.)

Some articles have enriched the cited references with additional context that is designed to capture the author’s intent when citing references in the body of their article including:

  • how many times a reference was cited within this article so that you know how impactful it was to the author

  • what references are cited in proximity so that you know which references are most related

  • where in the body of the article it was cited so that you know why the reference might have been cited (ie, references from the introduction or beginning of an article are foundational articles whereas references from the material and methods section may related to how the experiment was structured).

A visualization accompanies these enriched cited references in which a dot indicates each time a cited reference was cited within the body of the article. Hover on the dots to see which reference the dot represents. Click on the “View in-text mention” to navigate down to the cited reference of interest and see which other references were cited nearby, which suggests a close degree of relatedness.

You may also sort the enriched cited references to view them in the order of first appearance (most like a traditional bibliography); by all appearances (so you can see which references were cited near each other; and by Cited in article-Highest (so you can surface the must-read, most impactful references if you are pressed for time).

This enhancement has been released in a beta format. At initial release, it is available for selected content from Web of Science Core Collection only. We welcome feedback to inform future enhancements.

Any or all of the following fields may appear in a record, depending on the content and type of the source document. If no data are available for a particular field, then the field does not display.

Field Description

In this section of a record, view a list of records you might find interesting based on the current record. It can help you discover other relevant records.

We use anonymous usage data from all our users to populate this list. When someone visits a full record page and also visits another record page, these two topics may relate to a similar topic. When we analyze millions of these relationships, we can start to gain more confidence in the connection between records.

If a record does not display a You May Also Like section, it is likely due to there not being enough data to populate a list.

Times Cited

The Times Cited count is the number of articles in the database that cite the current article. Click the number to go to the list of citing articles.

Compounds

If the record was retrieved from Index Chemicus, new compounds reported in the article are listed below the bibliographic record.

Reactions

If the record was retrieved from Current Chemical Reactions, reactions from each new synthetic method reported in the source article are listed below the bibliographic record.

 

Title

The full title of the journal article, conference proceeding, book, book chapter, and so on.

A book chapter record is the title of the book chapter. The source is the title of the book. If the title and the source are the same, then it is always a book.

By

The names of all authors. You may see two versions of an author name in records of articles published in 2006 and later. Be aware that you must still search for an author by last name followed by one or more initials.

A superscript number may appear after an author's name. This means we have found an association between the author's name and the author's address. When you click the number link, the system takes you to the Addresses field where you can see the author's address.

In some cases, an author may be assigned more than one address and you will see more than one superscript number. In other cases, an author may not be assigned an address while other authors of the same article are assigned an address. This occurs when we cannot determine which address is associated with an author.

The product maintains the author / address association when you print, e-mail, save, and export records. In the Address field of your output document, look for the author's name before the address.

Group Author(s)

The name of the organization or institution that authored the source document. For example, the IEEE and Down Syndrome Res Grp.

Book Author(s)

The names of one or more book authors.

Book Group Author(s)

The names of one or more institutional authors of a book such as IEEE.
