New Web of Science Interface

The search interface for Web of Science (Science Citation Index et al.) has been updated. The new interface offers a number of advantages and enhanced features, summarized below.

(1) The default is now a federated search (Web of Science files and MEDLINE). One can easily switch to single file searching via prominent tab on the search page. The column on the right allows you to customize your access including saving searches and current awareness.

(2) The search results page is reformatted as follows. The refine/analysis features now appear on the left, rather than the right. Sort options remain in the upper right. Print/email/download features are clearly laid out at the top and bottom of the results page. The brief display gives clear full-text links and a link to the citing (forward in time) articles.

(3) When you mark articles on any results page, the checked articles are now automatically submitted to your "marked list" folder. You no longer need to manually save to your marked list before leaving the page.

(4) Search History (i.e., multiple sets) is now linked at the top of nearly every page: search page, brief results page, and individual record page.

(5) The individual record page has in the right-hand column links to citing articles, cited references, related records based on overlapping references in similar bibliographies, and records for that article in other databases.
