Highly dynamic, personal research intelligence solution
intuitively delivers content whenever it is needed
LONDON, July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in
providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace
of innovation, today unveiled significant enhancements to the Web
of Science™ offering researchers a highly dynamic, personal
and indispensable research assistant through a host of new features
and a redesigned user interface.
The Web of Science is the world's most trusted
publisher-independent global citation database, home to an
unrivalled breadth of world-class research literature linked to a
rigorously selected core of journals. It enables the global
research community to track ideas across disciplines and time from
almost 1.9 billion cited references from over 171 million
records.
The new Web of Science simplifies how the index's world-class
data and analytics are presented, accessed and used, allowing for a
smooth and intuitive user experience. The new features include:
- The Web of Science Author Impact Beamplots – A new
visualization tool that showcases the range of a researcher's
publication and citation impact in a single data exhibit. Any
researcher with publications in the Web of Science Core Collection™
can examine their own beamplot, providing contextual insights
around their personal research performance to better support
responsible research evaluation.
- Enriched Cited References (Beta) – Selected journals now
feature a new visualization tool which helps researchers navigate
cited references by time, proximity, location and number of
citations. This additional context around citation showcases the
author's intent and helps to gauge overall impact.
- Funding data – Every publication linked to a funded
project now features additional information such as Award Date,
Total Award Amount, Primary Investigator and more. The funding
details are captured directly from online grant repositories hosted
by funding agencies from a wide range of funding bodies and support
more comprehensive research assessment.
- Patent to article citations – Researchers now have a
simplified view of patent families in a single table and 50% more
patent-to-article citation links when querying the Derwent
Innovations Index™ from the Web of Science. Clearly displaying the
links between research and patents helps researchers demonstrate
impact and aids discovery of specific research linking to
patents.
- Share a search query – It is now possible to copy a
search query in the Web of Science, making it easier to share
searches directly with other researchers and supporting
collaboration.
- Advanced search workflow – Now includes a query builder
that re-uses the search history to make precision searching easier
and faster for all users.
- Export Citation Report – Streamlined data export
workflow so users may export up to 1,000 records at one time,
saving them time and simplifying complex data pulling.
- Export into RIS reference format – Users can now export
into the RIS reference format from the Web of Science Core
Collection, into EndNote™ and many other bibliographic management
tools, providing more choice for researchers.
- Article recommendations – A new feature to encourage
serendipitous discovery, helping researchers uncover papers that
they might not have found with their search strategy.
The new Web of Science is also designed to support a range of
future developments, including personalized home pages, author
alerts and article-level metrics. It works in tandem with My
Research Assistant, the mobile application that enables scientific
researchers to easily search, save and share Web of Science
publication records using their mobile devices. The app ensures
researchers can stay informed of the latest research developments
within their personal and professional fields of interest, with the
ability to search and save research publication records, create
reading lists and curate a personalized feed that reflects their
chosen topics of interest – wherever they might be.
Keith Collier, Senior Vice
President of Product, Science at Clarivate said: "The new Web of
Science enables the research community to turn great ideas into
real world outcomes. We have invested in advanced resources and
tools designed to accelerate the pace of discovery and improve the
researcher experience to create the most powerful Web of Science
yet – intuitively delivering what researchers need, when they need
it, wherever they are."
Clarivate has sought extensive feedback from customers in
building the new Web of Science, which has been available for
preview since November 2020. The
application now offers researchers a more responsive and
personalized user experience through improved search capabilities,
faster page loads, greater accessibility for the visually or
physically impaired, and more responsive design for mobile
viewing.
