ISI: Web Of Science

June 2002: new version

UW Libraries moves to a new version of ISI's Web of Science in June 2002, with more features. Now each search statement is logged as a "set" so you can create more focused searches, combine cited reference searches with key word searches, and remove "self citations." You can also save and reuse your search sets later to stay current on your chosen topics.

Remote Access Currently Unavailable

The Web of Science is currently unavailable to off-campus users via the proxy server. ISI, the vendor, has been contacted about the problem and we hope to have a solution shortly. Updated: Friday, July 12, 2002

Log on to ISI Web of Science Databases.
