Upcoming Web of Science Webinar 28 March 2019

Join the webinar Citations have not been created only for being counted! Find interesting reads by citation navigation and understand what Dr Garfield really meant when he named his citation network an “association-of-ideas index”. (in English).

The Web of Science contains a pool of 1.5 Billion cited references that can be searched and leveraged for information retrieval. In this short session, a Web of Science expert from Clarivate Analytics will use real-life examples in very specific topics to demonstrate how citation navigation across the Web of Science universe allows researchers to uncover important publications in their topics.
