Web of Science is a multi-disciplinary research tool that allows one to search for cited references. This allows one to come forward in time with a research thread -- an extremely useful and unique capability. In addition, it provides a measure of the impact of journal and the overal contribution of the author.

In this seminar you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of Web of Science. Moreover, you will become familiar with some of the lesser known features that can help you get the most out of this database.
