View the results of your All Databases search in an abbreviated record format. All documents are sorted by Publication Date, the default sort option.
At the top of the page appears a summary of the search statement that retrieved the results, including the selected timespan. Example: Timespan=Latest 5 Years
Only records in your product subscription will appear in the results set. For example, if you have a subscription to Web of Science and Current Contents Connect, then you will see records from these two products. However, you will not see records from other Web of Knowledge products such as BIOSIS Previews or Derwent Innovations Index.
In general, duplicate records from more than one product will not appear on the Results page. However, you may see duplicate records for the same source item if the record has:
- An anonymous author
- A different first author
- A patent number whose format varies from product to product
Full Record
Click the title link of any record to view the Full Record. At the top of the Full Record page, the system will identify the product from where the record originates. For example, Record from Web of Science.
If your institution subscribes to multiple products such as Web of Science, Biological Abstracts, and Zoological Record, then the name of only one product (generally Web of Science) will appear at the top of the Full Record.
However, you can view the article of the same title in another database. Go to the Additional Information section in the right-hand column, and then click the link of the product. In many instances, you will find field information in that product that does not appear in the Web of Science record.
For linked names and terms that appear in a Full Record, click the link to retrieve all records in the product (within the selected timespan) that contain the selected author or term. The new set of results is automatically added to your Search History.
Select a check box to display a ranked list of items extracted from records on the Results page. The most frequently occurring items appear at the top of the list. The number in parentheses shows the number of records on the Results page that contain the item.
Select one or more check boxes, and then click Refine to display only the records that contain the selected items.
About the More Options / Values Link ...
Click the More Options / Values link within a category to display the first 100 items in that category. For example, if you click the Authors More link, the system displays the first 100 Authors sorted by record count.
You can further refine the results, exclude specific records, or sort records by record count or in alphabetical order.
Use the Analyze Results feature to use advanced refine options.
