Availability of Records in All Databases Search
New Information!
Records become available in the All Databases Search function generally within 24 hours after we load them in Web of Science. As a result, you may retrieve fewer records in an All Databases search than in Web of Science during this delayed period. If you encounter this discrepancy, we suggest that you return later and run a new All Databases search.
