Records and Subscription Depth

The number of records in each article group is derived from all years of Web of Science Core Collection, which is 1900 to the present. Your subscription determines the actual number of records you may view. 

For example, a group may contain 50 records of articles published between 1977 and 2016. Ten of the articles were published between 1977 and 1985. If your subscription covers 30 years of data, then you will be able to view 40 of the 50 records--the records of articles published between 1986 and 2016.
