ISI Web of Science coverage extended through 1991.
The Rice Library has been able to purchase 3 years of additional backfiles of Web of Science; coverage of this database now extends from 1991 to the present. ISI Web of Science consists of five high-quality databases containing information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals in all areas of research: Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Index Chemicus, Current Chemical Reactions. The three citation databases contain the references cited by the authors of the journal articles they cover. You can use these cited references as search terms. A cited reference search enables you to use a published work that you know to find other, later works that cite it.
