Web of Science contains more than a billion cited references and counting, including books, journal articles, patents, websites, conference proceedings and Open Access materials dating back to 1900. Web of Science is a painstakingly selected, actively curated database of the journals that researchers themselves have judged to be the most important and useful in their fields.
The Basics
Web of Science is a part of Clarivate's Scientific and Academic Research products & services. Watermark offers a built-in solution for your institution to make use of the Web of Science option for faculty/staff to quickly retrieve publications data found in the Web of Science Core Collection, which only houses items once they've been published in print for import into Faculty Success.
Web of Science imports also allow searching by ResearcherID. This is highly recommended because it is an ID unique to a specific person, and will result in far more accurate searches. For more information on Web of Science Research Profiles, visit https://clarivate.com/.
After configuring the integration for your institution, faculty/staff will be able to use the Import option from the Publications (Intellectual Contributions) section to find and import publications from this database.
