Description
Come learn about the Web of Science database. A Web of Science trainer from Clarivate (the database producer) will be on campus Wednesday April 3rd for two workshops. Web of Science is a powerful tool for finding research article citations. The database includes STEM, social sciences, and arts & humanities content. Web of Science’s particular and unique strength is as a citation index. This product makes it easy to move forward and backwards chronologically in the research trail. You can see the papers cited by an article and the articles that go on to cite the article later.
This session is open to students, faculty and staff.
