Abstract
The seventh article in the series “An update in the search for scientific information” is focused on a brief review of the main features in Web of Science (WOS). This is a platform that includes multidisciplinary databases of bibliographic information from various citation indexes, as well as other additional resources which range from tools for research impact evaluation and analysis, to a bibliographic management tool. In Spain, it can be accessed through a national licence managed by the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT-Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology). This article is focused particularly in those databases for citation indexes, which form the main collection of the WOS. The basic search and advanced search options are explained; as well as the options of the history to combine and save searches, and to generate alerts, through the Registered User option, a well as the potential to visualize, refine, and save results.
