Hello Dr. Hamzah:

Thank you for contacting Thomson Reuters Customer Care.

1. Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was acquired by Thomson in 1992, and is now called as Thomson Reuters Web of Scien ce. There is no difference between Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)­Web of Knowledge and Thomson Reuters­WoS in coverage.

2. We have approximately more than 33,000 journals indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and more than 19, 000 journals are indexed in Web of Science Core Collection (WoS CC).

3. Only journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Index are eligible for Impact Fac tor calculation. Journals indexed in Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) will not appear in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Because in this area a large amount of work is done in books rather than in journals.

4. Databases in Web of Science:

Web of Science Core Collection Biological Abstracts BIOSIS Citation Index BIOSIS Previews CABI Chinese Science Citation Index Current Contents Connect Data Citation Index Derwent Innovation Index

FSTA ­ the food science resource Inspec Korean Citation Index MEDLINE Russian Science Citation Index SciELO Citation Index Zoological Record

Citation Indexes in Web of Science Core Collection:

Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI­EXPANDED) Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI)

Conference Proceedings Citation Index­ Science (CPCI­S) Conference Proceedings Citation Index­ Social Science & Humanities (CPCI­SSH) Book Citation Index– Science (BKCI­S) Book Citation Index– Social Sciences & Humanities (BKCI­SSH) Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)

Please contact us at ts.support.asia@thomsonreuters.com, should we be of any further help, and retain the case number in the subject line for any further communication in this regard.

Sincerely, Ganapriya ................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ...........................................................

Copy of your original request sent to Technical Support: Date of request:12/30/2015 Case #: TS­02953059 Subject: Question about the product ­ Web of Science

Description: Dear Editor,

I have question on Web of Science (WoS):

1. What is the difference between Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)­Web of Knowledge and Thomson Reuters­WoS? When (wit h exact date if possible) Thomson Reuters took over this website from ISI?

2. Up to date,how many journal titles are listed in WoS and Web of Science Core Collection. Try to find the figure in your website but in vain.

3. In Journal Citation Report (JCR) Edition 2014, only journals listed in Science Citation Index Expended (SCIE) and Social Science Citation Ind ex (SSCI) have impact factor (IF), right? Journal listed in Arts &Humanities still do not have IF, right? Need clarification regarding this matter.

4. Can i have the list of databases indexed in WoS and Web of Science Core Collection please?

Regards,

Mohammad Hafiz Bin Hamzah, M. Sc. UM Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia
