Very diverse options for building “your ISI Web of Knowledge”.

Customize a selection of resources to meet your objectives.

Carefully chosen resources – authoritative data produced by well-respected organizations

Focus on Quality, not the Quantity of databases

Complimentary to the platform foundation (Web of Science)

• Focused coverage, adding depth within key disciplines

• Diversity of sources within these disciplines (journals, proceedings,

patents, tech reports, dissertations, etc.)

• Detailed Indexing Schemes, providing powerful retrieval options

through Web of Knowledge “Search Aids” format.

Addition of ISI Web of Knowledge key platform features to

create truly unique versions of these resources

ISI Web of Knowledge Specialized Content



CAB ABSTRACTS• Disciplines

– Coverage of the Applied life sciences, including agriculture, forestry, human nutrition, veterinary medicine and the environment

• Coverage– 1973 -- present; over 220,000 records added annually– 4.6 million records currently– 95% of records include an English language abstract– 9,000 serials; 3,500 books & conference proceedings– Literature sources from 140 countries, 50 languages



CAB Abstract Archive origins • Original abstract journals 1910 – 1972

• Equivalent to 600 print volumes

• Over 1.8 million records

• Review of Agricultural Entymology since 1913

• Plant Breeding Abstracts since 1930

• Veterinary Bulletin since 1931

• Nutrition Abstracts and Reviews since 1931

• Helminthological Abstracts since 1932



CAB Abstracts Archive Coverage

• Biodiversity

• Plant and animal breeding

• A unique electronic map to the scientific heritage of the last 100 years



The value of history, an example• Historical data about avian flu informs us

of the behaviour of an avian influenza virus (which Spanish flu was) in human populations. Specifically it gives us info about the pandemic on the following:

• 1 Transmission 2 Duration of infection 3 Sources of infection 4 Symptoms 5 Causes of mortality – the secondary problems esp. pneumonia killed more than the primary viral infection Mortality and infection rates 6 Duration of the pandemic 7 Racial/ethnic differences in infection/mortality rates 8 Sociological barriers to treatments



Two examples of why the database records are valuable• Avian flu - Because we are worried what this will do to

humans.

• Cattle diseases - because we are worried what this will do to humans too (but it is not in the news everyday)

• How do we ensure we are picking up all the research?



Can you be sure you are not repeating research?

• Have you checked CAB Abstracts back to 1910 for • non-journal research and grey literature• foreign language records from Europe,

Africa and North & South America and the rest of the world?

• Where else could you get these records in one place?

“Then”

Now -- The new ISI Web of Knowledge interface presents a clear consistent view across all

databases.Search is clean, simple, yet flexible.

All “Topic” search terms are mapped to CABI’s specialized indexing:

• English Title • Foreign Title • Abstract • Descriptors • Broad Descriptors • Organism Descriptors • Geographic Location • Identifiers • CABICODE Names

So even novice users can take advantage of CAB Abstracts ‘ indexing strengths.

Controlled-index lists, thesauri, dictionaries, etc. are presented in a user-friendly “search aids” format – searchable and hierarchical – that

helps one to build a query.

CAB Abstracts’ vast coverage of all agriculture-related areas of

research allows one to create a thorough overview of the

“biofuels landscape” within any particular area of interest .

ISI Web of Knowledge multiple “Refine” options provide the

ability to distill broad searches into more focused results.

Typically though, the search is somewhat more focused

from the start.

In this case, we begin exploring aspects of

cellulosic ethanol, a very “hot topic” these days within

the realm of biofuels and bioenergy.

ISI Web of Knowledge “Analyze Results” features enable one to gain insight into a

body of research.

For CAB Abstracts, Results Analyses are possible for --

Author CABICODES

Descriptor Doc Type

Source Title Subj Area

Identify the the varied sources of this information, specific publications of

note, and even subject areas to which published research may apply.

Our chosen course here will be to identify the 50 most prolific authors in

this realm, potential experts, and begin to build our knowledge base

from this perspective.

As search results are scanned, multiple options for saving and

output of records are presented.

EndNote Web – is provided with a subscription to any ISI Web of Knowledge platform

database and plays a key role in archiving and organizing information, and much more.

The Strength of the ISI Web of Knowledge platform.

As records of particular interest are identified, the Full Record display expands search pathways in

unique and powerful directions.

CAB Abstracts as it exists in no other form, unavailable elsewhere – integrated with Web of Science

citation information.




Related Records is a fantastic method for gathering additional

articles of relevance.

Web of Science presents the number of references shared by

related papers – a proven method for gauging relevance.

Patent Literature in Academia



In recent years, governments and academic institutions worldwide have strongly encouraged those within academic and “traditional” research environments to look toward potential technology transfer, patenting the results of research.

We know that today, an ever expanding number of researchers within academia are in fact involved in efforts to patent their work.

This group requires access to patent literature for:

- The sheer value of the scientific content it holds

- An absolutely necessary awareness of “prior art”

Patents: Importance as Intellectual Property



Patents: Importance as a Scientific Resource

• Patent literature is the largest single body of technical information available anywhere. There are over 30 million existing published patents in the world today, and each year an average of one million new patents are filed.

• A patent gives full disclosure of all details of an invention: descriptions, drawings, diagrams, chemical structures, genetic sequences, etc.

• A patent is often the first place scientific and technical information is reported – key Current Awareness Value

• A great volume of the information reported in patents is unavailable elsewhere.

Information within the patent literature should not be overlooked in the course of the research process.



Derwent Value-Added data greatly improves the ability to retrieve and understand relevant patent information.

Derwent full value-added records for all patents from the key major patenting authorities are added to DWPI, the key source of Derwent Innovations Index data, within 30 days of the date the patent is published.

This value-added information is unavailable within free patent resources.

Derwent Innovations IndexSM

:The Key – Derwent Value-Added Information.

Patent Family Records – Grouping of related patents into a family record to illustrate the global coverage of the invention.

Patent Assignee Codes – assigned to about 21,000 organizations worldwide, unifying parent companies and subsidiaries.

Key Drawings and Images selected and included

Derwent Classification and Manual Codes – providing uniform, accurate indexing; enabling precise retrieval for those with more expertise in patent literature.



Web of Science results for Light Emitting Organic Thin Films

There are very few corporations publishing the results of their thin films research in journals



Patent Results for Light Emitting Organic Thin Films

However, there have been many patents published in this area since 2001

Links into Web of Science


Proceedings literature is an essential component of international scholarly communication.

New theories, solutions, and indications of emerging and developing concepts are typically presented first

within papers delivered at scientific and scholarly meetings and conferences.


ISI Proceedings

• Two editions, both covering 1990 - present

– Science & Technology

– Social Sciences & Humanities

• Weekly updates

• “one-off” proceedings in book or book series form, monographic sources, account for approximately 70% of content.

• Journal sources account for the remaining approximate 30% of content.

– This material, journal-based proceedings literature, is also indexed in the Web of Science. Full-record to full-record links as well as additional citation navigation links exist for these articles between the two databases.

Important technology content from IEEE, SPIE, MRS, and

many more key sources.

Great breadth of coverage – from Sociology, Psychology,

and Public Health to Literature, Art, and History.
