The Web of Science provides access to journal articles, review articles, reviews, meeting abstracts, etc. They also provide unique access to the cited reference lists of these source documents, allowing one to perform cited reference searches.
Citation databases provide information that can be used to evaluate a person or a department.
A list of publications, with full authorship, should be used to search for cited references. Secondary authors are indexed only if the cited reference has been used as a source document in the citation database. Names with hyphens and apostrophes may not be handled consistently. Inconsistent use of initials. Common names and initials may retrieve papers written by someone with the same name but in a different discipline.
