Author records contain both biographical and publication information. Publication information lists journal articles, books or book chapters, conference presentations, and Web sites or other Internet resources. In addition, over four million researchers worldwide who have access to the ISI Web of Science will be able to link easily to full bibliographic records, abstracts, citation data, citation navigation, and often to the full text of the works of the featured researchers. Seventeen additional disciplines will be available online by December 2001. ISI captures all bibliographic information including the citations or references that are a part of a peer-reviewed article or item.
Citations are a form of intellectual debt.
For decades many scholars have utilized citation data for more than retrieval. They have found this information vital for analytical purposes.
