New features in Web of Knowledge

New features implemented in the recent Web of Knowledge upgrade include:

• Citation Report : this function will enable you to create reports for up to 10,000 records; view citation information including number of citations, average citations per item and year, and the h index. You can remove self-citations, examine the data in more detail using the using the Analyze Tool, produce graphical summaries and export the data to file.
  
  
• Full Author Names : for records added from 2006 on full author names and not surname, initial will be added to the database. In the future, this should make it easier to distinguish between different authors.
  
  
• Distinct Author Identification System : this feature uses citation data to create clusters of articles by a particular author. You can can access this feature by selecting an author name from the Web of Science record. If the author name has been processed throughthis system, the cluster of articles will be presented.
