Multidisciplinary: New Web of Knowledge Interface Goes Live February 3rd
This past summer, ISI Web of Knowledge introduced a new interface that could be tested by clicking the "Access the New Version" on the Web of Knowledge site. Currently, there is dual access to the new and previous versions of ISI Web of Knowledge. This dual access has been provided so you could become familiar with the new features and functionality while still accessing the older version. On February 3rd, dual access to ISI Web of Knowledge will be discontinued and only the new version will be available.
This new version presents a new face of research designed to address the unique demands and research needs of a diverse, global user community, enabling them to follow new and innovative research pathways. This extensively redesigned ISI Web of Knowledge will prove easy for novices to navigate, while continuing to provide the powerful capabilities seasoned users appreciate.
RIT's access to Web of Knowledge includes Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index, Current Contents Connect, Journal Citation Reports, ISI Proceedings and EndNote Web.
