Why use Social Sciences Citation Index?

Published by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI); Delivered via the Web of Science platform.
The Social Sciences Citation Index® (SSCI®) and Social SciSearch® provide access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references found in over 1,700 of the world's leading scholarly social sciences journals covering more than 50 disciplines. They also cover individually selected, relevant items from approximately 3,300 of the world's leading science and technology journals.
Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list (often called its bibliography), you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work. Try the quick tutorial "ABOUT CITED REFERENCE SEARCHING".
