Six of the best - Web of Knowledge

What is Web of Knowledge?

WoK provides access to citations and abstracts of journal articles and conference papers, with some links to full text if we subscribe to a particular journal. Wide subject coverage on and off campus.

How do I access it?
  • From the Library web page, choose Resources A-Z (under the Find menu), or use the link in your Subject Guide.
  • Log in using your network username & password

Tips

  • Make sure you are searching the right data – put your search term in the left hand box and set the right hand box to e.g. Topic, Author, Publication. Use Topic to search for keywords.
  • Use the Limit to option to search for the most recent material.
  • Click on Abertay full text to see if we have the full article.

Bonus features

  • Alerts – Receive emails when new articles cite your chosen articles. Click on My Citation Alerts to register a personal password, and then create alerts from any chosen record.
  • Endnote – it’s easy to export citations from WoK. Check the boxes next to your search results and click Save to Endnote. DON’T use Endnote Web as this is not set up for the Abertay Harvard style.
  • Keep up with research developments. Search the Conference Proceedings Citation Index from within the Web of Science tab.
  • Use the ScientificWebPlus option from Additional Resources to find high quality websites for your research topic.
