Expanded Coverage for Web of Science

by edlener, posted on May 4, 2015

The Web of Science Core Collection has long been an important resource for researchers at Virginia Tech.  This database will become even more valuable with the library’s recent addition of 75 more years of data.  Retrospective coverage now extends back to 1900.  The ability to search and discover earlier papers makes it easier to trace the history of scientific ideas from their inception to the present.  All of this new content is integrated into the same search platform with which users are familiar.  The full file (1900 to present) contains over 32 million citations, with links out to full text sources for most content.
