All Databases
It is now possible to Refine and Analyze Results when searching across Web of
Knowledge content.
The All Databases search maps the unique category names in each database to a common Web of
Knowledge category.
Bological Abstracts
Web of Science
MEDLINE
This search for “post traumatic stress” returned results from CAB Abstracts, Web of
Science, and MEDLINE.
These results can be limited to the General Category Social Sciences
3,689 results are found after refining by Social Sciences
The Web of Knowledge uses the specialized indexing in each
database to determine how to categorize each record
A student or researcher wants to locate articles on the legal aspects of Embryonic Stem Cell research and
uses Refine Results to narrow a set of results
Refine by Subject Areas
Refining the results of multiple databases by Subject Area can be
difficult because of the unique terminologies used in each.
For example –
Web of Knowledge Subject Category:
Government & Law
MEDLINE: State Government
CAB Abstracts: Laws and Regulations
BIOSIS: Government and Law
The Web of Knowledge maps the specialized indexing in each database
to a common Web of Knowledge subject category
Derwent Class Code: Nuclear Power Generation
Patent results can also be refined and analyzed by Subject Area in the Web of Knowledge because of the value-
added indexing in Derwent Innovations Index.
The patents can be analyzed along with other Web of Knowledge sources
allowing for a complete overview of research in an area.

EigenfactorTM and Article InfluenceTM:
To compliment Impact Factor and other JCR metrics by providing a broader perspective on Journal Influence through specific measures now widely accepted by the scholarly community.
These metrics are developed through The Eigenfactor Project™ -- a non-commercial academic research project sponsored by the Bergstrom lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. – www.eigenfactor.org
