What is difference between Web of Science and Web of knowledge? dima (talk) 06:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I see no differences.
arxiv.org beat them all, I am afraid, since it is available for everyone without paying. --AKA MBG (talk) 13:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Similarly, it appears that there two separate articles for two apparently identical ISI services: Web of Knowledge and Web of Science. Should they be merged, with a redirect from one to the other? And is it still "ISI", after the merger/takeover of Thomson and Reuters? I don't have time to investigate, but someone who knows these things should.
To address AKA's point, I don't think ArXiv covers articles in the social sciences and humanities. for starters. Bellagio99 (talk) 23:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • WoK includes WoS plus a host of other databases. ArXiv is great for physicists, but nothing comparable exists for the life sciences. On its homepage, WoK is still announced as "ISI Web of Knowledge". --Crusio (talk) 07:34, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Advertisement template

This template:{{advertisement}} was placed on the article with the following rationale in the edit history:

  • "journals have to pay big time to be in, hence in some disciplines WoS is not accepted"

This template mischaracterizes this article, especially with such strong wording. Also it appears the template was placed here with a POV agenda (or with an axe to grind). Please see the statement in the edit history . Remove template.---- Steve Quinn (talk) 19:32, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Distinction

Can anyone provide a brief paragraph to better distinguish between Web of Science, Web of Knowledge, Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index, Thomson Reuters Impact Factor, ISI Impact Factor, Journal Citation Reports, …. This multitude of terms doen't exactly represent a marketig masterpiece. However, Misplaced Pages might help to avoid confusion by providing a better distinction. Is "Web of Science" really a citation index or rather a web platform to access citation indices like the Thomson Reuters Impact Factor? Too complicated! 85.179.136.124 (talk) 07:50, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
