To improve search capabilities Web of Science, Clarivate Analytics acquired startup Kopernio. The Kopernio web browser extension finds the full text of documents. It works not only with Web of Science, but also with others search engines. Kopernio searches the full text first in the organization's subscription, then in public repositories, and then in Google Scholar, with whom Clarivate Analytics has a partnership agreement. If Kopernio finds the full text of a publication, a pdf-document icon pops up at the bottom left of the publication record page, when clicked, the user navigates to the document. Thus, with the help of this service, the number of full texts, available to users, increases significantly, and, importantly, without violating copyright law.

EndNote Online - bibliography tool
Another free resource available to Web of Science users is EndNote Online. This tool allows you directly from web interface of Science to save in your portfolio the publications to which the author plans to refer in his work, and then choose the design template for the referenced bibliography of a particular publisher. So for publication it will be easy to create a reference list of references in the desired format.
Tools for assessing scientific performance
How to use the Web of Science Core Collection to measure scientific performance? The resource allows you to build a citation report for any data array up to 10,000 documents and calculate the following indicators for it:
- number of publications, including by year;
- the number of citations, also with the possibility of a breakdown by year of publication of citing publications;
- the number of citations excluding self-citations;
- average citation of one article;
- hirsch index.
ITMO University Citation Report in Web of Science Core Collection
The system also shows the number of citing documents. As a rule, there are fewer of them than the total number of citations, since the same publication from the citing data array can refer to several publications from the cited array. But these are primarily links that allow navigation between the citing and cited data array.

Identification of scientific organizations and authors using ResearcherID
Citation rates can be calculated for both an organization and individual authors. But here the question arises: how to evaluate publication activity or citation, if both the organization and the author can be reflected differently in different journals and in different publications? it a common problem for all reference databases, and the owners of each of them solve it in their own way.
There are two stages in compiling the profiles of organizations: computer algorithms carry out the primary sorting of the spelling options for the names of institutes and universities, and real people do the main work to eliminate algorithmic errors. To create profiles of organizations in Russia and the CIS, Clarivate Analytics representatives work directly with representatives of organizations and collaboratively check the spellings of their names. This, on the one hand, excludes the accidental mixing of two different organizations (for example, Kazan Technical and Kazan Technological Universities or the Institute of System Research and the Institute of System Analysis), and on the other hand, it excludes the possibility of manipulating numbers on the part of the organization itself.
At the time of this writing, the Web of Science Core Collection has profiles for more than 600 Russian organizations, and the company continues to work on creating new ones.

With author profiles, the situation is much more complicated, since the number of authors in the world is several orders of magnitude greater than the number of organizations. The computer algorithm clusters authors based on their last names and initials, subject areas in which they work, their organizational affiliation, years of work, and some other parameters.
But the resulting clusters may still not fully reflect the real number of publications of the scientist of interest, and here one more thing comes to the rescue. free add-on to Web of Science, available both to subscribers of the system and to any external user - ResearcherID.
In this system, any author can register and receive their unique number, and then upload a list of their works directly from the Web of Science interface. After some time, the cluster of publications of the author in Web of Science will match his set of documents in ResearcherID, and the search will be possible both by the author's last name and by his unique ResearcherID.
Russian Science Citation Index database
Separately, it is necessary to mention the Russian Science Citation Index database on the Web of Science platform. This is a joint project of Clarivate Analytics and eLibrary, the operator of the Russian Science Citation Index. Within the framework of the project, a database was formed from 770 most authoritative Russian scientific publications, selected on the basis of bibliometric and peer review.
According to Clarivate Analytics, the database serves two purposes. Firstly, in this way Russian science can be assessed by a more representative sample. Now, out of more than 20,000 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, 325 are Russian. Thus, in total, the array of Russian periodicals for analysis exceeds the bar of 1,000 journals. Secondly, the database promotes Russian scientific results abroad, because the audience of Web of Science users around the world is more than 20 million people.
At the moment, this database is not included in the national subscription, and Russian organizations subscribe to it individually.
Web of Science Core Collection and Russian Science Citation Index are two different databases, but if you have access to both of them, you can search them simultaneously. Another nice feature: for any document, the Web of Science platform calculates the citation within the database to which it belongs, but also shows its citation in other databases for reference. This allows, for example, to see which of the foreigners cite documents that are indexed only in the Russian Science Citation Index.
Journal Citation Reports Database and Journal Impact Factor
It is impossible not to mention another system for authors - the Journal Citation Reports database. It includes data from Clarivate Analytics experts' annual analysis of journal citations, which calculates the most common importance score scientific journal is its impact factor.
As of summer 2018, this report is not included in the national subscription, but dozens of scientific organizations in Russia subscribe to it themselves.
The report allows you to filter the journals by the subject area of interest in order to understand what place the journal occupies among similar publications in terms of the impact factor. Also, starting this year, it is possible to analyze where citations come from for publications of a particular publication. If you subscribe to Journal Citation Reports, the Web of Science Core Collection search results also allow you to view the impact factors of journals and their position in their subject area. AT general case only the quartile value of the journal by impact factor is displayed, which, in general, is a slightly rougher, but much more universal metric of its authority and significance.
InCites system for advanced bibliometric research
Finally, for advanced bibliometric research, there is the InCites system. It generates convenient reports and infographics from an array web data of Science Core Collection and adds to the analysis capabilities dozens of modern bibliometric indicators that are not available in Web of Science. InCites allows you to build ratings of scientific organizations by country or the world, compare scientific performance indicators, analyze trends in science and conduct your own bibliometric research.
Trends in the publication activity of Russia, Brazil, Switzerland and Iran by years
The Moscow office of Clarivate Analytics is actively engaged in user training both in working with the Web of Science system and in solving applied research problems. At free webinars, you can learn how to calculate the citation of an author or organization, how to choose a journal for publishing your work, how to protect yourself from publication in an unscrupulous journal.
