Trial access to the Data Citation Index via the Web of Knowledge

The University Library has arranged a trial of the Data Citation Index which will run until 14^th December 2012.

How to access the Data Citation Index:

• Access Web of Knowledge by going to http://wok.mimas.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wayf?idp=https://shib.raven.cam.ac.uk/shibboleth.
•  ‘Select a Database’ tab in Web of Knowledge and enter your Raven login (unless you are already logged on to Raven).
• Click on Data Citation Index.

Data Citation Index can be used to discover research data sets from a wide range of international data repositories and connect them with the scientific literature to track data citation:

• Discover international repositories and their deposited data studies, data sets, using the Thomson Reuters value add indexing.
• Navigate between related records within a repository.
• Link to the repository record to access the deposited data.
• See how data connects to scientific literature published in journals, books and conference proceedings.
• Coverage of social sciences, physical sciences, life sciences and arts and humanities.
