• Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Indexes conference proceedings (12, 000 conferences, 400, 000 records/year) going back to 1990, with the same citation reference searching as you get in Science Citation Index
• Book Citation Index – Indexes 40, 000 books (10, 000 to be added/year) to add more than 15 million cited references to Web of Science. 40% of the books are in the natural sciences.
• Index Chemicus – Indexes more than 100 organic chemistry journals to provide coverage of novel compounds. You can search by text (including compound/reaction data) or structure/substructure. Along with the bibliographic, cited reference information, and citation alert functionality you expect from Web of Science, you’ll also get graphical summaries and reaction diagrams. – Should be searched with Current Chemical Reactions.
• Current Chemical Reactions – Indexes more than a million synthetic reactions from 100+ organic chemistry journals. You can search by text (including compound/reaction data) or structure/substructure. Along with the typical bibliographic and cited reference information, and citation alert functionality you get in Web of Science, you’ll also get complete reaction diagrams and critical conditions. – Should be searched with Index Chemicus.
