Retrieving Information from Web of Science

Research topic / Description 1 Constructing a Search Statement Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents

Constructing a Search Statement Identify the keywords 2 Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents

Find synonyms of the keywords 3 Constructing a Search Statement germ warfare, bio-terrorism Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents biological sensor

Look for different variations of keywords 4 Constructing a Search Statement germ warfare, bio-terrorism Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents biological sensor biotoxins – neurotoxin  *toxin*

Use phrase searching 5 Constructing a Search Statement “ germ warfare ”, bio-terrorism Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents “ biological sensor ” *toxin*

Use Boolean operators 6 Constructing a Search Statement “germ warfare” OR bio-terrorism Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents “biological sensor” *toxin* OR

Research Topic: Development of Novel Biosensor for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents biotoxins – neurotoxin  *toxin* Look for different variations of keywords “biological sensor” Use phrase searching biological warfare: germ warfare bio-terrorism Find the synonyms of the keywords biosensor OR “biological sensor” Use Boolean operators biosensor, biotoxins, biological warfare Identify the keywords in the topic

Construct the search statement biosensor OR “biological sensor” *toxin* “biological warfare” OR “germ warfare” OR bio-terrorism Research Topic: Development of Novel Biosensors for Detection of Biotoxins and Biological Warfare Agents AND

Journal Citation Report (JCR)

A comprehensive and unique resource that allows you to evaluate and compare journals Makes use of citation and article counts entirely from the Web of Science ® databases Note: It would not be possible to obtain a JCR impact factor of a journal that is not covered in the Web of Science ® databases JCR

Average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited Journal Impact Factor

Conditions Influencing the Impact Factor Language of the journal Age of the publication Type and Number of “Citable” articles Publication schedule

To Find:Data to use in JCR: Most frequently cited journals in a fieldTotal Cites Highest impact journals in a fieldImpact factor How to use JCR
