Thomson Scientific - A culture of innovation with an emphasis on our customers
1961 Science Citation Index launched - In 1955, Dr. Eugene Garfield revolutionized scientific research with his concept of citation indexing and searching. Science Citation Index® (SCI) was launched in 1961 which included 562 journals and 2 million citations.
1966 Dialog online information retrieval system is operational long before the commonplace use of the Internet.
1972 Dialog offers the first publicly available online research service. A company is born.
1974 World Patents Index - In 1948 Monty Hyams would make frequent visits to the British Patent Office and identifying passages of particular interest in chemical patents. The line numbers were passed on to his father, who transcribed the passages in neat longhand. In 1974 his company Derwent provides complete coverage of patents from all technologies through launch of World Patents Index
1976 Derwent is one of the first organisations to go online with the first online implementation of WPI on the host SDS-ORBIT.
1989 MicroPatent is founded in 1989 in response to the needs of patent professionals who required electronic data in CD-ROM format. This is at a time when hard-copy documents were the norm.
1990 Derwent launches GENESEQ, the first database of sequences from patents, delivered in a format that runs on new sequence analysis software  
1995 IDRAC global regulatory intelligence database is launched with 15 country modules. It is a CD-ROM product and the first of its kind.
1996 Techstreet (then called CSSINFO) launches first-ever web site for searching and ordering industry codes and standards online.
1997 ISI launches Web of Science providing seamless access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from approximately 8,700 of the most prestigious, high impact research journals in the world. The product is a breakthrough listing both the cited and citing works that allows researchers to move back in time to locate previously published papers but uniquely allowing you to move forward in time--to determine who has subsequently cited an earlier work. The database covers virtually all disciplines whereas traditional services are limited to a single field.
1998 MicroPatent becomes the first company in the world to provide PCT full text electronically. Similarly, the Company is the first to have US full text data back to 1836 and the first with published Great Britain applications back to 1916, among many others.
2000
Delphion is launched using IBM's existing Intellectual Property Network and uses it as the foundation for its marketplace, enables businesses to search, analyze, buy, sell and license millions of patents across different industries.
Techstreet launches first-ever searchable database of industry standards and technical books combined.
2001
ISI develops ISI Web of KnowledgeSM - the single, sophisticated platform that unites journal literature, patents, chemical compounds, and genetic sequencing, and integrates proceedings and additional print and electronic sources.
Newport Horizon, a Web-based strategic intelligence system for generic and speciality pharma is released
2004 Thomson Pharma is launched - A dynamic information solution for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It is a single solution that professionals working at all stages of drug development can personalize to suit their needs.
2005 Century of Science makes hundreds of thousands of older, twentieth century scientific journal items available in one place and on one platform for the first time.

Thomson Pharma is the first truly integrated solution to address the information needs of professionals working in all stages of drug development.
Its extensive databases and research tools support the drug development process from early discovery through patent expiry. Yet Thomson Pharma is flexible enough to be tailored for the workflow of the individual researcher, scientist or attorney.
This scenario shows a development team using Thomson Pharma to make a well-informed decision about whether to invest in developing a new therapy.
Look at a target, find out the drugs related to the target, see the potential size of the market by going into one of the drug reports, look at how many the drug is being prescribed to. Find out literature info regarding the drug.
Thomson Pharma.
To help you learn what drugs are already on the market, Thomson Pharma includes in-depth competitive intelligence drawn from 12 million basic inventions and 23 million patents.
