2. THE EVOLUTION OF RESEARCH Citations: Connecting People, Content & Workflows
Thomson Reuters Web of Science provides a single destination to access for the world’s largest collection of research data, publications, proceedings and patents.
…that grew into the world’s most trusted resource…
It started with an idea…
… and continues to evolve with the pace of research.
More than half a century ago, Dr. Eugene Garfield discovered that citations could help navigate the information flood and gauge the impact of journal literature.
Web of Science is the premier resource for research discovery. Our content and tools are trusted by more than 6,000 of the world’s leading organizations driving scholarly research and scientific policy.
The next generation of Web of Science brings together the most trusted source of scholarly content and the new standards in online search in one intuitive easy- to-use environment.

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.
MDC Founded and original mainframe/time-share IP management systems PatentMaster (Patents) and MarkMaster (Trademarks) launched. First ever patent payment service introduced.
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.

4. The Most Comprehensive Citation Content Easier Research Discovery
THE EVOLUTION OF RESEARCH Citations: Connecting People, Content & Workflows
We are excited to introduce several key enhancements to the Web of Science that will help our customers transform the way they search for and assess the quality of research content.
The Most Comprehensive Citation Content
Easier Research Discovery
A Better Research Tool
Web of Science and Google Scholar have forged a unique collaboration to make the Web of Science instantly discoverable and bringing the power of our citation connections to the open web.
Web of Science customers will be able to view and access Web of Science Times Cited Counts and records directly from a Google Scholar search. Reciprocal links will provide an easy path to full-text with links back out to Google Scholar.
We are bringing new regional content to Web of Science customers and making full text seamlessly available for open access journals.
The October launch of the new SciELO Citation Index, trial access to the Chinese Science Citation Database and the upcoming launch of the new Korean Journal Database brings even more quality, impactful regional content to what is already the largest and most authoritative citation resource.
In January 2014 , the Web of Science got an all new look and feel. This release directly addressed customer requests for a more intuitive and easier search experience – while maintaining the advanced search capabilities our seasoned researchers and power users expect.
Developed with the emerging needs of the researcher in mind, our January release provides a simpler search and discovery environment all branded under the banner of the Web of Science.
