Search Tips

WOS works by linking articles through their bibliographies. So, if you can only find one or two good articles on your topic in another database (like PubMed), try looking those articles up in WOS. You'll likely find several other articles just by following WOS's bibliography trail.
WOS has tools that will allow you to get the "lay of the land" for your topic of interest. Just run a search on your topic and then use the "analyze" feature on the right side of your results screen. You can see which scientists publish most on your topic, which institutions have done the most research on the topic, and which years saw the most published research on your topic.
