Database Description

SciSearch®: A Cited Reference Science Database

Content
SciSearch is an international, multidisciplinary index to the literature of science, technology, biomedicine, and related disciplines produced by the Institute for Scientific Information® (ISI®). SciSearch contains all of the records published in the Science Citation Index® (SCI®), plus additional records from the Current Contents® publications.

SciSearch is distinguished by some important and unique characteristics. First, journals indexed are selected on the basis of several criteria, including citation analysis, resulting in coverage of the most significant publications in the scientific, technical, and biomedical literature. Second, in addition to the more conventional retrieval methods, SciSearch offers citation indexing, which permits searching by cited references.

SciSearch indexes all significant items (articles, review papers, meeting abstracts, letters, editorials, book reviews, correction notices, etc.) from approximately 4,500 major scientific and technical journals. Approximately 3,800 of these journals are further indexed by the references cited within each article, allowing for citation searching. The other additional 700 journals indexed have been drawn from ISI Current Contents publications.
