All Databases

It is now possible to Refine and Analyze Results when searching across Web of

Knowledge content.

The All Databases search maps the unique category names in each database to a common Web of

Knowledge category.

Bological Abstracts

Web of Science

MEDLINE

This search for “post traumatic stress” returned results from CAB Abstracts, Web of

Science, and MEDLINE.

These results can be limited to the General Category Social Sciences

3,689 results are found after refining by Social Sciences

The Web of Knowledge uses the specialized indexing in each

database to determine how to categorize each record

A student or researcher wants to locate articles on the legal aspects of Embryonic Stem Cell research and

uses Refine Results to narrow a set of results

Refine by Subject Areas

Refining the results of multiple databases by Subject Area can be

difficult because of the unique terminologies used in each.

For example –

Web of Knowledge Subject Category:

Government & Law

MEDLINE: State Government

CAB Abstracts: Laws and Regulations

BIOSIS: Government and Law

The Web of Knowledge maps the specialized indexing in each database

to a common Web of Knowledge subject category

Derwent Class Code: Nuclear Power Generation

Patent results can also be refined and analyzed by Subject Area in the Web of Knowledge because of the value-

added indexing in Derwent Innovations Index.

The patents can be analyzed along with other Web of Knowledge sources

allowing for a complete overview of research in an area.
