Thomson Reuters Adds Citation Mapping Tool to ISI Web of Knowledge
PHILADELPHIA, and LONDON, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters today announced that new features have been added to ISI Web of Knowledge. Most notably, a citation mapping tool has been incorporated to provide researchers with a visual result to their research. The citation mapping tool tracks an article's cited and citing references through two generations, allowing researchers to visually discover an article's wider relationships. The resulting "family tree" of information can be utilized by the researcher to highlight the citation relationships most important to their research.
