Description
Science Citation Index (SCI) provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references found in the world’s leading scholarly science and technical journals. The Science Citation Index Expanded edition available through the Web of Science indexes more than 5,700 journals covering more than 150 scientific & technical disciplines.

The SCI database offers three unique features:

  1. Cited Reference Searching provides the ability to search for scholarly articles that cite a particular author or a previously published article or book. Cited reference searching can locate relevant articles that cannot be retrieved through traditional author-subject searching.
  2. Find Related Records feature retrieves additional references that relate to the topic of interest, allowing users to uncover all the relevant information they need.
  3. ISI Links, a new feature, allows McGill users to access directly from within the Web of Science databases the full text of articles in journals to which the McGill Universities Libraries subscribe. The View Full Text link appears on the General Search Results--Full Record screen (top right, under "Related Record" link) for results generated from both general and cited reference searching. The View Full Text button will appear only when there is an active link to a document.
    For a list of the participating publishers and aggregators, consult the ISI Links information page.
