Science in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical
http://www.sciper.leeds.ac.uk/
1800-1900
This project seeks to trace the representation of science, technology, and medicine across a wide range of 19th-century periodicals. It is jointly organized by the Centre for Nineteenth-Century Studies in the Department of English Literature at the University of Sheffield and the Division of History and Philosophy of Science in the School of Philosophy at the University of Leeds. SciPer aims "to identify and analyze the representation of science, technology and medicine, as well as the inter-penetration of science and literature, in the general periodical press in Britain between 1800 and 1900." It addresses not only the reception of scientific ideas in the general press, but also examines the creation of non-specialist forms of scientific discourse within the periodical format and the ways in which they interact with other kinds of articles found in nineteenth-century periodicals

1980- .
Web of Science is part of the ISI Web of Knowledge, a multidisciplinary bibliographic database that indexes and abstracts journals in the arts, humanities, sciences and social sciences. It cumulates three databases: Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index. In addition to traditional author, title and keyword searches, the citation databases offer access to articles' cited references (the footnotes from authors' bibliographies). You may take a known, relevant paper and find other, more recent papers that cite it.
