1980- .

Web of Science is a multidisciplinary bibliographic database that indexes and abstracts journals in the sciences and social sciences. Distributed by the Institute for Scientific Information - ISI, Web of Science at Georgetown University is a cumulation of two databases: 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.
