The seven citation indices listed above contain references which have been cited by other articles. One may use such citations to undertake cited reference searching, that is, locating articles which cite an earlier publication. One may also search the three citation databases by topic, by author, by source title, and by address. The two chemistry databases allow for the creation of structure drawings, thus enabling users to locate chemical compounds and reactions.
Use of the Web of Science is licensed to institutions such as universities and the research departments of large corporations, generally through access to the Web of Knowledge.
