Great summary! Maybe one improvement could be the audio (louder, more even), and add some excitement or something... I was about to fall asleep watching the content. Thanks for your work!
Hi Will, thank you for watching, glad it was helpful. I have develop better audio and speaking technique now. Please note that this is an earlier video I made when I first started. Hope you will enjoy the other recent videos better!
If you were serious about learning this crucial information you would be jumping out of your seat. Please do not tell us about your boredom. This is about you, not the presentation.
Without University affiliation, Web of Science (WoS) is not free. If you can find help from the librarian, that is the best place find out how you can access WoS I have recently made a new video on using PubMed for literature review becuase I also have also lost access to WoS since transitioning to a non-academic position. Hope this helps you: ua-cam.com/video/wV6dptlN7OY/v-deo.html
Hi Camilo, Web of Science happens to be the one I have used the most frequently in my research (10 years including postdoc), so I felt the most comfortable sharing about it in my first few videos on this channel back in 2020. Comparing to Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic, the ranking of result on Web of Science is less prone to commercial bias (a librarian has once said this in a workshop). It's always a good practice to explore multiple database to check for "blind spots", please know that I do have more recent videos on how to use PubMed (ua-cam.com/video/wV6dptlN7OY/v-deo.html) and Research Rabbit (ua-cam.com/video/SuBgj3vU9dg/v-deo.html). Feel free to check them out and leave more feedback for me!

Thanks for the question, I was studying the impact of ocean acidification on shell and reef formation, it was an interdisciplinary research project. Currently, I am no longer active in research but I work as a medical writer writing about human clinical studies for new drug authorization.
Hats off to University Librarians! I have learned Web of Science from the library courses back in Grad School, and I am glad you approved that I have learned it well :)
Hi Thomas, I have also made another video on lit review using PubMed, if you are in life sciences, this could also be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/wV6dptlN7OY/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this video. Please help me in one confusion i have. When i add the query i get 251 results but there are some articles i want to remove from the list, how to remove those article and export as plain txt. When i marked it, i could not export the full record. Please help
Hi, Dr. Anandkumar Naorem, 251 results seems a lot! I typically will try to add a keyword to try narrowing the search results more. I personally prefer using Zotero and would send each relevant article one at a time. In your situation, if you need the full list of search result, you can uncheck the articles you don't need, and Export the rest to Excel. Since I am not a University member, I no longer have access to WoS, but I have found the functions as below (so please try and let me know if this works!). After the list has been exported, I would remove the articles from the excel sheet (using Ctrl + F copying the tilte of the articles from the browser interface): Export to Excel is only available for Results pages in Web of Science Core Collection. Export to Excel it not available from the Full Record page. Select the record(s) to include in the output. Select Excel from the Export drop-down menu. If no records are selected on the results page, you can choose to export All Record on the Page or a range of up to 500 records at a time. Select the fields to export for each record: Author, Title, Source Author, Title, Source, Abstract Full record Click Export on the pop-up page. A file, savedrecs.xls, will be downloaded to you your computer. hSttps://images.webofknowledge.com/WOKRS533JR18/help/WOS/hs_output_records.html
Hi Julya, I actually have switched from Endnote to Zotero since a long time ago. So I hope this video introduces you well to my new favorite reference manager after having used Endnote for many years! (Pro Tip: you can export BibTex file of the entire library from EndNote to Zotero) ua-cam.com/video/OZjXuQSDO6U/v-deo.html Please feel free to leave more video suggestions, keep them coming!
Did you learn anything new about searching on Web of Science in this video? Comment Below! Also, check out this video about using Google Scholar! ua-cam.com/video/dc-vKk205c8/v-deo.html
When I to sign in, it mentions institutional signup. I tried even creating a Publon account but still I can't see past the dashboard hahaha. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.
Every University could have a different system. The best way to find out is to email a librarian and ask about getting access to "Web of Science". For my previous institution, I had to login the University library, and then click the "web of science" under the "A-Z" database list. Hope you can figure it out soon!
Hi Yen-Ting, they are different databases. While PubMed and Google scholar are free, Scopus and Web of Science requires a subscription (Universities usually have) I found this article helpful: it compares citation analysis on these platforms and apparently Scopus > Web of Science >>> Google Scholar pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17884971/ Personal experience of Google Scholar: I saw many duplicate/ non-scientific search results, and I didn't like the analytic interface (back in the time), so I have switched to Web of Science which focuses on a higher quality "core collection" journal database. This could be a video idea!
Hi Jenson, you will need to first check with a librarian at your University. There is a login you will need to access WOS. You can find the webpage by searching "Web of Knowlege" on Google, but it will ask for the login info.
Madam, kindly inform me the following journal is under Web of science index or not. Agricultural sciences digest- A research journal of agriculture animal and veterinary science ISSN: 0253-150X (print) ISSN: 0976-0547 (online) Kindly inform me the above mentioned journal is under Web of science index or not. It's very important for me... kindly help me
is there any possibility to mark an article that you read so next time you dont open it again?
Thank you, It is really helpful!
Is this the paid version of WOS? If my university do not have WOS subscription, can I use WOS search engine?
I love your tips... Keep posting more practical stuffs. Speciallu about data and data analysis
Hello, I try to search articles but the documents searching section is not active in Web of Science. so how I can solve this problem
thank you so much

Thanks for the nice presentation. Is it possible to login individually.. I mean if your institution library is not subscribed to the web of science.

Hi, thank you for putting this together. (what is your research interest in marine biology?)
Thanks for the question, I was studying the impact of ocean acidification on shell and reef formation, it was an interdisciplinary research project.
Currently, I am no longer active in research but I work as a medical writer writing about human clinical studies for new drug authorization.
Nothing new for me ;) , but *very very* interesting for new PhD students !!!
I know this is an easy one for your level :)
Just in case you have a new student, share this video and that could save you a meeting.
It interesting vedeo but I couldn't get the search option
me too
I know this video is old at this point but I'm a university librarian and I just wanted to say this is a great video!
Hats off to University Librarians! I have learned Web of Science from the library courses back in Grad School, and I am glad you approved that I have learned it well :)
Great video!! Loved your presentation 👍

This was so helpful! Can you do a video for doing a lit review in end note 20 ?

Thank you so much, Agbaje. It would mean a world to me if you share my video to your friends who may need this!
What is different between PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, and web of science from your experience?
Hi Yen-Ting, they are different databases. While PubMed and Google scholar are free, Scopus and Web of Science requires a subscription (Universities usually have)
I found this article helpful: it compares citation analysis on these platforms and apparently Scopus > Web of Science >>> Google Scholar
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17884971/
Personal experience of Google Scholar: I saw many duplicate/ non-scientific search results, and I didn't like the analytic interface (back in the time), so I have switched to Web of Science which focuses on a higher quality "core collection" journal database.
This could be a video idea!
Thank you so much. From Malaysia.
Hi Zalifah, gald you like this! From France :)
Really helpful thank you
Thank you, please don't hesitate to share with anyone who might need this!
Any link for WOS?
Hi Jenson, you will need to first check with a librarian at your University. There is a login you will need to access WOS. You can find the webpage by searching "Web of Knowlege" on Google, but it will ask for the login info.
This was soo helpful thank you so much
