Further detailed information about the change to ISI proceedings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
19 October 2008, content of the existing ISI Proceedings database will become available as two optional files within Web of Science. ISI Proceedings will cease.
* Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Science (CPCI-S) 1990-present.
* Conference Proceedings Citation Index- Social Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH) 1990-present. (Requires an additional subscription to the JISC Web of Science agreement).
Author Cited References are included from 1999 for both CPCI files.
A new Web of Science search field is introduced 'Conference' enabling a search for proceedings papers using Conference title words, location, date sponsor, etc.
A new option - 'Conference Titles' will be available within both Refine Results and Analyze Results features.
A new Document Type will appear within Web of Science - 'Proceedings Paper' - and this will be applied retroactively to all records originating as conference proceedings.
For subscribers to the CPCI, the inclusion of this information does mean that cited references from proceedings literature will be unified with cited references from journal literature - this adds to Times Cited counts for many papers.
Regardless of a CPCI subscription, for all cited articles all Web of Science users will see the combined Citing Articles count within the Cited Reference Index.
CPCI non-subscribers will not retrieve all Citing Articles, only those from the Web of Science journal citation indexes within their subscription file depth of course.
For a preview of this change in the Way ISI Proceedings will be made
available, please see the Thomson Reuters presentation at:
