New Digital Resources: Web of Science 1900+
The UCR Libraries are pleased to announce backfiles for Web of Science. Researchers in all disciplines will want to explore this database now available electronically.
The earliest backfiles, from 1900 to 1944 are called "Century of Science™" To create Century of Science, ISI asked the question: What are the most significant articles from the first part of the 20th century? Indexers analyzed reference lists, first from articles written between 1945 and 1965, as well as from more recent papers. From these cites, ISI came up with 368 titles. ISI states that: "Combined with existing Web of Science backfiles, this carefully selected and evaluated collection delivers to users the most influential scientific research information from the 20th century."
Here's an example of what I found in Century of Science:
In 1922 Albert Einstein wrote a brief article called "Emil Warburg as Scientist" (original title = Emil Warburg als Forscher, Naturwissenschaften 10: 823-828 1922). Clicking through UC-eLinks I found the full text of the article on the Springer Link website.
