[If you are having trouble finding and getting into Web of Science (particularly from off campus), access one of the other database first throught Aladin, then go the [|Database Guide] and scroll down to "To Access Web of Science" and follow instructions.]

"The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) citation indexes are the best sources for identifying which articles have cited a particular article, book, or other work. Recently, ISI has made their citation indexes available over the web through a service called **Web of Science**." - [|Database Guide] [NOTE: You will see ISI Web of Knowledge at the top of the page when accessed.)

Web of Science will show how many times an article is cited (in their database). Citations are one way to potentially identify pivotal or seminal sources. One still needs to be careful and check the quality of the sources. Good for searching by author, will show how many times the author was cited and by whom and where.

Usually use for Web for Science after looking for periodical references using the Gelman research guides, etc., to look for other sources.

How to Use
 * Beats me so far. I tried to search for GWU KM author Annie Greene and got lost in the look up an author sequence.

**Sources**
 * Shmuel Ben-Gad, Reference and Collection Development Librarian (EMSE Research Assistance Librarian)
 * ([|Gelman Library]) (Research) [|Database Guide]
