Web of Science (also called as SCI - Science Citation Index) is an online subscription-based scientific citation indexing service that provides a comprehensive citation search. It gives access to multiple databases that reference cross-disciplinary research, which allows for in-depth exploration of specialized sub-fields within an academic or scientific discipline.

How does it work?

Once the issue got published in print (FIN) it will reach Web of Science (WoS) within 4-8 weeks. Web of Science adds them in batches. All the journals with Impact Factor (IF) should transfer their article to web of science. Also it is not a mandatory condition that journals without IF will not share papers to WoS, journals can share articles to WoS even if they don’t have IF.
