  1. WEB OF SCIENCE now including the Conference PROCEEDINGS Citation Indexes

  2. Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Indexes • 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 • Cited References are included from 1999 for both CPCI files. • In recent years the combined files have included papers from approximately 12,000 conferences annually. The Science edition is much more voluminous than the Social Science-Arts & Humanities, and there is some coverage overlap between the two. • In 2007 over 465,000 proceedings papers were indexed. Of these: • The Science edition included approx. 452,000 papers • The Social Science-Humanities edition included approx. 26,000 papers • The CPCI files will be fully integrated into Web of Science, behaving exactly as the SCIE, SSCI and A&HCI files.

  3. Conference Proceedings Citation Index Two optional files/editions – - Science - Social Science and Humanities

  4. A new Web of Science search field is introduced. Search for proceedings papers using Conference information such as: - Title words - Location - Date - Sponsor

  5. A new Document Type will appear within Web of Science -- “Proceedings Paper” • This will apply to any paper found within a Conference Proceedings Citation Index file. • However, this Document Type will be present in Web of Science whether or not one subscribes to the CPCI. Why? -- • There have always been proceedings papers within Web of Science, as these peer-reviewed works have been published within Web of Science-indexed journals. • However these Web of Science papers had always been assigned the document type “Article” to coincide with their journal source type. • We will now assign the document type “Proceedings Paper” to these papers in order to acknowledge their core source -- and will do so retroactively in order to maintain consistency throughout the database. A new Refine Results option -- “Conference Titles” -- also available in Analyze Results

  6. Full Record display for a paper found within a non-journal conference proceedings publication. This particular publication is part of a larger Book or Monographic Series, as are many proceedings.

  7. Full Record display for a proceedings paper published within a journal.

  8. The Conference Proceedings Citation Indexes have presented author cited references from 1999 forward. 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. The impact of this on Web of Science users -- many papers will benefit with higher Times Cited counts.

  9. Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Indexes 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.
