The Library has recently added BIOSIS Citation Index from Thomson Reuters to the collection. This database focuses on life sciences and biomedical research covering pre-clinical and experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, and more. This resource includes content not only from journals, but also from relevant meetings, patents, and books.

Database features includes:

• Cited reference searching with a citation breakdown summary to keep track of citation counts from various resources
• Enhanced author identification, analysis and visualization tools
• Specialized indexing, with tags to vital data such as Enzyme Commission numbers, and cross-references throughout to gene, disease, and organism names

The database can enable researchers to 1) follow history or methodology of a topic; 2) find the first mention of plants, organisms, chemicals, or lab techniques in various life sciences fields; 3) discover high-impact article and related records based on shared references, and 4) identify potential collaborators with significant publication records.

You can access BIOSIS Citation Index directly here or through the MSKSearch search tab on the Library’s homepage.
