We now have expanded coverage in the Web of Science: Citation Databases from Thomson Reuters . This database and it's three discipline-focused databases Arts & Humanities Citation Index from Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge , Science Citation Index from Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge , and Social Sciences Citation Index from Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge , have long included citations for journal articles from thousands of prominent journals. Now these databases also index citations of books and conference proceedings as well.

They also offer extensive analysis and reporting capabilities on authors and institutions that appear in multiple citations.
