Thomson Reuters Links

Thomson Reuters Links (formerly Thomson Scientific Links) has a dramatically positive impact on usage. Thomson Reuters Links are designed to bring the literature's full text directly to the researcher as efficiently as possible.

Thomson Reuters Links provide users with bi-directional links for navigation back and forth between records in ISI Web of Knowledge and corresponding full-text documents and references your library subscribes to.

Whether your access is through the Internet, an institutional intranet, or a combination of both, Thomson Reuters Links enables links to your information resources no matter where they reside.

 

How Thomson Reuters Links Works

Thomson Reuters Links is a combination of several important processes:

• Ongoing processing of the citation databases
• Regular processing of each publisher's electronic content
• Creation of the Links table for linking ISI Web of Knowledge to primary content
• Creation of the Links table for linking to ISI Web of Knowledge from the publisher's site

Thomson Reuters Links begins with the citation databases, a multidisciplinary bibliographic collection from over 10,000 international scholarly journals. All bibliographic information and the citations or references are processed, unified and indexed.

These steps now support linking the Thomson Reuters source records (the basic bibliographic data) to the corresponding full-text documents. This process also provides the basis for cited reference searching.

 

Links to Full Text

Full-text linking enhances your ISI Web of Knowledge and/or Thomson Pharma subscriptions. Once the fields are activated in your account, the full text is just one or two mouse clicks away.

Thomson Reuters actively seeks full-text linking partnerships with primary journal publishers and content hosts for all available electronic journals covered by ISI Web of Knowledge. Currently, Thomson Reuters links to over 7,000 unique full-text titles, and over 20,000 journal instances. These include a growing population of open access journals and retrospective archives.

Intranet ISI Web of Knowledge Customers

ISI Web of Knowledge intranet customers who have also elected to hold primary content locally can utilize Thomson Reuters Links. Link processing will be done at the Scientific business of Thomson Reuters and a customized Links table will be built. Intranet ISI Web of Knowledge customers will receive from Thomson Reuters the appropriate table for installation on their ISI Web of Knowledge server.

In addition, for consortia, links for each individual participating site can be customized. A Links table will be tailored precisely to a site's collection.

If you are an intranet customer with an interest in activating Thomson Reuters Links, please contact your Thomson Reuters Account Manager.

 

Links to Other Resources

Thomson Reuters Links offers navigation to a wide range of scholarly information resources including genetic, chemical and patent information.

National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank Database with MEDLINE

Links are available from MEDLINE within ISI Web of Knowledge to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database. The GenBank database is a free and publicly available genetic sequence database hosted by NCBI. Thomson Reuters enables access to GenBank's protein sequence database and the DNA database from corresponding records in ISI Web of Knowledge.

 

Other Thomson Reuters Links Options

Links can also be enabled from ISI Web of Knowledge to your library's online public access catalog (OPAC)—integrating additional information resources. Your customized OPAC query can easily be integrated into your account—using ISSN or title.

 

Open URL Compliance

Customers have another option for linking all their electronic resources and services using OpenURL. You can integrate a link-server as a source of links in Thomson Pharma and most ISI Web of Knowledge products. The link button can also be customized to your institution.

New! Inbound OpenURL linking!
