There was a recent update on searching within Web of Knowledge via findit.lu<\/a>. Existing search alerts<\/strong> including the database \u201cWeb of Knowledge\u201d<\/strong> have to be updated.<\/p>\n

Before explaining how to update we will give you a small theoretical instruction:<\/p>\n

Web of Knowledge<\/strong> in general is the name of the comprehensive research platform.
\nIt consists of several databases containing different kind of information. Via findit.lu<\/a> you have access to the three citation databases<\/strong> (Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index) as well as to the two conference proceedings citation indexes <\/strong>(Conference Proceedings Citation Index Science and Social Sciences & Humanities).
\nDetails can be found here: http:\/\/images.webofknowledge.com\/WOK46\/help\/WOK\/h_database.html
\n<\/a>
\nIf you searched Web of Knowledge using findit\u2019s search engine in the past, you always searched through all databases Web of Knowledge consists of at once.<\/p>\n

Thomson Reuter\u2019s technical update doesn’t provide a search of Web of Knowledge on the whole via findit.lu<\/a> anymore.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to deal with this update:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Choose one of the mentioned citation or conference proceedings databases to perform a search. Disadvantage: You are only searching one of the databases at once.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0For advanced users who still want to search all databases with one search request we suggest to create a Quick Set with all sub-databases and \/ or use the MetaSearch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Within the Web of Knowledge interface you can still perform a search above all databases at once.<\/p>\n

    You will find the \u201cnew\u201d sub-databases by searching for \u201cweb of knowledge\u201d in the \u201cFind Database\u201d-menu.<\/p>\n

    \"Search<\/a><\/p>\n

    Users holding search alerts which are searching Web of Knowledge<\/strong> are requested to delete the existing search alert and to add one or several new search alerts using the different sub-databases.<\/p>\n

    This is how to approach:<\/h2>\n

    Connect to findit.lu and choose My Space < History<\/strong> by clicking the x \u2013 sign next to the search alert which includes Web of Knowledge. Your old alert is now deleted.<\/p>\n

    \"Old<\/a>Perform a new search by searching for the new sub-databases and click the magnifying glass icon next to one of the desired databases. Once you have a list of results from your search, you can create your new search alert.<\/p>\n

    If you want to search more than one of the mentioned databases, please create a QuickSet (How-to Series, Episode 7<\/a>) and use MetaSearch to create your search alert.<\/p>\n
