Web of Science Core Collection is the main multidisciplinary database containing nearly 70 million records of impacted journals, conference proceedings, and books from around the world. Records date back to 1900. Several citation indexes (Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Book Citation Index, Conference Proceedings Citation Index, etc.) are available for detailed citation analysis (who cited whom and by whom) and research.

Records from the WoS database are linked to the Journal Citation Reports database (impacted journals).
