Web of Science News: August 2013

Some new features were added to the Web of Science (WoS) in the July release:

Auto-suggest for publication name
When you start to type your desired publication name in the Publication Name field, a list of the ten most relevant results to your query will appear. The suggestions refine as you continue to type. You may turn off the suggestions.

Spelling corrections
If no results are found relating to your search, “Did you mean” suggestions will be displayed for common misspellings in the topic and title fields.

Overlay sign in screen
The sign in function is opened in an overlay so that you do not have to leave your current search page.

New output of records menu
Now the output bar is located above and below the search results and it is displayed on the full record page, too. It includes a new “Select Page” option and a drop down menu for additional output formats. Completing the output is done through an overlay, guiding you through the process without disrupting your workflow.
