Sciencewatch.com from Thomson Scientific provides a comprehensive, open Web resource for science metrics and analysis. This website combines the newest Science Watch newsletter material, along with regularly updated data, analysis, interviews, and commentary drawn from www.in-cites.com and ESI Special Topics (www.esi-topics.com).
Bringing all these resources together in one easily accessible website gives the scientific community an ideal, convenient location for keeping up with the latest developments in science – what the leading scientists have to say, how the hottest topics are affecting research and everyday life, where the most significant research is taking place, and much more.
"Sciencewatch.com uses data from the Thomson Scientific Web of Science and also our Essential Sciences Indicators database, but then adds another dimension," says Dr. Henry Small, Chief Scientist at Thomson Scientific. "The database provides an unbiased way to survey the scientific landscape and spot features that are newsworthy and significant — new topics, new developments, new trends. Then we dig deeper, and interview the scientists involved. So when you access sciencewatch.com, you're accessing the scientific community — and discovering their perspectives and their insights."
