New Zealand Universities Choose Web of Science by Thomson Reuters
SYDNEY, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
All Eight Universities Continue With Web of Science for Education And Research Needs
The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for
businesses and professionals, announced today that all eight universities in New Zealand have chosen to
renew Web of Science(R), the foremost multidisciplinary citation resource, for their education and research
needs.
The eight universities are the University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, University of
Canterbury, Lincoln University, Massey University, University of Otago, Victoria University of Wellington and
University of Waikato. All eight universities are committed to Web of Science for a period of three to five years
through 2013.
Web of Science provides researchers, administrators, faculty, and students with quick, powerful access to
the world's leading citation databases with multidisciplinary coverage of over 10,000 of the most influential,
high impact journals worldwide, spanning the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. This includes
Open Access journals and more than 110,000 conference proceedings.
Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching. This allows users to
navigate forward, backward, and through the literature, searching all disciplines and time periods to uncover
all the information relevant to their research. Users can also navigate to electronic full-text journal articles.
In addition, six of the eight universities have Century of Science(TM), a collection of deep backfiles which
expands Web of Science with the most important scientific bibliographic and cited reference data going as far
back as 1900.
Said Mr. Jeroen Prinsen, Director of Australia and New Zealand for Scientific, "We are pleased that Web of
Science continues to be the main resource of choice for universities as seen by the strong endorsement from
all eight universities in New Zealand with their renewals. As the leading global provider of intelligent
information to academic and research communities, we remain committed to supporting higher education and
research in this part of the world."
