Thomson Reuters, a US-based provider of information for healthcare professionals, has announced that the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACYT), a national council promoting science and technology policies in Mexico, has selected Web of Knowledge to enhance the research and analytic capabilities of researchers across the nation.
All 118 institutions and universities supported by CONACYT will now gain access to Web of Knowledge, including multidisciplinary citation data, conference proceedings records and analysis tools from Web of Science, and Journal Citation Reports, connecting Mexican researchers to the most influential literature from around the world.
CONACYT chose Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge to help Mexican researchers navigate the extensive full-text article collections CONACYT has helped secure for the nation's universities and research facilities. The two-year contract represents a major investment by CONACYT in smaller institutions and universities that previously lacked the means to support the growth of scientific research.
With an index of over 12,000 journals and 148,000 conference proceedings across multiple disciplines, Web of Science provides a comprehensive citation database for CONACYT members to find high-impact articles and proceedings and detect emerging research trends. Journal Citation Reports extends the capabilities of Web of Science to measure and evaluate journal impact and influence, and calculates a Journal Impact Factor for each covered publication.
