Information solutions provider Thomson Scientific, part of Thomson Corporation, US, has announced that it is partnering with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to host the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) on the ISI Web of Knowledge platform. Developed with the assistance of National Natural Science Foundation of China in 1989, the CSCD comprises top scholarly publications from the People's Republic of China.
Bringing new depth to the ISI Web of Knowledge's already extensive records, the Chinese Science Citation Database includes more than 1,000 scholarly publications with over 1.3 million records in all. The database will be fully searchable within ISI Web of Knowledge. Also, users will be able to link from citations within the Chinese Science Citation Database to data within the Web of Science.
Available in early 2008, the Chinese Science Citation Database will be the first non-English product available within ISI Web of Knowledge. Since much of the bibliographic information will appear in both Chinese (Simplified) and English, ISI Web of Knowledge will be upgraded to support Unicode - expanding research capabilities and empowering users with new customisation options. Users can conduct searches in a preferred language.
