The Web of Science database, developed by Clarivate Analytics, is a multidisciplinary academic database that provides access to an extensive collection of scholarly research literature. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities.
Web of Science provides several features that allow users to assess research performance:
