We will also cover Smart Search, Fielded Search (previously called Basic Search), Query Builder Search (previously called Advanced Search), Cited Reference Search (searching in cited bibliographies), and author search. This webinar will be useful for both – those new to the platform and experienced users navigating new fields and terminology. Answers to questions from the registration forms

Topic: Organization Profile in Web of Science

Abstract: When analyzing an organization’s scientific activity, a key challenge is the significant number of variations of the same organization’s name that appear in publications. This can occur due to renaming, reassignment, or incorrect translations by authors. For organizations with more than 10 publications indexed in Web of Science Core Collection, an organization-enhanced profile is created upon request. This makes analyzing the organization in Web of Science and the InCites analytical system easy. This analysis is essential not only for governing bodies for evaluation purposes, but also for scientists selecting project partners, and for undergraduate and graduate students choosing a place to complete their dissertation. This webinar will cover how to analyze an organization’s publication activity in Web of Science and InCites, how to maintain an up-to-date profile, and how to apply for a profile if the organization doesn’t yet have one.                          Answers to questions from the registration forms

Time: 2:00 PM–3:00 PM (Astana time)
