"Authenticates Your Scientific Profile and Boosts Visibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Web of Science?

It makes my scientific profile feel more authenticated and easier to find. It also captures my reviewer profile, editorial profile, and more. The platform is easy to use and straightforward to implement, and I use it regularly to keep my reviewer profile up to date. The acknowledgement from customer support is very prompt when it comes to adding peer reviews, and I assume this process is automated. Its integration with ORCID for log in and to keep track of all publications is helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web of Science?

So far, everything is fine, as it accurately captures and presents my profile. However, the option to select or edit Subject Categories under my profile is unavailable. Despite several attempts, I still haven’t been able to change it. Ironically, the current Subject Category was auto-selected and is incorrect—it doesn’t match my actual subject. Additionally, there is no way to email or reach the support centre or customer care for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent web tool for selecting quality journals"
5/5
What do you like best about Web of Science?

Most helpful thing in web of science is categorizing journals as ESCI and SCIE, which is very helpful for finding the best journal for publishing my review. Seaching journal names is also very easy to use. Since I am doing my phd degree I am frequently using Web of Science web tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web of Science?

Nothing to mention. One thing I would like to share regarding Social Science Citation Index SSCI. As my phd degree is focused on ASD, I am finding difficult to identify whether SSCI indexed journals are emerging journals or Expanded journals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review for Web of Science"
5/5
What do you like best about Web of Science?

I like that you combine similar search terms in parentheses (to search for one or all the search terms) and that you can use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT). I like that you can limit results by year of publication. I like that you can export citations to citation managers such as EndNote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web of Science?

"Garbage In, Garbage Out" applies: You only receive results for the terms that you search. You may not retrieve citations that may be useful but were not displayed because certain search terms were not included. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time saver software for a researcher"
5/5
What do you like best about Web of Science?

It allows us to access multiple databases on a single platform, and hence make the research easier. Additionally, the software provides EndNote as a citation tool, which is very useful for adding references in research papers and related documents. It saves a lot of time, instead of adding them manually, references can be added in any format using a citation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Web of Science?

It is quite expensive software as compared to some others. Also, all the options seem to be complex to a new user. But when an organization opts for this software, training is provided by the experts to understand the options and utilize the software completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
