Web of Science (ISI) Interface provides access to the ISI Citation databases: Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Science Citation Index, and Social Science Citation Index.
Extensive help in using these databases is available from:
Web of Science Tutorial will give you an overview of this database and understanding of how to use it.
Web of Science Recorded Training Materials provides instructional tips on a number of specific items such as New Features , Citation Report, Citation Alerting , Cited Reference Searching, and Saving Search Histories and Alerts among several other important features available in this database.
Web of Science FAQs provides useful tips in answering questions such as What is Citation Report?, How do I use the new Analyze Records feature?, and How do I use Author Finder? among many other questions that you may have.
