The Web of Science (WoS; previously known as Web of Knowledge) is a paid-access platform that provides (typically via the internet) access to multiple databases that provide reference and citation data from academic journals, conference proceedings, and other documents in various academic disciplines. Until 1997, it was originally produced by the Institute for Scientific Information.[1] It is currently owned by Clarivate,[2] and currently contains 79 million records in the core collection and 171 million records on the platform.[3]
