Using the ISI Thomson Effectively


The university through three strategic business units: PTAR, PPS and RMI organized a one-day workshop and training on how to use the newly purchased ISI Thomson Web of Science effectively. Two ISI trainers: Mr Raj Dave and Dr Lim facilitated the session. Fifty participants, mainly those from the university's RU Committee and Centres of Excellence attended the training. In a nutshell, the Web of Knowledge database can and should be used by researchers and authors as a tool to choose the right journal to publish in.
Through the right strategic choice, one can maximise the likelihood that one's article will be published in the best indexed journal. At the same time, the strategy enhances the probability that one's article will be cited by other authours.
