Discover a rich and comprehensive view of life sciences research, including the most important discoveries, significant influences and relevant connections.
BIOSIS Citation Index combines the carefully indexed life science coverage found in BIOSIS Previews (Biological Abstracts, Reports, Reviews, and Meetings) with the power of cited reference searching in Web of Science. Precision searching is delivered through custom terms, and specialized, article-level indexing, with tags to vital data such as Enzyme Commission numbers, and cross-references throughout to gene, disease, and organism names.
Deep and broad coverage across all subject areas, including traditional areas of biology like botany, zoology, and microbiology; alongside related and interdisciplinary fields such as agriculture, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical, biophysics, biotechnology, ecology, medicine, and pharmacology.
