THOMSON REUTERS LINKS

Thomson Reuters has a long history of providing access to bibliographic data from the highest quality research in the sciences, social sciences, and arts & humanities. Bibliographic data is invaluable for the discovery process, but more serious and discerning research often requires study of published materials in their entirety.

Thomson Reuters Links are a set of internal tools and external relationships designed to bring the literature's full text directly to the researcher as efficiently as possible.

How Thomson Reuters Links Works

Thomson Reuters Links (formerly Thomson Scientific Links) is a combination of several important processes:

  • ongoing processing of the Thomson Reuters Citation Databases
  • regular processing of each publisher's electronic content
  • creation of the Links table for linking Web of Knowledge to primary content and links to Web of Knowledge from the publisher's site
  • integration of the Links table into Web of Knowledge for intelligent and easy end-user links functionality

Thomson Reuters Links begins with the Thomson Reuters Citation Databases, a multidisciplinary bibliographic collection from over 8,000 international scholarly journals. All bibliographic information and the citations or references are processed, unified and indexed. These steps now support linking the Thomson Reuters source records (the basic bibliographic data) to the corresponding full-text documents. This process also provides the basis for cited reference searching.

The matching of the bibliographic information in Web of Knowledge and the publisher content occurs on a regular and ongoing basis as the publishers provide journal data feeds to Thomson Reuters. Data is provided either directly from the publisher—or from a file provided by CrossRef which includes all DOIs and metadata for participating members of CrossRef. The publisher's bibliographic data is processed and used to create a links table. When the publisher's data matches corresponding Thomson Reuters records in the links table, a full-text link button is posted on the article full record in Web of Knowledge.

Intranet

Intranet Web of Knowledge Customers

Web of Knowledge intranet customers who have also elected to hold primary content locally can utilize Thomson Reuters Links. Link processing will be done at Thomson Reuters and a customized Links table will be built. Intranet Web of Knowledge customers will receive from Thomson Reuters the appropriate table for installation on their Web of Knowledge server.

In addition, for consortia, links for each individual participating site can be customized. A Links table will be tailored precisely to a site's collection.

If you are an intranet customer with an interest in activating Thomson Reuters Links, please contact your Scientific Account Manager.
