As the leading ePublishing platform, HighWire (a division of the Stanford University Libraries) partners with independent scholarly publishers, societies, associations, and university presses to facilitate the digital dissemination of journals.

HighWire provides the platform on which the publications are made available, not the content.

Some of the journals are available by subscription only and Trent subscribes to many of these.

Wiley Online Library hosts a collection of online resources covering life, health and physical sciences, social science, and the humanities. It includes access to scholarly articles from 1500 journals, almost 10,000 online books, and hundreds of reference works, laboratory protocols and databases. (from the website, edited)

There are two options for connecting to this resource.

• The Wiley site allows searching across all publication types (books & journals).
  • If you use the Wiley site, you'll be shown results for all content, whether Trent has access to it or not. Look for the "unlocked" icon to indicate content we have paid for. (No icon = not available.)
• Scholars Portal Journals searches only the journals, along with thousands of other e-journals available to Trent.  Select "Subscribed Collections Only" to search.
• Scholars Portal Books searches the books, along with other e-books available to Trent. Select "Subscribed Collections Only" to search.

The Web of Science provides web access to the:

• Science Citation Index Expanded
• Social Sciences Citation Index
• Arts & Humanities Citation Index

Web of Science can be used both as a regular index to find articles on a topic, and as a citation index to search backward and forward through time. Once you find an article of interest, you can see what other resources are cited in that article (Cited References), and also find articles which have cited it (Citing Articles). You can even use the "Related Articles" feature to find other articles that have cited the same articles. Want to know who's citing your work? Do a "Cited References" search. For more information, see our webpage on Cited Reference Searching - Web of Science.

Tutorials on using this product can be found on their webpage for tutorials.

All journals indexed in the Web of Science are scholarly and peer-reviewed, representing the most important journals in the field. For further information on their selection criteria, see their essay entitled "THE THOMSON SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL SELECTION PROCESS".
