Called the Thomson Collexis Dashboard, it will provide enhanced knowledge discovery for the academic and government R&D communities. By merging Thomson Scientific's Web of Science data with the Collexis Knowledge Dashboard, users will have the ability to identify and search for documents, experts and trends, and make new discoveries more quickly, accurately and deeply than via conventional search engines.
"By marrying the data and functionality of our technology and domain
expertise in the life sciences with Thomson Scientific's extensive research
journal database, we are enabling users to take their research to the next
level," said
The Thomson Collexis Dashboard is a custom software and information solution that enables scientists to analyze large numbers of publications concerning a defined topic swiftly and efficiently, and filter the essential information. Additionally, it allows researchers to explore existing knowledge concepts and provides proactive suggestions about the direction of research across a topic or by category. It also includes multiple thesauri that allow different points of view on the same data and subject navigation. A time-saving solution for scientists, the Thomson Collexis Dashboard includes summarized information which is not to be found in any system currently available, and provides identification of experts across categories on multiple subsets of the literature instantly -- including their relevant social network.
The Web of Science provides seamless access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from close to 9,500 of the most prestigious, high impact research journals in the world. Web of Science also provides a unique search method through cited reference searching. With it, users can navigate forward, backward, and through the literature, searching all disciplines and time spans to uncover all the information relevant to their research. Users can also navigate to electronic full-text journal articles.
"Thomson Scientific is dedicated to providing our customers with powerful ways to mine the published literature," said Dave Kochalko, vice president, business strategy at Thomson Scientific. "Turning the Collexis engine on Web of Science will expose new insights and give users the tools to make ground breaking discoveries on specific topics in the life sciences, such as Alzheimer's or Diabetes, or any research discipline."
