Getting Articles through Web of Science

Web of Science is an article database that provides broad topic coverage for science, social science and humanities journal articles.

Unlike some of our other databases, Web of Science doesn't include PDFs of articles, only links you can follow where we might or might not have access. Below are the steps to get from an article in Web of Science to either the article through the library's subscriptions, or through Interlibrary Loan.

To get to Web of Science from the Library homepage click on the Databases A-Z link:

Either type Web of Science in the search box or click on the W and scroll down to Web of Science

Search by topic, author, or for a specific article:

Once you've found an article you want, click the Find Text button to get to the article:

If we have access to the article there will be a link on the new page that opens, in the View Online section like this:

If we don't have access, you'll see a link to request it from another library (sign in to LibrarySearch if you haven't ahready)

Click on the Get It button to request the article or chapter

Enter your email address, click the checkbox and then the Send button.

You'll get an email from the system when your article is available as a PDF for you to download.
