Web of Science is an information retrieval platform developed by Thomson Reuters. Through this platform, users can search for information on the natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, including international journals, books, patents, conference proceedings, and online resources. For example, it is possible to search multiple databases (including specialized databases, multidisciplinary databases, and "Chinese Science Citation Database") either in single-bank or cross-database search, and to use analysis tools. At the same time, bibliographic information management software is used to create personal literature databases.
