CC
Connect® provides a truly global approach to research
by combining comprehensive coverage, numerous access points, and exclusive
search techniques. It saves research time by providing one source for a
variety of research data including complete bibliographic information,
author abstracts, author addresses, and optional coverage of highly focused
data in specialized fields of business and technology.
In addition, CC
Connect® offers Internet subscribers Current Web Contents™,
an expanding ISI-evaluated collection of research-oriented Web sites. To
build this collection, subject specialists in the ISI editorial department
have modeled their comprehensive selection process on the editorial standards
developed over forty years ago by ISI . In the absence of peer review,
citation data, and established journal publishing standards, measuring
the value of a web site has necessitated the development of specialized
criteria specifically oriented to Web information. These criteria include:
authority, accuracy, and currency.
The link 
will take you to a record which contains the following information: the
name of the site as it appears at the top of the Web page or in the Window
title bar; a brief, informative description of the site written by Web
content editors at ISI; keyword descriptors as selected by Web content
editors; the name of the author of the site, if an author name appears
on the page; the publisher of the site; the language of the Web site; the
type of information to be found at the site such as bibliography, career/education
information, conference schedule information, database/databank, fellowship/scholarship
Information, or an individual's homepage; and the date of the last evaluation
by Web content editors at ISI.
Also look for the
logo on the Web sites that you visit on your own. ISI will be inviting
the creators of these scholarly sites to indicate that they have been evaluated
by ISI and that they are included in the Current Web Contents collection.
Extra Extra: A new weekly alerting feature
allows you to save profiles with the final search statement set to run
automatically. The results of the weekly search with that search statement
are delivered to you by e-mail. For additional enhancements to the service
