1. Variety of searches in the Web of Science Core Collection
To obtain information in the Web of Science Core Collection, an abstract, multidisciplinary base of scientific literature, four types of searches are available: basic and advanced, by author and in the article literature. Let’s consider the algorithm and features of each search and find answers to frequently asked questions: is the journal indexed / since what year in the database; what is his impact factor and quartile; how many articles and what is the Hirsch index for a given scientist; how many works have been published by the employees of this organization in the last two years; how many are in the journals Nature and Science; how many articles in journals with an impact factor a given organization or country has; whether this document is indexed; in which journals and by whom my articles are cited; published in the journal; which is not part of the Web of Science Core Collection; what areas are financed by this grantor; whether compatriots received grants from this fund; which magazines have more works by our competitors or colleagues.

2. Open Access Challenges
On October 25-31, 2021, the already traditional open access week is taking place. This year’s theme is “It Matters How We Open Knowledge: Building Structural Equity”. At the webinar, we will analyze what open access is, open science, what types are there, what difficulties scientists and organizations may encounter in connection with the implementation of Plan S, how the cost of publications has changed. How does the openness of publications and data affect the subsequent citation of works and whether we really have equal opportunities due to open access. Let’s compare the impact of open access publications and those spreading according to the traditional model based on data from the Web of Science Core Collection database and the InCites analytical system.
