Basic features of Clarivate resources for research activities
The webinars of this series are conducted by Irina Tikhonkova, Ph.D.
1. Web of Science Core Collection: Classic and New Interfaces
Since the new year, the Web of Science platform is available to users in two interfaces. In this webinar, we will compare the familiar classic and new interfaces, analyze the familiar and new capabilities of these interfaces. We will show you how to register your profile and provide yourself with remote access to the Web of Science. Find and analyze scientific literature on a specific topic using truncation symbols, replacements, search operators, related records. We will determine which journals have the most publications on this topic, which works are most in demand, which organizations and scientists are successfully working on this topic, and which funds have funded similar research. Let’s save the found information in a convenient format. We will share the information we have found with our colleagues and set up notifications about the arrival of new works.

2. Scientific journals: the good, the bad, and the predatory
One of the most pressing questions for researchers is the choice of journal for publication. Choosing the right publication allows you to demonstrate achievements, gain recognition in the scientific world, while publication in a predatory journal can negatively affect your career. The history of scientific journals began in 1665. At the webinar, we will consider the following questions: how magazines have changed, their formats and business models; how journals are selected in the Web of Science; what is the impact factor, what modifications are there, why a quartile is needed, why not all journals have them; how, by whom and why “other impact factors” are “calculated”; what are the signs of a good magazine; what types of predatory magazines are there how not to fall prey to them? And we will consider how to select and save lists of journals from free publications using: Web of Science Core Collection, Manuscript Matcher (Master Journal List), Journal Citation Reports.

3. Possibilities and functions of the author’s profiles of the scientist
Each scientist must periodically demonstrate his results, for example, at regular certifications, and also often faces the need to search and analyze the achievements of his colleagues. In this case, difficulties may arise with identification and correct assessment, the reasons for this may be variations in transliteration of a common surname or its change. The webinar will consider: capabilities, functions, creation, adjustment, advantages and disadvantages of the main authoring profiles Publons, Orcid, ResearchGate, Google Scholar. How to present your work, is it possible to post the full texts of your articles, how to increase the citation rate of publications, why is my work not visible in the organization’s profile, and why is the Hirsch index different in different databases? About publications, citations, impact factors, journal quartiles and the new beamplots in the scientist’s profile in the new Web of Science interface.
