Web of Science is a multidisciplinary database that indexes over 10000 journals and offers powerful search options, including:

• refining results by subject, author, source, year or country
• tracking how often an article has been cited and the articles that have cited it
• creating search alerts via email or RSS

Its companion tool, Journal Citation Reports can be used to find the impact factor of a journal to identify highly cited journals in a discipline.
