I had a patron the other day with an assignment that required her to find out how many times a certain book had been cited. I showed her google scholar and Web of Science, but authomatically assumed that WOS did not track book citations since it doesn’t offer “monograph” as a material type or suggest anywhere obvious that it tracks anything other than journal articles. I’ve since discovered that many monographs are tracked after all, but getting at the citations is tricky since WOS has abbreviated monograph titles in the same obscure manner that it abbreviates journal titles….That being said – after I read the following help page – I did manage to find citations for 3 or 4 randomly selected books: http://images.isiknowledge.com/help/WOS/hcr_citedbks.html Since this is apparently for a class assignment maybe it will come up again.
