Thomson Reuters Spotlights Emerging Research Centers with the Addition of SciELO Database to Web of Knowledge
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Partnership combines regionally relevant scholarly literature with powerful
tools to search, track, measure, and collaborate in the sciences, social
sciences, arts, and humanities
Philadelphia, PA, July 25, 2012 - The Intellectual Property & Science division
of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for
businesses and professionals, today announced it has partnered with Scientific
Electronic Library Online (SciELO) to host the SciELO database on Web of
Knowledge(SM), the world's most powerful search and discovery platform.
This partnership will help bring greater visibility and improved access to
research from emerging economies, particularly Latin America, the Caribbean,
South Africa, and developed Latin-language areas including Spain and Portugal.
The SciELO database will be integrated into Web of Knowledge, enabling
researchers to review and analyze relevant regional content alongside top-tier
international literature.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with SciELO. This will not only enhance the
reach of the important research taking place in Spanish-speaking developing
countries, but it will also bring new depth to our own data," said Keith
MacGregor, executive vice president at Thomson Reuters. "Researchers around the
world will gain new insights into the impact of the works emanating from these
regions."
Currently, SciELO publishes about 40 thousand new articles every year from over
900 open access journals from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Venezuela. The addition of
SciELO to Web of Knowledge will follow a similar model to that of the Chinese
Science Citation Database, which has been hosted on Web of Knowledge since
2008. Both databases are part of Thomson Reuters, to spotlight regionally
relevant scholarly literature and identify influential authors and research
within rapidly developing research centers.
"Supported by the Brazilian fund agency São Paulo Research Foundation, (FAPESP)
since its inception in 1998, SciELO is one of the earliest initiatives to
provide open access to the scientific literature. The agreement with Web of
Knowledge opens new horizons in SCIELO's mission to enhance the visibility of
the science done in Latin America, Spain and Portugal," said Carlos Henrique de
Brito Cruz, scientific director of FAPESP.
"It's our mission to overcome the distribution and dissemination barriers that
scientific journals from developing countries face by increasing the
accessibility of locally generated scientific information," said Abel Packer,
SciELO Coordinator. "Giving research in Latin America and other developing areas
increased prominence within Web of Knowledge means that the contributions of our
researchers will be a more visible part of the global scientific discourse."
Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge provides access to the world's largest citation
databases, covering over 100 years of research in more than 24,000 of the
highest impact journals from around the world, as well as thousands of academic
conference proceedings and scholarly books. For more information about Web of

About SciELO
SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online - is a Program of the São Paulo
Research Foundation (FAPESP) for the cooperative publishing of open access
journals on the Internet. Especially conceived to meet the scientific
communication needs of developing countries, particularly Latin America and the
Caribbean countries, it provides an efficient way to assure universal visibility
and accessibility to their scientific literature. In addition, the SciELO model
comprises quality control and integrated procedures for the measurement of usage
and impact of scientific journals.
SciELO was launched in 1998 by FAPESP with the technical cooperation of the
Latin America and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information
(BIREME/PAHO/WHO). Since 2002, the Project is also supported by the Brazilian
National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). Since its
launching, the SciELO publishing model was progressively adopted by national
research institutions of Ibero-American countries and South Africa comprising
the SciELO Network. For more information, go to http://www.scielo.org.
