European Research Council Signs Four-Year Deal for Web of Knowledge from Thomson Reuters
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, March 17, 2011 - Thomson Reuters announced today
that the pan-European funding organization, the European Research Council (ERC),
has selected Web of Knowledge(TM) to support the monitoring and evaluation of
its funding programs.
Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge is an integrated and versatile search and
discovery platform that delivers access to the world's leading scholarly
information in the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, as well as
providing metrics and analytical tools for assessing research influence and
impact.
The ERC signed a four year contract for access to the Thomson Reuters Web of
Knowledge platform, which includes multidisciplinary citation data, conference
proceedings records and analysis tools from the Web of Science(SM).
The Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge platform will provide the ERC with access
to the world's largest citation databases covering more than 12,000 of the
highest impact journals, and over 110,000 conference proceedings records from
around the world. Web of Knowledge was selected to assist the European Research
Council Executive Agency (ERCEA) in assessing the impact of ERC funded programs,
as outlined under the 'Ideas Program' of the European Union's Seventh Research
Framework Program (FP7).
"Generations of researchers have relied on the quality of our citation data to
guide their research and aid scientific discovery," said Keith MacGregor,
executive vice president at Thomson Reuters. "We are thrilled that the ERC will
now use the same citation data to assess the impact of their funding decisions."
