Scientific Research Resources for CIAT Staff - 2016

CIAT provides full text access to over 1700 academic journals. We subscribe to journals on all of your favourite topics: agriculture, crop protection, plant physiology, climate change, policy, soils, nutrition, and more. 233 of these journals can be found via an alphabetized list. An additional 1500 can be found via Springer Link (access from Outside CIAT).

Particularly exciting is our new subscription to Web of Science (access from Outside CIAT)! Web of Science provides citation indexing and analysis of thousands of the most prominent academic journals. This database allows researchers to identify which articles have been cited most frequently, and who has cited them. The database also provides measures of the academic impact of the papers and journals indexed. Journals indexed in Web of Science make up the ISI Thompson Reuters Master Journal List.

Through Web of Science, users can also access Endnote, a web-based reference organizer. Users can register for an Endnote account for free within Web of Science by selecting Endnote from the top menu bar, and registering with their own email address. Please feel free to provide us with feedback on this service. We are curious to know whether you find it useful.
