Science Citation Index (SCI) is one of the three core index databases in Web of Science platform. SCI searches across over 9,500 of the world’s most impactful journals across 178 scientific disciplines. More than 53 million records and 1.18 billion cited references date back from 1900 to present. 

Our patrons also have access to the following three databases:

IC contains the structures and critical supporting data for novel organic compounds reported in leading international journals (Publication years: 1993 to present). It is a vital source of new information on biologically active compounds and natural products. 

CCR contains single- and multi-step new synthetic methods taken from leading journals and patents from 36 issuing authorities (Publication years: 1985 to present). The overall reaction flow is provided for each method, along with a detailed and accurate graphical representation of each reaction step.

MEDLINE is the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) premier bibliographic database, covering biomedicine and life sciences topics vital to biomedical practitioners, educators, and researchers, such as bioengineering, public health, clinical care, and plant and animal science, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, marine biology, and preclinical sciences (Publication years: 1950 to present).

The International Science and Technology Information Centre has subscribed to the database from 2023, offering access to universities and research institutions in Shenzhen, and our patrons can continue to access it.
