Data Citation Index includes bibliographic and subject metadata from research data sets and data studies from a wide range of international data repositories. Source records include three document types: Repository, Data Study, and Data Set.
Each record in the product contains standard bibliographic metadata such as author, abstract, keywords, descriptor terms, and more. Records may include cited references and citing article counts to show how the data are linked and related to the published research literature with links to documents in other Web of Science collections.
Coverage
Coverage includes research areas in the social sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and humanities. Two citation index editions are available and include:
- Science (DCI-S) - 1900-present
- Social Sciences & Humanities (DCI-SSH) -1900-present
Some data sets may predate 1900. The product will retrieve these records if you select 1900-present as the timespan.
