New Web of Science Author Search

Web of Science has recently released a new way of searching for authors and curating author profiles. New Author Search Thousands of authors in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection have been brought together with information from the Clarivate researcher profile service, Publons , and matched up with available researchers and ORCIDs to create new Author Records inside Web of Science. This makes life much easier than before to find publications by a particular author and view their author profile. As you type, the WoS will suggest entries that match the database. For example, if a First Name or initial matches the Surname you have just entered it will suggest these to you as you type, reducing the likelihood of running a search with no results. When a large number of records matches the name you are searching; for example, Cheng, Smith or Lopez, you are presented with country and affiliation options to help narrow down the results.
