Links to Full Text

The linkage service provides links between Web of Science resources and electronic full text, there is no fee for using the linkage service. Links can be made available for those electronic titles that your institution has access to and where there is a Links agreement in place between Clarivate and the journal publisher. Further information regarding links to full text can be found at https://clarivate.com/webofsciencegroup/solutions/full-text-links/

To subscribe to this free linkage service or to amend an existing journal set please first check that links agreements are in place between the journal publisher and Clarivate using the Master Journal List, if there are agreements in place for the titles please forward details to the helpdesk at webofscience@jisc.ac.uk (indicating start and end dates where necessary).

An article describing Links, by Helen Atkins (Director of Database Development) and titled "The ISI® Web of Science® – Links and Electronic Journals: How links work today in the Web of Science, and the challenges posed by electronic journals", was published in the September 1999 issue of D-Lib Magazine.

Holdings Service

The Web of Science Holdings Service (free option) provides three central benefits:

  1. Links to Paper Journals The Holdings Service allows you to link from a certain Web of Science product records e.g. WoS, Conference Proceedings Citation Index, through to your institution's library catalogue. This allows users to locate the paper copy of journals that they cannot access online.
  2. Links through to additional online journals
    Holdings potentially provides a link to electronic journals not currently the subject of an agreement between Clarivate and the publisher concerned.
  3. Alternative route to electronic journals
    Holdings provides an alternate route to access the electronic version of journals which may be of use to your users.

Institutions are now able to request up to 8 holdings links e.g. to your Institution's OPAC and additionally to other online catalogues such as Library Hub Discover.

If you would like to subscribe to this free service and you have a web-accessible OPAC that supports ISSN searching, you may be able to query it directly from certain Web of Science products using the holdings service. Please send your search URL (which has the ISSN number within it) to the Web of Science Service for UK Education helpdesk at webofscience@jisc.ac.uk and state which library management system you use. The holdings service will then be set up for you free of charge once all your details have been confirmed.

OpenURL Resolver Option for Web of Science

Institutions have another free option for linking all their electronic resources and services using OpenURL Software, this option extends the linking possibilities beyond scholarly journals and citation databases.

If you require any further information or wish to have this free option enabled for your institution, please contact the Web of Science Service for UK Education helpdesk.

Please note: Links, Holdings and OpenURL Resolver are FREE options.

EndNote 20 and EndNote Online comparison chart - Note: Subscribers to the Web of Science Service or UK Education have access to the enhanched version of EndNote Online which provides additional features.

Remote Access Extension solution
A Remote Access Extension solution has been made available for End Note Licensees that want to provide the software (without local installation) via a hosted server solution to authorised users wishing to use their own personal machines, from any location. An additional fee is due for this option. This solution allows access to the hosted server image (eg, using Citrix, remote desktop/terminal services, etc) but does not permit installation of the software onto the authorised users' own machine (covered under the main licence). The Remote Access Extension solution is an optional add-on and is available for EndNote Licensees only. The pricing will be calculated on a pro-rata basis so that the extension will match the licence period. Authorised users may utilise the Remote Access Extension during the Subscription Agreement period, providing the user is a current Authorised User.
