Emerald
You can now include in your search results (Advanced Search) EarlyCite Articles and Emerald Backfiles.
What is EarlyCite? Emerald EarlyCite brings you Emerald articles sooner than the current production process allows. The Emerald EarlyCite articles will be fully peer-reviewed but will not have been through the sub-editing and page-proofing process. EarlyCite is scheduled for official release shortly. The changes to the search facility are the first stage in this process.
Web of Knowledge
The same email address and password can now be used to access and personalize Web of Knowledge, ResearcherID and EndNote Web. If you’re already registered with Web of Knowledge, then you’re also automatically registered with EndNote Web and can login using the same user name and password. Register for ResearcherID using the same email address and password; Sign in to Web of Knowledge and then click Sign-up/Access My ResearcherID on the right-hand side of the page. The information from your Web of Knowledge profile will be automatically transferred to the registration form.
