Main ideas / lessons conveyed

  • The video explains how lecturers and researchers can find reputable journals indexed in Web of Science (WoS) to meet academic requirements (e.g., functional positions and research grant submissions).
  • It distinguishes WoS from other indexing platforms, specifically Scopus.
  • It demonstrates two practical ways to use WoS:
    1. Search/browse journals directly by journal name or ISSN, and verify that the journal is truly indexed in WoS.
    2. Use “Match Manuscript” by entering the manuscript title and abstract to receive WoS-journal recommendations ranked by fit.
  • It shows how to check journal details (publisher, country, language, publication frequency, and impact factor information) after confirming a journal is indexed.

Methodology / step-by-step instructions (detailed)

A) Prerequisites: log in (recommended)

Use the WoS/Clarivate access method:

  • If your university/institution subscribes
    • Log in using an account from your institution (typically through institutional access).
  • If not subscribed
    • You may use a personal account, but the video warns that information access will be more limited.

If registering a free/personal account:

  1. Enter your email address
  2. Create a password
  3. Enter your first name and last name
  4. Click Register
  5. Confirm your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox
  6. Then log in

B) Verify whether a specific journal is indexed in Web of Science

  1. Go to the Web of Science (Clarivate) site (link referenced as being provided in the video description).
  2. Use the journal search/browse function.
  3. Enter either:
    • Journal name, or
    • ISSN number
  4. From the results:
    • If the correct journal appears with matching details (name/ISSN), proceed to confirm using the journal’s profile.
  5. Open the journal’s “View profile” (or equivalent profile page).
  6. Scan key journal information, such as:
    • First issue year
    • Number of issues / publication history frequency (e.g., monthly → many issues per year)
    • Primary language
    • Country/region
    • Impact factor (noting the value shown may depend on the year relevant to the available data and access/subscription)

Examples shown in the video

  • A journal listed as WoS-indexed on its own website was cross-verified in WoS and confirmed.
  • A second journal that was expected/claimed to be indexed elsewhere (specifically Scopus) was searched in WoS and not found with sufficient similarity, leading to the conclusion that it is not indexed in WoS (based on the search mismatch).

C) Match Manuscript to recommended WoS-indexed journals

  1. Open the “Match Manuscript” feature.
  2. Enter:
    • Manuscript title
    • Manuscript abstract
  3. Review the recommended journals returned by the system:
    • Recommendations are ranked (higher “fit” appears first)
    • Each recommendation includes a score (the video demonstrates an example ranked top)
  4. For the top recommended journal, open the journal and verify details using the same checks as in direct verification:
    • Publisher website link
    • ISSN
    • Publication frequency (e.g., monthly)
    • Language (e.g., English)
    • Impact factor values (shown for specific years)
    • Access type notes (e.g., open access mentioned in the example)
  5. The video advises checking other candidates one-by-one (e.g., the next ranked journals) until you find the best fit.
