Symbiosis has utilized the Web of Science for over a decade, greatly benefiting our research scholars. It has supported every stage of their research journey, from topic selection to publication. Additionally, training plays a crucial role in maximizing the platform's utility. Over the past few years, we have significantly enhanced our research output and have more than 10,000 research papers under our faculty members.

Dr. Sangeeta Paliwal University Librarian, Symbiosis International University

For me it has elevated the role of the Library in the academic project. The Library is now a recognised partner in research impact reporting, thanks to the Web of Science.

Paiki Muswazi University Librarian, University of the Witwatersrand

The Web of Science has the best academic reputation among academicians and research scholars and is technologically advanced. It’s a front-runner for adopting new technologies and solving problems that faculty members might not have anticipated. The integration of PQDT Global with the Web of Science has made this solution incomparable in the market, making it sought after by research scholars.

Mrs. Bhawna Vashishth Assistant Librarian, University of Delhi

The broad scope of the Web of Science has allowed me to search in interdisciplinary fields for appropriate literature in my own work as well as assisting students with their research process. The ability to search for older citations to locate seminal work is vital.

Librarian, Educational Institution

Regarding the research dimension, I think the Web of Science is far above other platforms. It covers not only sciences, life sciences and pure sciences but also arts, humanities, and social sciences. If I look at the Web of Science today, it is a product used by faculty members or researchers daily. We can't think of a day without accessing the Web of Science.

Shantanu Ganguly Director, Library, Ashoka University

As a teaching tool, the Web of Science is unsurpassed in its indexing and the ease with which students can focus on specific subject categories. Undergraduates gain a new perspective on how to refine a search topic and can quickly see what areas of research are more active in terms of papers written in a discipline within a certain time frame

Alison Ricker Head, Science Library, Oberlin College

Web of Science has been pivotal for our research scholars, particularly for conducting systematic literature reviews and identifying collaborators and funding agencies. The platform has significantly enhanced the quality of research and academic networking at our institution.

Dr. Lalitha Poluru Head Librarian, National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad

... I find the Web of Science to be an extremely useful tool. From creating alerts based on national/federal funding to prioritize the recruitment of articles for our institutional repository to my own research studies involving co-citation analysis to helping student researchers in many different subject areas, the Web of Science has been incredibly versatile!
