The Data Citation Index is a specialized citation index for searching datasets. As of summer 2023, it contains around 13 million datasets with links to source data and to associated papers. To access it, select "Data Citation Index" on the drop-down menu in the main search screen:
You can then search using the normal Web of Science methods - the default search is topic, covering title, abstract, & keywords, and we recommend this is the most effective method for most searches.
The standard Web of Science sorting and filters are available for your results, but note that there is quite limited data for author affiliations or countries (perhaps only 25% of records) and for subjects (most are classed as "multidisciplinary" or "other"), so these may not be very useful.
The results for a given dataset will include a link to the data if available, plus standard metadata and a link to any Web of Science papers citing it in the sidebar - this link will go to a Core Collection search.
