Abstract
Web of Science (WoS) is a platform based on web technology that collects the references of the main scientific publications of any discipline of knowledge since 1945, either scientific and technological, or humanistic and sociological, essential for supporting research and for the recognition of the efforts and progress made by the scientific and technological community. Its purpose is not to provide complete manuscripts, but rather to provide analysis tools that allow the performance and scientific quality of the research to be assessed and evaluated. It allows access to different Databases through a single query interface, being able to access a single Database or several simultaneously. WoS was founded by Eugene Garfield and belongs to Clarivate Analytics, formerly Thomson Reuters [1, 2, 3].
