Solving local problems with global information

 
February 2009

As international travel and migration makes the world seem smaller and more connected, it also poses a challenge: the global spread of disease.

The newest addition to ISI Web of KnowledgeSM, Global Health from CABI, was created with this global environment in mind. This definitive, comprehensive public health database completes the picture of international medical and health research by capturing key literature not covered by other databases.

By providing far more than just research published in the main academic journals, this resource delivers unique information on a wide range of biomedical topics. Subject specialists have chosen content from over 5,000 journals from 158 countries, plus coverage from books, reports, conference, patents and more. Content includes relevant information on occupational health, travel medicine, toxicology, health policy and planning, bioterrorism, food safety and hygiene, rural health, infectious disease and parasitology, and many other relevant topics.

In accessing Global Health through ISI Web of Knowledge, users can take full advantage of this unique content by:

  • Searching complementary databases, such as MEDLINE®, Web of Science®, and CAB Abstracts®, simultaneously via one platform—with the ISI Web of Knowledge all-database search
  • Accessing valuable citation information such as Times Cited and Related Records® (available to Web of Science subscribers)
  • Finding hidden and emerging trends, and identify leading researchers, journals and institutions in public health with the Analyze Tool
  • Keeping up to date with the newest developments with alerting and RSS feeds
  • Creating bibliographies while they search, with EndNote® Web, fully integrated into ISI Web of Knowledge
