Thomson Reuters Launches Century of Social Sciences

Thomson Reuters (www.thomsonreuters.com) has announced the launch of Century of Social Sciences, a unique set of backfiles covering groundbreaking research in the social sciences dating from 1900. Century of Social Sciences expands the coverage of Web of Science, available on the ISI Web of Knowledge platform.

Culled from more than 300 prestigious journals, information dating from 1900 is now available to researchers, faculty, authors, and students, allowing them to track research trends, authors, and articles over the entire century and to identify seminal studies that form the basis for today's research.

These social science journals represent a collection of the oldest and most prestigious sources in their respective fields. Full bibliographic and cited reference data is available in disciplines such as communication, education, geography, history, law, political science, and public health. Century of Social Sciences also features extensive coverage of high-impact psychology journals, including key titles associated with Sigmund Freud.
