NAME

SOAP::ISIWoK - search and query the ISI Web of Knowledge

SYNOPSIS

use SOAP::ISIWoK;

my $wok = SOAP::ISIWoK->new();

print $results->toString;

DESCRIPTION

This module is a thin wrapper for the ISI Web of Knowledge SOAP interface.

It takes a search description and returns the resulting XML response from ISI as a XML::LibXML document. Parsing the search result is outside of the scope of this module.

To access the ISI WoK interface you will need a subscription to ISI WoK and arrange for access to their Web services server (you'll need to talk to your ISI representative).

ISI QUERY FORMAT

AU = (Brody) and TI = (citation impact)

A search query consists of index = terms where index is one of the indexes listed below. terms is one or more terms in double quotes (") or parentheses ('(' and ')').

Multiple operands can be joined using logical operators:

same

Results in all records in which both operands are found together in the same sentence. A sentence is a period delimited string. A field that does not contain period delimited strings is treated as a single sentence. If a 'same' operator joins two query expressions, then both query expressions must have the same index.

not

Results in all records represented in the left operand but not the right operand.

and

Results in all records represented in the both the left operand and the right operand.

or

Results in all records represented in either or both the left operand and the right operand.
