- Description
- The National Science Foundation has a requirement for an electronic subscription to the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) via the Web of Knowledge platform. NSF proposed to procure this service directly from Thomson Reuters (Scientific) Inc on a single source basis for fiscal year 2011. The order will include 4 one-year option period to continue the service. The SSCI and SCIE databases provide bibliographic information for journal articles in the entire range of the sciences and social sciences. These databases of the latest peer reviewed literature are delivered via an integrated, versatile research platform, Web of Knowledge. The tool provides database service that combines evaluated content with the tools to use, manage, and analyze peer-reviewed scientific literature directly from scientists' desktops. It is used to find possible panelists for grant evaluations and provides unique features for obtaining author addresses and analyzing data for conflicts of interest. Additionally, the databases provide fully-searchable citation information for the sciences and social sciences. This allows program officers to examine the impact of previous research so that they can better evaluate the importance of research areas and also the prominence of possible panelists and principle investigators. These databases are only available from the producer, Thomson Scientific, Inc., and this firm is the only provider of these products and no comparable product is available. All responsible sources may respond to this announcement. See note 22 (except substitute 5 days for 45 days).
