Web of Science Core Collection
This database indexes scholarly journals and a few book chapters and conference proceedings across academic disciplines. Its most important feature is the ability to get information based on citation data: who is citing whom, what are the most-cited articles and authors, and where do their authors work. For articles beginning in 2008, you can also search by grant/sponsoring agency.
