-- Initiative provides Institute's corporate partners with broad
academic knowledge and insight into emerging markets
PHILADELPHIA, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Intellectual
Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters, the world's
leading source of intelligent information for businesses and
professionals, today announced a collaboration with the Emerging
Markets Institute at Cornell
University's Johnson Graduate School of Management to power
a unique academic research portal through the Web of Science™, the
premier scientific search and discovery platform and industry
authority in science, social science, and arts & humanities
citation indexes.
"When first establishing the institute, we recognized that our
partners needed a means to access this broad body of academic
knowledge, and sought to find a solution," said Javier Perez, research director for the Emerging
Markets Institute. "We developed a portal to provide our corporate
partners with the same valuable resources which we have here in the
university."
The portal provides access to 50 academic journals with articles
covering 43 emerging economies across the past five years. The
portal web page also contains timely blogs about recent
publications and trends in academic publishing about emerging
markets.
"We have not seen this tool offered by any other peer
institution to the private sector, and are pleased to collaborate
with Thomson Reuters on this," said Richard
J. Coyle, executive director for the Emerging Markets
Institute at Cornell. "We considered
many information databases in our search for an authority on the
emerging markets, and unanimously chose Thomson Reuters Web of
Science for our portal."
This collaboration highlights Thomson Reuters continued
commitment to spotlight regionally relevant scholarly literature
and identify influential authors and research within rapidly
developing research centers. The organization recently integrated
the SciELO Citation Index, which includes approximately 700 titles
and more than 4 million cited references from Open Access journals
from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, South
Africa, Spain and
Venezuela, into the Web of
Science.
"Thomson Reuters and Cornell's
Emerging Markets Institute share a commitment to promoting research
from emerging regions," said Gordon
Macomber, managing director of Thomson Reuters Scholarly and
Scientific Research business. "We look forward to supporting the
Emerging Market Institute's corporate partners by sharing
high-quality Open Access content from developing research
centers."
The Web of Science and its underlying citation indices have been
the primary resource for research discovery for 50 years. Its
content and tools are trusted by more than 6,000 of the world's
leading scholarly institutions and is the only interface to include
subject-specific, curated content on emerging trends.
