Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide an introduction to using 
databases from the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge, with special reference to 
Citation Indexes as an analysis tool for publications, and also to explain 
the meaning of the well-known Impact Factor. We present the partially 
modified new Consultation Interface to enhance information search routines 
of these databases. It introduces distinctive methods in search 
bibliography, including the correct application of analysis tools, paying 
particular attention to Journal Citation Reports and Impact Factor. We 
finish this article with comment on the consequences of using the Impact 
Factor as a quality indicator for the assessment of journals and 
publications, and how to ensure measures for indexing in the Thomson ISI 
Databases.
