How to Search Science Citation Index

Science Citation Index covers over 3200 journals in all areas of science and technology. Although strongest in the health and life sciences, it does provide good coverage in engineering. The index began in 1961 and is available in print from that date in the Life Science Library. The E-Resources LIst has an electronic edition which begins with 1986. 

SCI can also be searched as a subject database or for publications by an author.  However, since the coverage in engineering is relatively small in comparison to subject specific databases like Compendex, its strength is in the citation indexing aspect.

SCI is the only easy method to locate articles that have cited a relevant document.

Science Citation Index is available on the E-Resource List from 1986- and in the Life Sciences Library, Paterno from 1961-. 

Searching Summary

Select Science Citation Index from the LIAS E-Resources List. 

Click on the box 'Full Search

Click on the box 'Cited Reference Search'

In the 'Cited Author' box type the last name, space and initial(s) of the first author of the relevant paper. We will call this the target author and the target paper. If you target author is extremely well published or has a very common name, you may want to provide other distinguishing information.

Click 'Lookup'

You will have a list of papers by the target author.  A second column will indicate where each paper was published.  Select all that interest you. Then click 'Finish Search'

A list of articles that include your targeted articles will appear.  You can select all or those that you   have specific interest in. When you go to the record for these articles you will find complete bibliographic information so you can locate the article, an abstract, and a hyperlink for 'Cited References.'  Click on this and it takes you to the bibliography for this newly located article.  If you look down the list you should find your targeted author in the bibliography.

Abstract:
Advances in neutronics and thermohydraulic modeling have resulted in system codes capable of describing local interactions between the core neutronic behavior and the thermohydraulic conditions inside the vessel with full 3-dimensional real time coupling. Making use of these advances in the analysis of boron dilution transients requires a good description of the boron field inside the core, and of its transport along the primary system. However, the relatively low accuracy displayed by advanced system codes in the simulation of solute transport as a result of numerical diffusion is a major obstacle to performing accurate boron dilution studies.Implementation of high order numerical methods in system codes can considerably improve their accuracy when modeling solute transport by reducing the numerical diffusion to a level that is less than the physical diffusion expected from the turbulence of the flow; even when using relatively coarse noding schemes. In order to show this is feasible, the explicit QUICKEST-ULTIMATE scheme for -dimensional flow was adapted to the integration procedures used in system codes and implemented in TRAC-PF1/MOD2. Numerical tests were used to assess the performance of the method's implementation. A statistical methodology adapted from its original experimental formulation to the quantitative characterization of numerical diffusion in system codes was used for the analysis of the results. They showed that, for Bow conditions commonly found in nuclear system simulations, high order tracking of a solute field can provide results whose diffusion is considerably less than that expected from the turbulence and characteristics of the Bow field.
