Important changes to Web of Science

ISI have made a fundamental change to the way that Web of Knowledge (including Web of Science) databases search.

When using the Topic Search or Quick Search options, search terms are no longer automatically "phrase" searched, they are instead automatically "anded".
This is similar to the way that the Google search engines operate.

For example, instead of entering total quality management AND change
you should now enter "total quality management" AND change

N.B. the quotation marks are necessary to force an exact phrase search
N.B. the AND is not necessary, but helps to show you the structure of your search
