26. The Web of Science, unlike the earlier ISI indexes, is supposed to include citations to an author's work regardless of whether he or she is the first-named or a subsequent author. Although anecdotal evidence reports that subsequently named coauthors are not fully covered in the Web of Science, this investigator found that all citations to articles in which he was the second author were retrieved under his name (as well as the first author's name).
