Research Impact for Fine Arts and Music

Web of Science Core Collection provides access to authoritative, multidisciplinary content in over 12,000 journals including Open Access and conference proceedings. 

Things to consider:

• Coverage of journals and other publications within the creative arts is not extensive, although researchers within music therapy, music psychology and education may find more results.
• You can create an account within Web of Science to save your records as you find them.
• In addition to Basic Search, you may also check Author Search and Cited Reference Search.
