Instructions for access to all online resources

Connectivity to Iscte VPN

For access off campus to any of the online resources mentioned you have to install our VPN (Virtual Private Network). This installation has 2 steps:

  • Step 1: First of all, you must do a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) which is a method by which a user confirms the identity through two or more pieces of evidence successfully presented. In the case of Iscte, we consider the username and password to be the first authentication factor. The choice of the second factor will be up to the user. We recommend OKTA Verify App.
    Visit https://identity.iscte-iul.pt/, confirm your identity at Identity, follow the steps  https://siic.iscte-iul.pt/en/mfa-2/  and proceed with the setting up the Okta Verify app on your mobile phone.
  • Step 2: Then go to the VPN installation homepage:
    https://siic.iscte-iul.pt/en/services/networks-and-connectivity/vpn/#install-vpn  where you can select among Windows, MacOSX, Linux or Tablets and Smartphones to setup it.

Citation databases

Scopus and Web of Science are the most popular citation databases worldwide. The Scopus database was established after the WoS, but it contains more indexed articles.

  • Scopus From the perspective of publication metrics, the Scopus database by the publisher Elsevier is one of the key sources of publication data. Scopus was released in 2004. One of the key benefits of Scopus, in relation to Web of Science, in particular, is its coverage, as it indexes more than 82 million documents from more than 7.000 different publishers.
  • Web of Science is a huge citation database. It was originally created by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and it is currently maintained by Clarivate Analytics. The WoS platform consists of several, separate multidisciplinary, field-specific and regional citation databases as well as patent and research information databases. All in all, the WoS databases hold 182 million records starting from the 19th century. A set of multidisciplinary journals, books and conference publications, selected as globally the most influential, form the Web of Science Core Collection database.
