    PHILADELPHIA and LONDON, Nov. 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Thomson Scientific, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE:
TOC; TSX: TOC) and leading provider of information
solutions to the worldwide research and business
communities, today announced the launch of its new campaign
"Confessions ... of a User." The campaign features
video confessions/testimonials from real-life ISI Web of
Knowledge users representing various personas. In addition
to the already featured videos, there is a YouTube-style
component which enables other users to upload their own
confessions/testimonials. 

    ISI Web of Knowledge users can visit
newfaceofresearch.com to watch their peers talk about how
they use ISI Web of Knowledge and what it has helped them
to achieve.  They are also encouraged to submit their own
video for inclusion on the web site. The first twenty
videos uploaded to the gallery will receive an iPOD Shuffle
and the confession downloaded the most by the end of the
year will win an iPOD Touch.

    "Every 1.5 seconds a unique user is accessing ISI
Web of Knowledge," said Jim Pringle, Thomson
Scientific's Vice President of Product Development.
"This peer-to-peer approach answers questions and
offers recommendations from the people who know our product
best - the users." 

    ISI Web of Knowledge, an integrated, versatile research
platform, delivers easy access to high quality, diversified
scholarly information in the sciences, social sciences, and
arts and humanities, as well as search and analysis tools
that enhance this content.  The platform provides users the
ability to search the right content and find relevant
information - whether that information is found in
international journals, open access resources, books,
patents, proceedings or Web sites.

confession, please visit: http://newfaceofresearch.com.
