Web Citation Index provides users with a robust citation-based discovery vehicle for preprints, technical reports, dissertations, proceedings, and other gray literature. It is the result of a collaborative program between Thomson Scientific, NEC Laboratories America (NEC), and seven major institutions: Australian National University, California Institute of Technology, Cornell University, the Max Planck Society, Monash University, University of Rochester, and NASA Langley.

Web of Science: Includes Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Science Citation Index. Contains the references cited by the authors of the journal articles they cover. A cited reference search enables you to find papers that cite a published work that you already know. In addition to cited reference searching, you can search by topic, author, or title.

Whonamedit.com: Who Named It? aims to present "a complete survey of all medical phenomena named for a person," as well as biographies of those people. This project should eventually provide over 15,000 eponym entries and over 6,000 biographical entries, about double the current numbers. The database is searchable, and the options for browsing include A-Z lists of names and eponyms, subject categories, biographies grouped by country, and female biographies. Some of the "biographies" are of fictional characters, such as Alice in Wonderland, or even places, such as Malta. The subject category browse option leaves much to be desired. There are 202 categories, with a number of duplicates--for instance, "Literature" shows up four times, and only one of these instances links to an entry (interestingly, none of the fictional eponyms show up under this category). A hierarchical rather than alphabetical arrangement of categories would be easier to navigate. The eponymous and biographical entries are generally a few sentences to a few paragraphs in length, and usually have a brief bibliography of primary sources.
