Science Citation Index Expanded is a multidisciplinary
index to the journal literature of the sciences. It fully
indexes 5,900 major journals across 150 scientific
disciplines
A citation index contains the references cited by the

Google – Brand of the Year 2004
Larry Page
Sergey Brin
Google is a play on the word googol,
the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros.
Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense,
seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.
