Science Direct

Michael, Thank you so much for your instructions on exporting from Science Direct. It took me a minute to find the Export button (it is so small), but I kept looking since you said it was there. I tried it and it worked perfectly. I'm going to pass this on to our users immediately. Ronnie Mevorach, Librarian McGoogan Library of Medicine 986705 Nebraska Medical Center Omaha, NE 68198-6705 402-559-8079 I use EndNote 4.0.1 with Science Direct routinely, and have no trouble exporting files directly to EndNote. It defaults to looking for a library in the EndNote root directory, so I use a temporary library from which I move new references into their respective appropriate libraries at the end of a Science Direct session. It works using either Netscape (4.75) or Internet Explorer (5, 5.5). After checking the boxes of the papers of interest, choose "export," which sends you to a new screen. Select "Citations" or "Citations + Abstracts" under Export as you wish, then leave the default format "RIS format (for Reference Manager, ProCite, EndNote)." It then asks you for the EndNote library to which you want the references exported. Note that if you have other references in that library, they will not show in the first screen. You will have to go to the menu "References/show all" to display them. I hope this helps. Michael R.

How can I import records into EndNote from Science Direct? I've tried exporting information out in the RIS format, but it saves it to Procite instead of endnote. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

I've tried exporting information out in the RIS format, but it saves it to Procite instead of endnote. *************************************** Dennis; I routinely import records into EndNote (version 5, and now 7) from Science Direct from the RIS/ProCite format. It connects to EndNote directly just fine, though I have to move to other directories usually to get the references into the libraries of my choice. The only problem I have occasionally is that if there are large lists of papers and you only check certain ones, sometimes Science Direct doesn't give you the correct choices. I've told them about it, and progress has been made, but it's still not 100% fixed. However, if you first do "display only checked documents," then it always seems to work. I do not own ProCite. If you do have it, then there must be a problem with some setting for the file association that triggers ProCite to load instead of EndNote. Maybe other users have worked this out, or EN tech support. I just wanted to confirm that EN does work quite well with imports from Science Direct. --Mike Michael R.

Hello Dennis, I wish I could explain how I get the popup...but it appears whether I use IE or Netscape, and it appears whether I'm in ScienceDirect, Web of Knowledge, EBSCO databases, ProQuest etc. ...any of the databases that support export. So I think it's not a browser setting, nor is it specific to just Science Direct, but rather the interface between Export in RIS format and all three software products (EN5,RefMan10 and ProCite5). And unless my memory is wrong, I got the same popup waaay back in the 90s when Endnote was still owned by Niles and very few databases offered export except Web of Science. Are both ProCite and Endnote residing on your C:drive in Program Files? That's where all 3 of mine are located. That's the only variable I can think might be at work in your situation. Oh, I'm still using Windows98. Perhaps Endnote tech support can be of more assistance than I can at this point..sorry... have a nice day, virginia virginia benjamin univ. of georgia libraries athens, ga. > >Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2003 16:47:09 -0700 >From: Dennis Lai /> >Subject: Re: Science Direct was Re: endnote-interest-digest V1 #1450 > >Virgina, > >Hmmm, interesting.

Hello, I had the same problem once two years ago, and I installed the export plug-in (http://thomsonisiresearchsoft.com/support/export/). After that a pop-up windows opened in order for me to choose between Procite and EndNote. Hope this help.

I can click off of word and use other applications, but Word is effectively frozen. This happens just while I'm typing, not doing anything fancy. The only thing that is different with this document and many others I've written on this computer with Word is that with this one, I am using EndNote and inserting references. Do you have any ideas on why this is happening? Any tips on what I could do to determine what the problem is? Are there any patches or the like that I should apply that will help stabalize this? Does it seem that my document is somehow corrupt? If so, how would you suggest I go about transferring it to another document? Thanks very much for any advice you can offer?

I can't believe the mac version is doesn't have all the functionality of the PC version. Don't the developers check these things? Looks like the only way to copy a single reference is with command-k (copy formatted), and if I want to copy part of a reference I'll have to open its record. The command-k trick does pretty much solve the problem for me, though. - -Penney On Oct 24, 2003, at 1:32 PM, Robert Evans wrote: > > Hello Penney, > > To my knowledge there is no way to do what you want to do.

I am having problems downloading complete citations from Science Direct - whether I choose "citation" or 'citation and abstract," the author's name and journal name are absent. Other details such as article title, volume, issue and abstract are present in my EN library. I am connected to my university's library from home via a VPN link and do not have this problem with other journals or databases. Using EN7. Many thanks for your advice Dianne Moses ________________________________________________________________________= This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
