Transfer of references from Web of Science

There are several opportunities to retrieve references from Web of Science (WoS) to EndNote. The situation determines which one should use:

Direct transfer of references from WoS

This is probably the best way to get references by searching the base’s interface, but not having to deal with intermediate storage with file location and formats.

How to:

    • Search and mark relevant references in WoS
    • Click the «Export» button, and select
      • «Export to EndNote Desktop»

      • Select «Full Record» under «Record Content»
      • Click «Export» and save the references unless this happens automatically
  • Depending on how the browser is set up, you may be asked what to do with the file. Choose to open it.
  • We strongly recommend to always check that the information is in the correct field in the EndNote library

 

Search via EndNote

You can search Web of Science via EndNote. You do not have to decide on the storage of files with formats etc. The disadvantage of this approach is that one cannot use the base’s search interface which provides many good search options. Search via EndNote is recommended if you are looking for specific articles you know in advance.
(PS: If you are off campus you must use a so-called. Proxy Server)

How to:

  • Make sure you are in «Online Search Mode»
  • Select «Online Search» from the «Tools» menu (or use the toolbar button  ) 
  • Select «Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate)» (or one of the sub bases below)
  • Fill in the search screen
  • The results appear in a window for temporary references and fall into the group called «Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate)» under the «Online Search» groups
  • To transfer references from Web of Science to your own EndNote library, select the desired references and click on the «Copy to Local Library» button 
  • We strongly recommend to always check that the information is in the correct field in the EndNote library
