Search our online catalog or PubMan to find theses which were written by FHI staff. Most PhD theses from German universities are available online (from 2000 onwards):

A good source to find dissertations and thesis from around the world is the database ProQuest Dissertations & Theses [for subscribers only]. Over a million full text PhD theses are available for download in pdf format.

Furthermore we recommend BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) to search for theses worldwide. BASE is the search engine for academic open access web resources.

Creating Multiple Bibliographies with EndNote

Posted on by

It is really easy to create your own citation style in EndNote so that a seperate bibliography appears at the end of each chapter of your document. Here are the steps:

  • Open the predefined output style you would like to use (just double click in the style manager).
  • There are different output style options available on the sections panel. Choose the appropriate option: Create a bibliography for each section and also a complete bibliography at the end of the document.

  • Save your changes (Save as) by copying the existing output style and giving it a unique name.
  • You have to break your Microsoft Word document into sections before you can format your bibliography using the new output style.

Works with EndNote X3 and higher.

Creating Alerts from the Web of Science

Posted on by

Alerts are a comfortable way to keep you up-to-date about new papers regarding your area of research or who cites your work. Alerts are available in several databases like Web of Science and SciFinder (Keep me posted).

How to set up alerts and RSS feeds in Web of Science (WoS)?

1. Search Alert

  • Search alerts will notify you of new items added to the database that match your search query.
  • Save searches to run them again later or set up a citation alert by clicking the Save History / Create Alert button on the Search History page. In the next step you will be asked to save your history to your private account. To set up the search alert select the check box Send Me E-mail Alerts.

2. Citation Alert

  • You will be notified when a specific article is cited by any new article indexed in the WoS.
  • Each WoS record has a Create Citation Alert button. Just confirm to add the citation alert to your personal account.

3. RSS Feed

  • You can manage your alerts from any Web of Knowledge page. Click My Citation Alerts or My Saved Searches in the personalization tab (at the top of the page).
  • Set up a RSS feed to track new results that match your search terms by clicking the orange XML button in the RSS Feed column. Subscribe to your feed with your preferred reader or copy and paste the URL in your RSS reader subscriptions.

If you do not have a Web of Knowledge personal account you can easily create a new profile by using the Sign In button in the personalization tab (at the top of the page).
