Web of Science News: August 2013

Posted on by

Some new features were added to the Web of Science (WoS) in the July release:

Auto-suggest for publication name
When you start to type your desired publication name in the Publication Name field, a list of the ten most relevant results to your query will appear. The suggestions refine as you continue to type. You may turn off the suggestions.

Spelling corrections
If no results are found relating to your search, “Did you mean” suggestions will be displayed for common misspellings in the topic and title fields.

Overlay sign in screen
The sign in function is opened in an overlay so that you do not have to leave your current search page.

New output of records menu
Now the output bar is located above and below the search results and it is displayed on the full record page, too. It includes a new “Select Page” option and a drop down menu for additional output formats. Completing the output is done through an overlay, guiding you through the process without disrupting your workflow.

Now available: EndNote X7

Posted on by

EndNote X7 for Windows has been released – X7 for Mac will come in July.

EndNote X7 has several new features to make working with PDFs easier. Now EndNote can automatically import PDFs from a selected folder and rename PDFs during the import process. The PDFs will be attached to existing records instead of creating new ones if those records already exist in your EndNote library.
With the new release you are able to create a bibliography in Word with seperate sections for seperate topics and add citations or reference lists to Microsoft PowerPoint slides (only for Windows). Three new reference types are available: interview, podcast and press release.

Share Groups & References with EndNote

Posted on by

Thomson Reuters offers EndNote Web for free now under the new name EndNote Basic.

Now it is easier to share references and groups with colleagues who do not have a EndNote license. You may share references (without attachements) in groups, give others read or write access, add references to the groups you share and import the references from someone else’s shared group into your library.

See the YouTube video on Sharing References with EndNote Web.
