Export problems

• If the export of records from Web of Science does not proceed as it should, try clearing the cache and cookies in the web browser you are using and then exporting.  It may be necessary to re-open Web of Science and perform the search again

Databases hosted on Web of Science

• WoS is a gateway to a number of different databases: these can also be selected individually, such as Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index
• Medline is also hosted on the WoS platform - as well as on Ovid - and can be found by going to WoS (All Databases) and selecting Medline from a drop-down list
• Any of the databases on WoS therefore allow for direct export of results to Endnote Online
