Anyway, I will have to look into this. > Ah, Endnote is produced by an ISI division. Now I see the dark pattern ... I think ISI WoS is in the US, not just UK. The BIDS query is UK-specific. (There's also a query at axiom.iop.org that also requires a different subscription that the direct ISI.) I should have access to ISI/WoS at work. I don't have a MS Win box nor Endnote. Could I help? Is there a query/cgi that can be formulated direct to ISI? Adam |
