New - easy importing from ISI Web of Knowledge

Web of Knowledge has just been upgraded, and there is now a button to import direct into RefWorks. Just select the articles you want, click
and it should import your references with no further ado!

Importing from ISI Web of Knowledge

Procedure for this has changed slightly as the import filter which used to be called 'ISI Web of Knowledge' has been changed to 'Thomson Reuters'.

So procedure is now:

a) Perform a search

b) Select the references you want to export to RefWorks

c) Scroll to the bottom of the page to the ‘Output Records’ section

d) In Step 3, click the drop-down menu ‘Save to other Reference Software’

e) Save as Plain Text

f) A text file will open in NotePad. Save this file

g) Log into RefWorks and click on References/Import

h) Select Import Filter/Datasource Thomson Reuters

i) Under Database choose Web of Knowledge

j) Browse to find the Text file you saved

k) Click on Import

EndNote / RefWorks clash - EndNote taking over your PC

We've found that with the latest version of EndNote installed on your PC, when you export from a database by opening up a text file (e.g. for IEEE, Cochrane Library etc) EndNote will automatically open and import the reference.

There doesn't seem to be a way to stop this (aside from uninstalling EndNote), so just accept that references where you need to open up a text file will go into EndNote first.

The way to get around this is to make sure you save the file to your desktop, then go into Refworks and import the file as you normally would.
