Until a few weeks ago, I could grab citations from a search on ISI Web of Knowledge (Web of Science, specifically). Then, the interface was changed drastically, and it's no longer working.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some weird thing were my institution has a customized interface that no one else is using?

And the bottom line, what's the procedure for requesting/creating an updated site translator?

thanks

heyho..

The "document" icon in the adress-bar does appear when i click the "save to endnote, refman, procite" button on an ISI Web of Knowledge/Science search-results page. Clicking the "document" icon in the adress-bar a red square in the lower right edge of firefox appears, normally saying something like "saving document". but this square stays blank and zotero hangs for a moment (showing the "wait" / "hourglass"-cursor) and imports nothing.

this happens with several documents i tried to import. I have to export the result as bibtex and then import it to zotero...

- pan -

This happens for all articles i tried (so far).

Example:

URL of "Web of Knowledge" result-page (shows no zotero-icon in the adress-bar at all - would be nice if it did):

http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=UA&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=20&SID=W2ckFOCkGpkhbFp3mb4&page=1&doc=2&colname=WOS


URL of the "save to endnote, refman, procite" option from results from above
(shows zotero icon, but doesnt work, as described above):

http://pcs.isiknowledge.com/uml/uml_view.cgi?product_sid=W2ckFOCkGpkhbFp3mb4&product=WOS&product_st_thomas=http://esti.isiknowledge.com:8360/esti/xrpc&return_url=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.isiknowledge.com%2Ffull_record.do%3Fproduct%3DUA%26qid%3D20%26SID%3DW2ckFOCkGpkhbFp3mb4%26search_mode%3DGeneralSearch%26colname%3DWOS%26viewType%3DfullRecord%26doc%3D2%26page%3D1%26log_event%3Dno&quick_output=1&fields=Bib&reference_output.x=1&file_opt=plain_text

(maybe this second link wont work when not visited directly from the "results" page (?))


This example is the result of a search for TITLE:

"Long-term effects of ammonium sulphate on Calluna vulgaris"

in the web-of-knowledge search.


thanks for your fast reply

OK..

i see:

your individual-item page shows the "WEB OF SCIENCE" tab highlighted
(kind of navigation bar of the "web of knowledge" page).

your URL again:
http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=5&SID=1CLj@62C5NDCKe7HDOl&page=1&doc=1

and works!! (THX!)


my "search results" link has the "ALL DATABASES" tab highlighted.

my URL again:
http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=UA&qid=20&SID=W2ckFOCkGpkhbFp3mb4&search_mode=GeneralSearch&colname=WOS&viewType=fullRecord&doc=2&page=1&log_event=no&last_prod=WOS&highlighted_tab=UA&cacheurl=no

and doesnt work...

for some reasons following your link i cannot see the "all databases" tab - only
"web of science" and "additional ressources".
maybe thats because im logged in via universities vpn or something....

so thank you for solving my problem in the first place!

but i can still reproduce the error i described:
following your link, clicking on "Save to Endnote, Refman, Procite"
and then trying to import via zoteros adress-bar icon still fails.

OK, i think i never said it clearly:

i never meant a "search results" page with more than one item.
i always meant the "individual item" page.

You can have an "individual item" page in "web of science"-tab and (nearly) the same page in the "all databases"-tab.

In this "all databases" -tab an individual item pages doesnt show any zotero- icon in the adress- bar.
In the "web of science" tab it does.

another thing is what jimbotyson says:

a page with (more than one or only one) search results doesnt show a zotero-icon (or this icon doesnt work). would this icon work one could import multiple results with one click.
...

same here with Zotero 1.0.6 and firefox 2.0.0.14.

Import from ISI Web of Knowledge [V.4.2] does not work: I can't import entire page or single references obtained after searching the Current Content.

Otherwise, Zotero is great!

WOS and BIOSIS used to work for me but alas, no more. always trying to get around it - search in BIOSIS but go download articles in different collections (e.g., JSTOR) but often those don't work either (e.g., BioOne, icon is there but the red box appears to say: "Could Not Save Item.... known translator...").

(caveat: i'm pretty naive about how it really works) but maybe an alternative solution for frequently changing databases, etc is to be able to import the text format from whatever database/collection (e.g., WOS) and some how prompt Zotero to import the citation from notepad?

What about importing old ISI/PubMed search results from .txt files? EndNote can do that, but I couldn't get Zotero to do it.

On the whole, Zotero works great with WoK but there's one thing that bugging me. If I search for a paper, then click on the search result to get to the individual reference, the 'save to Zotero' icon comes up. However, if I get to the individual reference for the paper through another paper's 'cited references' list, this icon does not appear.

For example, this paper

http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=27&SID=R2BBjhDJbF9CpPgoLa7&page=1&doc=1

displays the icon fine.

The same paper reached through searching the cited references of this paper

http://apps.isiknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=WOS&colname=WOS&search_mode=CitingArticles&qid=29&SID=R2BBjhDJbF9CpPgoLa7&page=1&doc=3

has no icon:

http://apps.isiknowledge.com/CitedFullRecord.do?product=WOS&db_id=WOS&SID=R2BBjhDJbF9CpPgoLa7&search_mode=CitedFullRecord&isickref=130167001

Zotero seems to recognise 'FullRecords' but not 'CitedFullRecords'. As I said, it's not a huge issue just a little bit annoying when doing literature searches

Thankyou. I'd just like to reiterate how great Zotero is... It's great!
