Ordering Documents

Using the "Format for Document Delivery" button, you can order the full text of any article. This button will not display if you do not have a document ordering option in your configuration.

Note: Depending on your configuration, the "Format for Document Delivery" button will perform one of these three functions:

  • Open the ISI Document Solution document ordering web site. Your marked list is passed for easy document ordering. Refer to the instructions on that site for more information.
  • Open a third-party document ordering web site. Because the list of marked records are not sent to this site, you will need to enter the article information required by that site. Refer to the instructions on that site for more information.
  • Send an e-mail to a predetermined Web of Science site administrator requesting the full text of the articles listed on the Marked Records page.

Sample Saved Record

ISI's save file format is illustrated in the following sample record. You will see bibliographic information such as this for each record on your marked list. Two-character tags identify each data element in the record. Records are separated by an ER (end of record) tag.

Each export file begins with two lines that identify the file type (FN) and version number (VR) of the export format.

ID FIBRIL PROTEIN PRP; SIP GENE; SHEEP
AB This investigation studied the maternal transmission of scrapie in sheep by using embryo transfer to examine the viability of highly susceptible offspring derived from scrapie- affected and uninfected donors. The study also examined the effect of washing the embryos, Scrapie occurred in both washed and unwashed embryo-derived Sip sAsA progeny from both groups of donor ewes, As a result, the earlier observation that scrapie might pass via the unwashed embryo to develop as disease in adult sheep has to be reassessed. Several other implications of the work are considered, including the possibility that natural scrapie is not purely a genetic disease.

Bibliographic Management Software

Bibliographic management software stores, manipulates, and prints out reference information in a variety of formats. Many of these software packages can import files containing reference information if the files are in the appropriate format. Since the required import format varies from product to product, you should consult the product documentation to determine whether your software can import ISI-generated files.
