RELEASE NOTES, JANUARY 2016


SAVED MARKED LIST Saved Marked List is a new feature that allows users to curate datasets over multiple sessions by saving their work in progress in a marked list. By allowing users to resume saving items to a Marked List in a return visit, users have more time to review search results and determine which records they want to evaluate further. Once added to a Marked List, the custom dataset can be analyzed at InCites, added to EndNote bibliographies, send to ResearcherID to manage their academic reputation, or exported for offline analysis in the user’s choice of file formats.

Each individual user may save up to 50 lists, with each list containing up to 5000 items per list. Users will be able to name each list and provide an optional description. Previously saved lists may be re-opened and edited by adding new records or removing previously saved records. Users will be notified if the number of items requested in the marked list exceeds 5000 and when they approach the upper limit of 50 saved marked lists per user.

This feature is available across the Web of Science platform except for Derwent Innovation (which retains its separate marked list functionality for patents) and for chemical structures (Web of Science Core Collection Chemical Indexes Current Chemical Reactions and Index Chemicus).

Creating a Saved Marked List

1. To create a saved marked list, simply create a marked list by performing a search and selecting records for the dataset.

For illustration purposes only



2. The first time the user clicks Add to Marked List or Marked List, they will be notified of the new capability. This appears once per session.


3. The user will see the familiar Marked List page with the addition of new “Save” or “Open/Manage”.




4. While any user may collect records in a Marked List, only users who have registered with Web of Science to create a personalized account may access Saved Marked List.


5. Click on Save and provide a unique name for the marked list. List names should be shorter than 20 characters.




6. Done!


Editing a Previously Saved Marked List

1. To edit a previously saved marked list, open the list that you want to edit. Click Marked List to access the manage NOTE: the user must be logged into their personalized account to access their previously saved lists.




2. Click on the desired saved marked list that you want to edit.


3. Perform a new search to find additional records that meet your criteria.




4. Add new records to saved marked list.


5. New records are added.




6. Save the most current version of your work.


7. Give the list the same name as the previous list.




8. Confirm you wish to replace the old marked list.


Combining Previously Saved Marked Lists

1. Open the desired saved marked list




2. Select the 2nd marked list.


3. When you open the 2nd marked list, select that these records should be ADDED to the existing list. NOTES:

Each marked list can only contain 5000 records.

Records will be de-duplicated when lists are combined.

The list cannot be saved if it exceeds 5000.




4. New records are added to existing saved marked list. Remember to save your work before exiting.


Managing Saved Marked Lists Users may delete or rename previously saved marked lists from the Open/Manage screen. Each end user may store 50 marked lists associated with the email address used to register for the personalized account.

1. To delete a previously saved marked list, select the desired list and click delete. NOTE:

Each user may have 50 saved marked lists associated with their email address.

Users will be notified as they approach the maximum number of saved marked lists.




2. To rename a saved marked list, click “Edit” from the Open/Manage Saved Marked List screen. NOTE:

List name should be no longer than 20 characters.

Characters from non-Roman alphabets such as Russian (Cyrillic), Chinese, Korean, Japanese are not supported.


IMPROVED AUTHOR DISAMBIGUATION ALGORITHM FOR DISTINCT AUTHOR SETS To enhance our continuing emphasis on improved author disambiguation, Web of Science has improved the Distinct Author Record Sets which algorithmically clusters sets of papers that are likely to be authored by a single individual. Available within the Web of Science’s Core Collection, the Distinct Author Record Sets provide a simple way for researchers and research analysts alike to easily find more articles from specific authors regardless if the author is actively managing their academic reputation via an author identifier such as an ORCiD or a ResearcherID.

The improved algorithm leverages the carefully curated data that is the heart of the Web of Science Core Collection. In addition to the frequent updates from ORCiD and ResearcherID, key pieces of metadata such as Author Names, e-mails, Co-Authors, Citing Authors and Cited Authors are used to group together sets of items likely to be written by the same person.

These Distinct Author Record Sets can be accessed from the Search Results pages with the Web of Science Core Collection after performing a Basic Search using the Author field or the dedicated Author Search.

1. From the Basic Search results pages, View Distinct Author Record Sets OR




1. Perform an Author Search and click on Record Sets to access the Distinct Sets link





2. Access the improved Distinct Author Record Sets.


The new author identifier is also available as a new field in the WoS Premium API. The identifier assigned as part of the improved algorithm is called daisng_id. For continuity, the original identifier assigned using the older algorithm is still available. The original identifier is called dais_id.

MULTIPLE REPRINT AUTHORS In today’s more collaborative environment, the average number of authors per paper has been increasing dramatically. To recognize individuals who have played a particularly impactful role, many authors rely on editorial conventions such lead author or reprint author to distinguish those authors who deserve special honors. In light of these changes, journals are now accepting multiple names to serve as the reprint author—the person who should be contacted for additional questions about the paper.

To ensure that Web of Science preserves these honorary distinctions, we now have the ability to display multiple reprint authors within the Web of Science Core Collection. Multiple reprint author addresses will be indexed starting Jan. 27, 2016 for the Web of Science Core Collection content with a publication date of Jan 1, 2016 and later. Only multiple reprint author data correction requests for content with a publication date of Jan 1, 2016 will be processed. This policy does not apply to content published on or before Dec 31, 2015.
