Cross-Journal Searching

SCIENCE Online lets you search across multiple journals.

After performing a search in SCIENCE Online, you can perform the same search in other journals through the "pulldown menu" at the top of the search result page entitled "Try this search in:..." Selecting a journal title and clicking the "Search" button will start a search using the previously specified criteria in the selected journal.

Inter-Journal Links

So that you can quickly and easily move from articles to the full text of cited references, we have created hyperlinks from reference citations to the articles to which they refer.

When an article in SCIENCE Online cites an article from another HighWire-based journal, hyperlinks have been created which allow you to move from the original article to the abstract of the cited article. Likewise, links have been created to allow users of other HighWire-based journals to quickly and easily access SCIENCE Online articles. [List of Participating Journals]

These Inter-Journal links take you to the abstract of the cited reference. Limited free access may be granted to allow you free use of the single article which was cited by the original article.

Searching Medline

As a service to subscribers, we are developing a custom Medline Search Service. This service, will let you search the citations and abstracts in the Medline/PubMed database as well as material not present in conventional Medline databases, and will provide advanced search and retrieval features specifically designed for the readers of online biomedical journals.

Until this new service is available, use the new Experimental Medline / PubMed search system available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

The PubMed search system provides access to the PubMed database of bibliographic information, which is drawn primarily from Medline and PreMedline. In addition, for participating journals that are indexed selectively for Medline, PubMed includes all articles from that journal, not just those that are included in Medline. Finally, PubMed also provides access to the molecular biology databases included in NCBI's Entrez retrieval system. It is expected that access to additional National Library of Medicine databases will be added in the future.

Exporting Citations

We provide a simple and direct method of acquiring article citations in the Medlars format compatible with import into personal bibliographic management software such as EndNote, Reference Manager, or ProCite.

To export citations with Abstracts for any SCIENCE Online article to a citation manager program, the following steps are suggested:

1. View the abstract or Full Text article of interest

2. Click the [Download to Citation Manager] link above the article title.

3. When the tagged version of the citation is displayed, scroll until the "Save" button can be seen.

4. Select your preferred format (Macintosh, PC or Unix) from the "Save" menu and click the Save button.

5. Select the directory you wish to save the file in and give the file a unique name.

6. Follow the instructions that came with your citation manager to import the reference into your personal bibliographic database

If your citation manager does not support import of Medlars format, you may still use the Download function. After saving the citation to your local disk, open the citation file and manually copy/paste the information in the file into the appropriate fields in your personal bibliographic database.

Viewing Figures

Thumbnail Images:

A "thumbnail" -- a small version -- of each figure or equation appears in the text. In most cases, these thumbnails are sufficient to permit you to decide if you want to see the larger version(s).

Medium-Sized Images:

Clicking on a thumbnail opens a second window in your browser that displays a larger version of a table or figure, as well as the complete text of the figure's caption. You don't need any additional software to view this medium-size image.

Large, High-Resolution Images:

To view a high-resolution version of a figure, click on the medium-sized image or the link to "[View Larger Version of this Image]". Browsers can be used to view high-resolution images, but we recommend using a helper application instead. Read about obtaining and configuring a graphics viewer under the appropriate section: Macintosh, Windows, or Unix.

Printing

• Articles: Print the "Reprint (PDF) Version of this article" version for output that closely resembles the paper version of SCIENCE Online.

• Abstracts, tables of contents, search results: Use your browser's Print function.

• High-Resolution figures: JPEGView for Macintosh or LViewPro for Windows.

Please see Help with Printing for more detailed information.
