Managing Results

Search Tip # 9: Hold Citations
To collect citations during a search session, check the ones you want to keep from your search results, then click Hold Citations. Click the tab Held Citations to view your collection. You may then Display Abstracts, List, Print, Download or E-mail all or part of your collection.

Until recently, you could only view or save the citations you retrieved after every separate search. There was no way to gather all your results in one place, and hold them there until you were ready to view them as a collection.

Now you can do this, by using ICL’s new Hold Citations feature. While viewing a results screen, simply select the citations you want to keep, and then click >Hold Citations. When you want to view your collection, click >Held Citations. If you decide you want to delete some, simply select them and click >Remove Citations.

The collection will last as long as you are connected to ICL, and you can Print, E-mail or Download your citations. You may download your collection into personal bibliographic managers such as Reference Manager, Pro-Cite, EndNote and Refworks. For Refworks, select the ICL filter. For the others, select the NLM PubMed filter.
