How to Save Search Histories and Create Alerts
You can save a search history locally to your own computer, network or the Thomson ISI server. A locally saved history can be opened and run against updates to the data. Server Save allows you to set alerts and easily open and manage your search histories. This process can be used for both General (author, topic, source or address) and Cited Reference searches.
To save a search to the Thomson ISI server, follow these steps:
- Sign in to ISI Web of Knowledge via the link on the ISI Web of Knowledge homepage. Note: If you have not signed in you will be prompted to do so when you attempt to save your search history.
- Enter and execute the search query or queries you would like to save
- Go to the Combine Searches page or the Advanced Search page
- Click the Save History button.
- Enter a History Name and Description (optional), then click Save. This is where you can also set an alert and modify the alert settings from this page.
- After reviewing the Server Save Confirmation, click Done.
