The Web of Science platform requires a paid subscription. You may have an online subscription with username and password, or you may have access to a local Web of Science platform server.
If you used a previous version of EndNote, many of your preferences were saved when you upgraded to EndNote . However, if you want the ability to link back to Web of Science Core Collection records and product databases, you may need to update the Base URL.
From the EndNoteEdit menu, select Preferences.
Click the EndNote Defaults button to update to the latest Base URL.
You must use Web of Science version 5.0 or later. To access your local Web of Science server, first contact your network administrator for the server address (URL) plus the path to your institution’s copy of the ISI Gateway V2.5 software.
To search a locally mounted Web of Science platform server, open the appropriate Web of Science connection file, click on Connection Settings and update the Server Address and Custom fields with your local server address and ISI Gateway software path.
To link back to Web of Science Core Collection records once they are in EndNote, you must change the Base URL to your local server address.
From the EndNoteEdit menu, select Preferences.

Enter your local server address in the Open URLs field.
When searching a Web of Science product database (for example, the CABI or MEDLINE), always add a connector to names that contains particles and spaces. For example, to search for de Bruyn A, enter the name in the Search field as de+Bruyn+A to ensure that the product returns all relevant results.
To search for de la Rosa, enter the name in the Search field as de+la+Rosa. You can also add a first name to restrict your search, but do not add a connector between the first name and the last name. For example, to search for Mario de la Rosa, enter in the Search field Mario de+la+Rosa.
