Hi there,
This is posted on behalf on a colleague, can anyone with experience of Procite help? Please reply to me and I will forward helpful suggestions.
Regards, Stuart.
Here's the problem:
ProCite is crashing when I try to import certain searches from Embase [using Dialog].
I have been exporting my embase searches in two ways:
a) by using the select all button (which you have to tick on EACH of the pages of search results - very tedious!) and then saving in batches of 1000 (it often stalled when I tried to do larger saves).
or
b) by sending the search results by email, and not having to tick anything. Very much more simple, however messages with large searches attached to them do not come through for some reason but smaller ones do. So for large searches I have to resort to a) (very very tedious)
To try and narrow down the problem and because I had noticed a change on the website in the way that the select all function operated, we did a test run by:
a) ticking each individual box on a page showing 100 search results
b) ticking the select all button on the same page.
a) imported fine, b) did not! So it seems that it is something to do with the way Embase "selects all" or bundles the results when it sends them by email?
any advice?
