Apparently if you ask Ovid they will increase the number of results you can download at one time, but I don't know if this will impact HDAS, which sadly is not set up for systematic reviews - they need to make the RIS files download abstracts as well for an SR, I think.

I end up downloading 200 at a time and copy/pasting them most of the time I'm doing this kind of search. It does take forever, and it would be great if downloading and also the clipboard could hold more than 200-300 results at a time.

Best,

Genny

Subject: Re: Saving over 200 results on HDAS

I don't know the answer to this but I do find that I, too, often need to download large numbers of results. Our users often do systematic reviews (though not for Cochrane). Maybe this is something that could be considered for development? Not every searcher wants just a few specially selected results.

Subject: Saving over 200 results on HDAS

I've been having problems saving 348 results on HDAS. Even when I try to save them in two sections I keep getting timed out on IE7 and Google Chrome. Apart from copying page by page from the results list (copying over 30 pages takes forever) does anyone have any suggestions?

The reason why I need to save such a large number of results is because it's needed for a systematic review on Cochrane. The search consists of nearly 70 lines and has to be done on Embase and Medline and I keep getting error messages. I do manage to recover the search but it's taking an awfully long time. Not to mention the fact that the researcher keeps coming up with new search terms ...I'm slowly losing the will to live...
