For example, if I search the title “Alkbh1 and Tzfp repress a non-repeat piRNA cluster in pachytene spermatocytes”, Endnote will not return the article. (see attachment)
Does anybody know what is wrong with Endnote?
You haven’t “clicked on” PubMed. – this error occurs whenever you forget to choose a source. - I would prefer that Endnote remembered or allowed a “default” selection for online searches.
The previous one is not a good example.
Please try search “The microRNA miR-181 is a critical cellular metabolic rheostat essential for NKT cell ontogenesis and lymphocyte development and homeostasis”. The screenshot shows that no reference is found.
But if I search for “a critical cellular metabolic”. Then I am able to find the reference.
Could you try both search terms and see if you get the same results?
I can duplicate it. I never search for the whole title though. – seems that it might be a problem with the way PubMed interprets the search field thru the Z interface. I suspect too many “block words” like “the, is, a” and it fails. If you delete some of them the search works. A situation of probably TMI! (too much information)
When I search the whole title at pubmed, I am able to find the reference. Is there a difference between the interface of pubmed that Endnote uses and the search box at the following URL. Is there a way to ask Endnote consider improving its search function by allowing the same kind of search available at the following URL?
I think it has to do with the way Pubmed interfaces with the Z39.50 Software interface that the connection files use. I don’t think endnote developers can make those kind of changes.
