A lt f miscellaneus titles will cme t the tp f the clumn. Often I d nt add cited references t the serials decisin database unless there are 5 r mre references. I tend t delete titles that start with numbers. 2. These abbreviatins are less than perfect after the first subttal, further editing f the list may be useful and then subttal again. 3. There is a space in frnt f every title. These shuld be remved befre merging with ther files. This step is nt necessary if subttaling is the last step.

Srt by Clumn A Delete all rws with data in clumn B nly (at bttm f spreadsheet) Remve bld; Find replace COUNT Matching Abbreviatins with full title The Web f Science lists include full title when it is an authred paper and abbreviated title when it is a cited reference. Merging this data int the serials decisin database will be dne using the Merge Macr https://research.wsulibs.wsu.edu:8443/jspui/handle/2376/1109 r attached t the Research Exchange recrd called Prcedures fr creating a serials decisin database. Merging the referenced articles will include an extra step f matching the abbreviatin t the full title. This is a tedius prcess unless yu can find a list f titles and abbreviatins in a spreadsheet frmat. 1. G t ISI list f abbreviatins and full title http://images.isiknwledge.cm/wok45/help/wos/a_abrvjt.html 2. Cpy each letter results nt a spreadsheet - just include the titles and abbreviatins. Click n the screen, Cntrl A will highlight the page; Cntrl C will cpy the page. Cntrl V will paste the infrmatin nt a spreadsheet. Erase intrductry text. 3. Be sure t get the rw spacing cnsistent when yu add a next letter. When yu have cpied all letters nt ne wrksheet, DO NOT SORT. 4. Delete clumn A which shuld be empty. The remaining clumn shuld have the title left justified and the abbreviatins ne rw dwn, in bld with several spaces in frnt f it.
5. Highlight clumn. Cntrl F (Find). Type in 8 spaces. Replace - type in 8 spaces and. Replace All 6. Highlight Clumn A. DATE - TEXT TO COLUMNS - DELIMITED - Other - - NEXT - FINISH 7. All abbreviatins shuld have mved t clumn B. 8. Delete the first tw cells in Clumn B - Shift cells up. All full titles and abbreviatins shuld be n the same line. Srt by full title and this will remve all f the spaces. 9. Smetime blanks will appear at the tp f the spreadsheet. Delete blank lines - Data much further dwn the spreadsheet. 10. Use the MERGE MACRO t match abbreviatins t full title. Be especially careful f series titles such as "Lecture ntes". This will appear multiple times and yu may need t merge these duplicates by hand and remve frm the Merge Macr prcess. 11. The cited reference can nw be merged int the serials decisin database by full title.
