How can I get bibliometric numbers from Web of Science?
I need bibliometri numbers (Citations and h-index) from Web of Science --- this is urgent for a grant application that requires using Web of Science. Stockholm University Library has a link to it:
http://su.se/biblioteket/forskarstöd/bibliometri/mätverktyg-för-bibliometri#webofscience
But then, I can't register into the Web of Science, even while logged into the SU library services with my SU account.
The above page has a link to Web of Science, which opens with error:
http://login.webofknowledge.com/error/Error?Pat...
There, it is not possible to register.
There is only:
- Sign In
- and a pulled down menu to select "institution's group or regional affiliation", but I do not know what it is.

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
You do not need to create a personal user name in order to have access to the Web of Science database or to create lists of your own citations. You do however need to be logged in through the library or the university network to get access to the data. Here's some instructions:
To create a personal citation report
Once you have access to the database, it is fairly easy to search for entries with your name and to extract an excel file with the results. There are several methods to search for information, but I'll try to explain one:
I've made a quick guide with screen shots, which can be found as an attached file to this response.
Please let us know if you can use these instructions, or if you still have problems getting access to the database or downloading your personal citation analysis.
Good luck with the application!
Kind regards,
Sofie.

Hi, I have a similar problem. When I follow the links to the databases, even when I am logged in to the library, I only reach the log in page of WiS or Scopus. I have no access to the databases.
What am I doing wrong?
I englose print screens of the webpages I am landing at after clicking at the links at the library webpage.
Kind regards,

Hi,
It is hard to know exactly what the problem is. Are you using the database from home, or at the university? What kind of computer are you using? Which type of browser are you using?
You could try to login with the proxy bookmarklet see instructions here: http://su.se/english/library/search-use/remote-.... Just go to the Scopus website and then when the login request comes up, use the bookmarklet in your browser which should redirect you to the university login page that would give you access.
Let us know if this still doesn't work, and we can have a look at it again.
Kind regards,
Hello,
apparently, this problem still appears 4 years later :-)
I'm sitting in my office, connected to the SU network, logged in to my library account and I still get asked for a login when accessing Web of Science. I actually tried signing in with my SU email but then I get this error. What can I do?
Sorry to hear you are having problems. Have you a) tried the institutional login? b) cleared cookies in your browser?
Kind regards,
Hello,
thank you for reaching out.
Regarding a) - the institutional login is a drop-down list that doesn't appear to include any Swedish institutions/networks. (see attached)
And, yes, I have cleared cookies. (and tried other browsers)
What else can I try?
You should not need to sign in at all. Are you connected to the SU network via wire now? If so, disconnect and try to access via the wireless network. Go to the library page - databases and pick Web of Science.
Let us know if that works better!
Best wishes,
yes, I typically use the LAN connection when on campus. Actually, it did work when I switched to the SU wi-fi, thanks!
That said, I have to add that it's:
a) inconvenient
b) hard for me to comprehend
that the access would work on wireless but no on cable connection. Could this be fixed in the near future?
Best,
I guess the problem here is the specific IP number that you use when connected on campus. SU have many different IP-ranges and they are often changed - we who have the contact with the vendors do our best to keep them updated. I guess a different solution by SU-IT-centrally would make this better, but it is not anything we at the Library licensing team can change.
Is it possible to get access to WoS if I am working with my new laptop and in another country? I am drafting a grant application that requires bibliometric data from WoS and I have tried to find a solution, but I have not been capable. Now the deadline is very close, so I would be grateful if you could reach me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Please try to access WoS via our remote access, but our license agreement only cover access in Sweden. Some resources are available abroad anyway, but that is not something we can guarantee.
Thank you for your answer. As you said, I could access WoS via the Library's website, but I couldn't check InCites and Journal of Citation Reports, which contain the information requested in the application.
There should be no problem to use Journal Citation Reports from abroad via you SU-account. But we do not have access to InCites. Have you tried to use another computer? If there is a techical problem at your side. However, if it is Journal Impact Factors that you need we maybe can help you direct.
Thank you for your answer. A friend provided me with the metrics needed, so the problem is solved.
Best,
