EXCLUDE PATENT REFERENCES

How do I exclude patent references from my results?

If you are doing a literature search, just filter the results:

If you are doing a structure search:

Filter to include only articles: Click to view hit data:

“Hit data” now enables you to view only data from articles….or data from articles and patents.

Articles only

Articles and patents

If you are doing a reaction search:

Results contain both articles and patents

Filter:

After filtering, the results still look the same as above with a mix of articles and patents. However, reactions that appear only in patents (not in both articles and patents) have been removed from the list. So now the results show:

19

To view these 19 reactions, you can click the “Citations” tab and view the relevant reactions from each article :

Or you can export the list, selecting “Hit Data Only” :

Then you will have a document with the article references and the relevant reactions from each article.
