How can I install isi-rb?
There are three different ways to install isi.rb.
I. Simple way
Installing this package is as simple as:
$ ruby setup.rb
II. RubyGems users can take an easy way
There is an easier way, if you are a RubyGems user:
$ gem install isi-rb
III. Another simple way; just copy isi.rb
Just copy isi.rb into your working directory which contains your saved “Marked List”, e.g. savedrecs.txt.
$ cp lib/isi.rb ~/your/working/directory/
$ cd ~/your/working/directory/
$ ruby isi.rb savedrecs1.txt savedrecs2.txt
$ ruby isi.rb < savedrecs.txt > savedrecs.bib
Lsat two lines are examples of usage for this installation way.
How can I use it?
Save the marked records to an output file in ISI Web of Science
Mark the articles in ISI Web of Science. Then, view and save the marked records to an output file (savedrecs.txt). I recommend to check “Author(s)”, “Title”, “Source”, “abstract*”, “keywords” and “source abbreviation” as the fields to include in the output file.
Here are some examples
% isi2bibtex savedrecs.txt
% isi2bibtex savedrecs1.txt savedrecs2.txt > savedrecs.bib
% isi2bibtex < savedrecs.txt > savedrecs.bib
% cat savedrecs.txt | isi2bibtex > savedrecs.bib
You can use isi-rb as a library.

Who is the author?
NISHIMATSU Takeshi <t-nissieatimr.tohoku.ac.jp>
Why did he write it?
Because he do not like the output format of the Perl version.
Is there a Perl version?
Yes. You can find the Perl version by Jonathan Swinton, Ben Bolker, Anthony Stone, John J. Lee in CTAN www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/isi2bibtex .
I do not like the output format of isi-rb, neither!
The output format is defined in the source code WYSIWYGly. So you can change by yourself easily.
