TIR #2501 entered 2013-04-17 by Victoria Shields
In my citations queue, when I sort by Journal in the Display Options, most of the citations are sorted correctly and listed from A to Z according to the title of the journal they appear in, but for some topics, there is a second, shorter list, also sorted by A to Z, that appears after the first list.
I believe what's going on here is that we were told to sort by journal title and display journal title abbreviation (for example, Br J Radiol is sorting under "T" for "The British journal of radiology"). Can you check the journal titles of the ones you're looking at to verify whether this is true?
I checked the Web sites of several of the journals and most of them do have "the" before the title. This is true for Lancet Oncology, New England Journal of Medicine, and Journal of Urology, which were all showing up at the end of several of the lists. One exception seems to be British Journal of Urology, which does not have "the" before its title on its site, but it must be on whatever list is used to determine the order.
What we're using for the title is coming from NLM. You can see their titles using the following procedure:
1. Go to Pubmed and look at any article.
2. Click the abbreviated journal title in the brief citation near the
upper left.
3. Select NLM Catalog.
It looks like this issue is outside our control, so I'm marking it won't fix.
