Common problems:

• The link in the URL-field points to a database that I cannot access

Normally the links in the URL-field point to references in ISI Web of Knowledge. Only users with an authorized IP-address have access to ISI Web of Knowledge. A condition is that you, or the institution you work for, subscribes to ISI Web of Knowledge. Additionally, you have to access the database from an authorized IP-address. This means that you have to visit the database's web pages, from a computer that is connected to the network that subscribes to ISI Web of Knowledge. Your computer has to be recognized and authenticated first. This means that in order to access the database you have to:

First visit ISI Web of Knowledge > If your IP-address is successfully recognized, you will be authenticated > Go back to TvangsPub > Go back to the reference you want to access in ISI Web of Knowledge > Click at the link provided in the URL-field > You will gain access to the reference in ISI Web of Knowledge

Note: This procedure will not work if your IP-address is not recognized. Your IP-address can only be recognized if it is part of a network that subscribes to ISI Web of Knowledge. This database can be licensed to institutions such as universities and other research centers.
