6.2.4 List view (right)

The list on the right displays queries similar to the queries that you enter on the other pages, but presented in a condensed format. Queries can be moved between folders by dragging and dropping them with the mouse. They can also be copied (Ctrl+C), cut (Ctrl+X), and pasted (Ctrl+V).

The screenshot below shows the full results of the queries for ISI listed Accounting journals shown in the Multi-query centre tree view in the previous screenshot. Please note that the results can be sorted on any column: simply click on the column heading. By default the queries are sorted in the order in which they were executed. The list below has been sorted by h-index.
