  • Select Journals Term List.
  • Click the Lists, select Journals, then click the Import button.
  • Select Medical (or whatever matches your subject area) and click the Open button.
  • Click OK when the importation is complete, then Close to close the Term Lists window.
  • Now all of your journals can be matched to the style you need.
