Subject: citing Abstracts Is there a way to program endnotes 4 so I can cite (and import) abstracts? I have the APA style manual and so have I know what to include but I haven't figured out how to ad a source type to the list.

I hated editing citations by hand (which way does that slash go again?) and having to format the document all the time. Spell checking is pretty useless. The CWYW interface could use some work. I hate the lookup feature. I switch to endnote and type the first letters of the author I want and usually find reference much more easily. I also wish there were a way to automatically enter the edit citation dialog when inserting a citation. And it **really** should have been written for Mac OS X!

He did not mention the issue of EndNote's maximum filesize (32MB/20-30K records) that dominates the thinking of so many users.

The URL is www.bgc.org and the link is "publications" To explain: one of the folks here gets a message when he tries to link that he needs to download a plug-in in order to open the link (which is an online bibliography running on a PC server - dedicated only to the server software, PWS, Win98, and the online biblio software Reference Web Poster). I thought that it might just be Netscape 4.7 - that it could not configure the file types involved but the same problem did not occur using 4.7 on a Mac. I should mention that I am aware that the icons are not loading (some quirk they are still trying to figure out at ISI) Thanks in advance.

The difference is that no busy signal immediately appears when one tries accessing the LC Catalog via EndNote. That said, if you are using the most recent version of the LC connection file (available via ftp download at ftp://ftp.endnote.com/pub/pc/connections/Library_of_Congress.enz [NOTE: Users of earlier versions of EndNote will want to update this connection file]) and you keep trying, you will eventually get in. I just tried it and finally got in the third or fourth time. If trying again and again to log in to the LC Catalog just gets too annoying, and you just want a quick cite, then try the comprehensive MELVYL online catalog of the University of California system: Two barbers, no waiting.

Hello Joel! I am not very good at that kind of procedures either, but I usually go to one of several reference databases such as ASFA, ISI, GOEBASE etc. to get my references. I save the references to file to the desktop and then uses the import function under "file" and choose the right import filter in the filters folder in the applications folder. Or, depending of what you have access to, you might be able to connect directly to a database if you have the appropriate connection in the connections folder. Myself, I have only been able to search directly from within Medline. I also think that it might be possible to save the references directly from where you download the articles, there usually is a box to the left of the article title etc. I recall I did that in EBSCO once, and then saved it to file as usual. Am am sure there are more efficient ways, but it is a start, and you usually get the abstract as well, so you don't have to type it all in.

Joel G. Cohn Mobile Phone 914-954-6077 You can find a list of databases and library catalog styles that have output filters on pages 120-125 of your EndNote 5 manual. Or from File, choose Import filters, then Open filter manager, to see a list. For example, all the OCLC FirstSearch databases have output filters. Ebsco, unfortunately, does not. It's possible someone out there has designed a custom filter for the Ebsco databases. Here's a hint if your library's catalog doesn't have an output filterand you have access to OCLC FirstSearch: Use the OCLC database WorldCat, which is like a catalog of all the OCLC-participant libraries around the world, and seach for the books you're using there, then download the citation through the WorldCat output filter. The most accurate way to do this search is to use the ISBN number in the Advanced Search mode under Standard Number -- that way you can be sure you get the exact edition of the book you have in hand. (Works great for cataloging your home or office library, too! I've edited the import filter to include the call number, since I like to keep my non-fiction in Dewey order.)

I understand that we can directly connect to PubMed to search for references. However, we sometimes search for references in the library using computers without Endnote. Is it possible to download multiple pages of selected references in PubMed and then import them to Endnote? Thank you in advance. Felix Li Hong Kong

Don't know if you already got an answer don't know if this would do this trick but...I found this in the Endnote Help while looking for a solution to another problem and thought of you. Citing Specific Page Numbers in Footnotes Sometimes when citing full references in footnotes, you might want to include specific page numbers with the formatted reference. EndNote provides a way to do this where the page numbers that you type into a temporary citation can be manipulated by the EndNote style just like a field in your EndNote reference. This way, you can add specific pages to the temporary citation, and have the EndNote style include the wherever they need to be in the formatted citation. The style can also apply special pages formatting, like deciding whether to add "p." or "pp." before the page numbers, and how to list the range of pages. To include specific page numbers to reference in a footnote, simply enter the page number preceded by "@" at the end of the temporary citation: [Smith, 1999 #24 @145-6] Everything that follows the @ symbol (up to the next space) is considered to be the "Cited Pages." The EndNote style used to format the paper must also be configured to use "Cited Pages" in the footnote template. Most EndNote styles that require a special format for citations in footnotes are configured this way. When EndNote formats the citation, the cited pages ("145-6" in the example above) will be inserted in the correct location and formatted as appropriate to the style.

Endnote also has a total size limit, so if you did this a lot, (if you could overcome the limit) it might not serve you in the long run.  We get around this by using the url field to link to files (usually PDFs) containing the work.  It means you have to move the directory where they reside with the library.  Even better, if you make the files intranet/internet (check copywrite on the material) accessible, anyone in your organization/world can access the information.

Dear EndNote Colleagues; Do any of you know of the most proper way to either enter or modify output templates to correctly handle hypenated first names of authors? For example, authors names like Wann, Chia-Ching and Jiang, Shiuh-Jen normally get converted by EndNote to: Wann, C.-C. & Jiang, S.-J., 1997. Determination of vanadium species in water samples by liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Anal. Chim. Acta, 357:3:211, <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TF4-3ST1SH4-27/1/98ffd977116 7c1d2db3804242f2beafc> . It would seem to me to be more proper to me to present the names either as single letters (eg. C. or S.) or single entities with hyphens (eg. C-C. or S-J.). However, this is possibly a cross-cultural bias or lack of understanding situation, and I would appreciate input from my international or other experienced colleagues on the best way to handle such names. I don't have good examples from journals in which I've recently published, other than one that used the single letter abbreviation. I could not find a way to get EndNote to do that, but I may be missing something simple. Thanks in advance for your help. Michael R.

You could try using a hard hyphen, which Endnote would not recognize as an ordinary one. I'm not sure how to do it on a non-Mac; on a Mac, it may be command-hyphen or something (it might depend on the program).

I've just taken posession on a new C-Pen, Bought at www.pcconnection.com. Spent last night installing and playing around. Little to report except that it appears to be very nicely designed product. And, based on my first few attempts does a fine job scanning. I read a review of the product at www.cnet.com and the reviewer was quite pleased. Said that after he got the techniqe down, he hit 95% accuracy. BTW some old reviews and the like fault the product because you can only transfer data via infra red. No longer true. My C-Pen allows my to 1) "write" directly into a document, 2) Store enormous amounts of info the later send the text to my pc via serial port or infra read. Cary Cary E.

There will always be corrections from scanning. It will never be perfect. As I said about my use of one, it seemed better (for me) for scanning references from books. If you want to sit and scan line for line a bunch of text, it is a bit more tedious, but will work. For mac users, i would not buy one unless you had a pda you could also beam to if the computer beaming isnt working. I have mixed results with beaming to my laptop (powerbook G3), so sometimes I beam to pda and then to from pda. I hope this is not too confusing.

Hi Yo'av, if you like to export an endnote style change to your endnote directory (normally c:\programs\endnote) choose the style directory. There you will find a file with the name of your style, you can send it to anybody else who needs to copy it to the same folder. If you like to copy your user preferences of endnote, start regedit with the commandline in the start men=FC, find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ISI ResearchSoft. Go to "Registry" menu and export the choosen key to a file. Anybody who has the same windowssystem than you may now import your preferences by doubleclicking on the produced reg-file.

Thanks for the help in sorting out the Cited Pages problem. Now another one - sometimes my 'Cited Page' is a phrase rather than a page number, i.e. '@ DR1200 in reply to Jan 1939 Directive'. Endnote doesn't mind this but for some weird reason it takes out the '1' from 1939 when it formats. I don't think it's to do with the length because I use some longer phrases without problem. Any ideas? Catherine Horwood Royal Holloway, University of London

I am as compulsive as anyone, and I admit that the gaps in record numbering that result from deleting references from an Endnote library assail my sense of order. It helps me to realize, however, that these numbers are mainly intended for Endnote's internal use and, as far as I know, no real purpose (other than satisfying a user's sense of order) is served by closing the gaps. I don't know what the highest number allowed by the software is, but I expect that it is far beyond most anyone's need. So, even with the gaps, there should be plenty of numbers available for new references. It may also help to remember that giving new references old, no longer used record numbers would result in loss of the ability to determine the order in which references were added. This information can be useful at times. For instance, if you discover that you have inadvertently added duplicate references to your library, you might wish to delete the newest one (that is, the one with the highest record number) in order to avoid creating orphan citations in your documents (i.e., citations for which the record numbers are no longer valid). Also, there are times when I have sorted my library by record number in descending order, which places my most recently added references at the top of the list. This would not be possible if Endnote filled in the record number gaps.

I also use the trick of ordering by record number. That way if a colleague and I are working a manuscript and we are sharing libraries, I can quickly check what they have added recently.

Hi Greg, I know no easy solution for your problem. But more easy than changing all by hand is to export your references with a style like "show all" and than to produce an importfilter for the resulting file. There you can define the normal import type. Unfortunately, all font formats like italics or bold will be lost, because you save the the file in ascii format.

You can set up a term list for any field in your references. With EndNote 5 you do it like this: Open the library. Click on Terms>Define Lists When the dialogue box opens, click on the Create button. Give the list a name, e.g. City, and click OK. Click OK to close the Define Lists dialogue box. Click on Terms>Link Lists When the dialogue box opens, arrow down until you see the required field in the left-hand column (e.g. Place Published). In the right-hand column (Linked Term List) select the term list you have just created. Click OK. Click on Terms>Open List, then select the new list to open it. Click on Terms>Update List and you will be able to add all the existing data in your library to this list.

However, sometimes people reply to specific things in the digest but don't bother to change the subject line. I've included an example below. Could people please be more careful and change the subject line to something more meaningful than "RE: endnote-interest-digest V1 #1038" before sending replies? Some people keep the subject line for a reply inserted by their mailer and then add the true subject at the end. I think this is also undesirable. The business about replying to the endnote-interest-digest is totally uninformative and should be replaced with the true subject. To help thread discussions, the subject in the original mail item (not the digest) should be used. This way the subject lines will be much more informative and helpful for those of us who, usually to save time, read messages dealing with specific subjects. Thanks.

Sure import one library into the other, discarding duplicates. (do it on a copy, adjust duplicate screening to be sensitive, but not exact enough to tolerate differences in sources). This WILL mess up the endnote record numbers for each library except for the one you are importing into.

Hi all ! I found an article that end note can be used to organize nearly every stuff that can be listed (like tables, figures etc.) my question is, if anybody has experience in organizing chemical structures using EN5 ? can a reference library be organized in a way that in a word document a) the stuff is correctly numbered and b) also (when necessary) the according structure (as an OLE(?) file from ISIS/Draw or ChemDraw) is displayed in the word file ? thanks in advance, andreas

When I removed the specific munged citation Endnote was fine. My version of this problem appeared to be caused by specific data corruption (I suspect global edits having unintended side-effects) & could only be fixed by locating the corrupt citation(s) & redoing. Fortunately I have been using separate documents for each chapter (within one larger master document) so was able to locate the problem relatively quickly. It would be very nice if Endnote could identify the specific point at which it was having a problem; save a lot of "divide & conquer" work.

Author: Sharilyn Steketee    Posted: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 09:11:56 -0500
I am using Endnote for a dissertation for one of my professors. Because the chapters are graphic intensive and already huge, I am keeping them as separate files. To generate the bibliography, I am using one of my custom fields in Endnote to indicate which cites are in the Thesis. Then to generate copies of the bib, I just do a search, select all the found citations, copy as formatted (after selecting/editing the appropriate out-put style), and paste into the Word document. I have used this successfully for drafts and proofing copies. I expect it will work fine for the final draft. I've only been working with this program since late December, but I think this would be another solution to the question raised. Any of you more experienced users, let me know if you see any problems. Thanks. I have not been inserting cites as type, since I am part of the process, and at this stage it just needs to get done and starting with inserting unformatted citations would have been great at the beginning, but not now. Next time ...

In reply to: ===== Someone already explained, but I'll do so anyway. It's not anything specific to the Word and Endnote combination, but rather to Word's master doc functionality itself, which is designed and implemented in such a way that (at least from the testimony of people I trust) is likely to result in corrupted docs. In other words: it's hugely buggy. Word has no problem with docs of dissertation length, so why bother with master docs? Bruce ====== My own experience has been that Word does not do well with documents of dissertation length. This may be because my dissertation is just very long (160 pages & lots of illos) or whatever. I've been forced to use master docs, which are buggy, simply to improve performance on each part & to isolate to just one part the damage from Word failures.

In response to: ====== John, I am curious about your experience with long documents in MS Word and would like to know more. How is it that Word did not work well with a single long document? Was it owing the size of the document with illustrations? Did saving take a long time? Was it difficult to scroll the document? Did you show the illustrations or use placeholders? Did the problems occur in normal view also or only in layout (WYSIWYG) view? Thanks for your assistance. Paul Falzer ====== Word 98 had a lot of problems with my long dissertation (which includes several hundred equations as well as about 40 illustrations): long saves (10+ minutes), frequent crashes, occasional file corruption followed by refusal to save!, and general sloth. Scrolling was ok. Problems were not view dependent. I do not use placeholders. Upgrading to Word for Mac OSX helped: it reduced the save times & reduced the frequency of crashes (to only 3 or so times/day) & of file corruption. I think the fundamental problem is that Word is not a well-built product: individual features work ok, but when you start to use a lot of features together, i.e. footnotes + equations + illustrations, it starts to fail a lot.

This may be because my dissertation is just very long (160 pages & lots of illos) or whatever. I've been forced to use master docs, which are buggy, simply to improve performance on each part & to isolate to just one part the damage from Word failures." and questions by Paul Falzer: "John, I am curious about your experience with long documents in MS Word and would like to know more. How is it that Word did not work well with a single long document? Was it owing the size of the document with illustrations? Did saving take a long time? Was it difficult to scroll the document? Did you show the illustrations or use placeholders? Did the problems occur in normal view also or only in layout (WYSIWYG) view?" I have also had major problems with Word in formatting large documents (research grants) that contained graphs, and tables. The need to create a single document had to do with the final formatting of Endnote references and biblio creation, but also with the convenience of having everything in one file. I had tried creating a master document to format everything and it worked, but it meant extra work and even more files. My answers to the questions by Paul would be: How is it that Word did not work well with a single long document? Was it owing the size of the document with illustrations? YES, SIZE, TABLES, FIGURES AND THE DELETED FRAGMENTS TAKING UP MEMORY BECAUSE I WAS REQUIRED TO TRACK CHANGES. (WORD DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE OPTION OF ACCEPTING CHANGES THAT ARE DELETED WHILE KEEPING TRACKED THOSE THAT INVOLVE INSERTIONS) Did saving take a long time? Was it difficult to scroll the document? YES TO BOTH. Did you show the illustrations or use placeholders? PLACEHOLDERS SAVED TIME. Did the problems occur in normal view also or only in layout (WYSIWYG) view?" IT WAS MORE SERIOUS IN PAGE LAYOUT. In my most recent submission I deviced a solution that included: 1) a more powerful computer with enough memory, 2) Using placeholders, and normal view, 3) a protocol of always saving a copy of the document *before* formatting references with Endnote, 4) accepting *manually* all changes that involved deletions (sometimes you can see "phantom" tables and figures, that need to be re-deleted and then the deletion accepted) Hope this helps people, Best, Claudio O.

It seems that curley quotes (Microsoft Word calls them 'smart quotes.') are causing people a bit of consternation. The following is one way to deal with them effectively: 1. Make sure autocorrect is turned on (Click on Tools, then AutoCorrect, then AutoFormat. Make sure the appropriate box is checked, and if it isn't, check it, then click OK. 2. Press Ctrl+H (for find and replace). In the first box, type in a single quotation mark, and in the second box repeat that. Click Replace All. 3. Do the same for the double quotation mark. 4. If you have any of the '`' [left quotation marks; the symbol below the tilde on most keyboards] marks that some people use as left quotation marks, repeat for those mark as well. When you are done, you will have all curley quotes. [If you had a file with a mix of some curley and some straight quotation marks, all will be curley at the end of the Replace procedure(s).] 5. If you wish to put this on a macro, so you can call it routinely by some easy-to-remember-not-otherwise-used key, it is easy to do so. It may seem a dangerous thing to use that Replace All button, but in normal text from many different sources in my experience, mistakes are very rare and easy to catch and correct. (If anyone discovers any serious difficulties, I'd appreciate seeing them reported to me or to the list.) Hope this helps Regards, Lynn Thomas

If you are importing the records for the items you are cataloging from one of the databases your library subscribes to, you can customize the output filter to place the subject headings or keywords from that database in the keyword field in EndNotes. I've done this with OCLC WorldCat so I can get the Library of Congress subject headings for the books I use. It's not ideal if you are using items from several different databases that use different lists of subject headings or keywords, but you can go in and do some clean-up later. Your other option might be to contact your librarians and see if they can point you to the Library of Congress subject headings books and give you a quick lesson in using them (they're pretty formidable, though). The Sears list of subject headings is shorter and simpler and designed for children's books, but may be adaptable for your needs. And back in the day when searching databases cost enormous amounts per minute, some databases issued books of their "controlled vocabulary" -- ask your librarian if any of these exist for the fields you're working in. As I understand it, people at indexing companies like H.W. Wilson still have controlled vocabularies that they use internally -- but they probably look a lot like the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).

For every article I write, I usually restrict myself to use one endnote library. Sometimes, I do cross-reference between two or even three libraries, but in the end I will copy all the references to one library in order to avoid confusion (Of course, all the citations will be taken just from that library). However, when I look at "library used" in the pull-down menu "tool" (I am using Microsoft Word add-in), more than one library are shown. When I try to format the manuscript with just one library opened, it works with no problem. Is there any way to fix this bug? It doesn't interfere with the actual writing just make one uncomfortable how many libraries one has used!!! This is important when I am on the go when I am not certain how many endnote files I should carry around with a certain manuscript that I am working with. All helps will be greatly appreciated.

Don't do it! Use one library. Otherwise you are duplicating everything multiple times! How do you find a reference you want to reuse in the next paper, if it could be in one of a large number of libraries? Keep re-downloading? It is so much simpler to always use a single library, or maybe two. And, anyway with traveling library facility (endnote5), especially after it is tweaked in Endnote 6, you won't have to really worry about which library to take with you. It has what you are essentially doing manually - "attached" so to speak.

I also found the reformatting of all previously edited and "fixed" citations a headache. It would be a great improvement if you could have the option of only formatting all UN-formatted citations. And as far as the footnotes go, if the fields to be included in the "short" form for the repeated citation could be edited that would solve many odd work-arounds. We needed to have the author/year appear in the repeated footnote cites -- and you either have include cited pages (which is what I ended up doing) and manually insert the @ sign and the year when you find them, or you can put the year in the short title field in the record, as the "short" entry only incudes author and pp. But either way, you have to manually find all the repeats -- and if you add one ... well you get my drift. In this instance, once they are edited reformatting doesn't disturb things -- but I did find it cumbersome. -- Sharilyn Steketee, Faculty Assistant Harvard Business School /> >I've taken to highlighting thes type of references in blue so that I can >easily find them to manually reformat them.

Dear Karen, I have tried to re-create the question that you asked. So I edited a few citations and everything stays just on the place it should. :-))) So I wondered what might me the difference:"Why does EN the job well at my place and not when you try to? Perhaps it is a misunderstanding between working in EN4 en EN5: - In EN4 editing is done directly in the text, as it is, in your Word-doc. - In EN5 working this way, gives the effect you described: every time EN kicks in -> alle goes back to as it was. - In EN5 this is done a slightly different. Place the cursor on the citation you want to edit - right-mouseklick for the EN-menu (or choose the menu Extra-Endnote) select Edit Citation. Now you can make the changes you want and these will stay intact. NB I think the citation with the 'birds' and 'primates' in it, has to be done in 2 citations, because I think it is not possible to edit something in the middel of the citation. Hope this helps.

I had the same problems on my Mac and finally started over from scratch. I took the Word 2001 and trashed it. I also retained for primary use Word 98. In addition to this, I took all EndNotes prior to 5 and trashed them. ISI directed me to go back into the EndNote.com file and download the additional software to eliminate the Errors of Type X that I was experiencing. Everything works great now. I think the MS 2001 has a lot more problems than what they are saying...especially on a Mac!

Great ideas, Marshall! I'd also like to see the record types for electronic sources expanded -- there just aren't quite enough options. And I'd really like it if there was some way to enter multiple chapters from the same anthology easily. It's a pain to have to re-enter the book title, editor, and so on, for several chapters from the same book when you're doing a bunch all at once. Janet Croft University of Oklahoma

A slightly easier way to do this is do make a reference of a dummy chapter (leaving open authors, chapter title, pages), then making a copy for each chapter you want, then fill in the three missing fields afterwards. EN5 manual p. 83-84, "Entering several articles from the same source". But it shouldn't be difficult for ISIResearchSoft to make a front end interface for this, looking like a table of contents for the book in question. The original wishlist was awesome - and mostly well considered! I would also like to have added the possibility of mixing responsability relations in the same field. An example: Authors Heckman, James J, Smith, Jeffrey, with the assistance of Clements, Nancy. Plus, of course, a) getting rid of the fragile record number, b) adding real relational database power (instead of the terms lists), c) removing settings from registry to a separate file (Windows), and d) a network version that permits writing.

Does anyone have suggestions for importing text files into Endnote? I have a number of wordperfect-format bibliograophies that I want to import, but am having difficulty reformatting them into something that EN will accept. I've spent time trying to concoct a filter that will recognize the various fields, but this seems very hard to do in a way that won't leave out some things or that will recognize everything essential. >From what I gather, I'm really trying to do something that EN wasn't made to, as it appears that EN is mainly useful as a database for references that come from known online sources, not from one's hard disk.

Well, if ISI is monitoring this list, and looking at suggestions, that would be wonderful. I've thought about "multiple sections from the same book" some more, and here is what I would like to see as the ideal solution: When you create or edit a record for a book section (or any other "section of a whole" type reference, like a journal article) and click the x to close it, the program will prompt you "Enter another section from the same work? Yes/No". If you choose yes, it fills in a template with everything except the section author, title, pages, and keywords. And this option should be able to be toggled on or off for each applicable reference style under Preferences. (This would make it very easy to build an index to your own journal collection, if you don't want to or can't find records to import from a commercial database.) Well, I can dream...but I think a lot of us would find this useful. Janet Croft University of Oklahoma

Hello, Check out your local public library...I'm sure they'll be happy to have you "affiliate" with them <grin>. And they may have subscriptions to electronic databases you can tap into for Endnote! Some databases may be on CD or via the Internet at the library but you can save results onto a diskette or email to yourself and depending on the supplier of the database you can use the appropriate Endnote filter. If you happen to be a resident of Georgia, through a consortium called GALILEO, public libraries (along with state and private colleges and technical institutes and public schools) make more than 100 electronic databases available to their card holders...not only inside the local branches, but also from homes or businesses via ISPs and passwords. PubMed (medical research, health topics including health economics and social issues in medicine) is a free database...and you can use Endnote Connect via your ISP to access that.. ERIC database (education) is also free at its main site http://ericir.syr.edu/Eric/ but it won't work with Endnote Connect... It says The ERIC database as offered on the AskERIC Web site does not comply with the Z39.50 connection protocol, and we are not aware of a freely-available online version of the database that supports the Z39.50 standard. EndNote and ProCite, popular bibliographic software programs, offer links to product support and services from the products' Website at: http://www.isiresearchsoft.com/ The EndNote Technical Support Page (http://www.isiresearchsoft.com/en/support/ensupport.asp) has links to various institutions that support EndNote. The URL for the library links is: http://www.isiresearchsoft.com/en/support/enlibraries.asp You may also be able to use Endnote with ERIC on CD- ROM; please check with your local library for what versions of ERIC on CD-ROM may be available, and whether that version is Endnote compliant. *********end of excerpt from AskERIC website********* The "abstract" of each ERIC record there might be compatible with the old ERIC(OCLC) filter (not the direct Export) because it uses complete words in field tags, but to match the AskERIC format, you'd have to left-justify each field tag in the filter template for it to work... I have to dash to a meeting but let me know if ERIC is a database of interest to youand I can modify the filter and ship it to you within a week... So don't give up on accessing databases yet <smile>.. virginia virginia benjamin univ. of georgia libraries athens, ga. 30602 Date sent: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 09:59:48 -0500 To: /> From: Dave Checkman /> Subject: Re: endnote-interest-digest V1 #1118 Send reply to: /> > >My understanding is that we as "ordinary citizens" don't really have any > >need to know the acronyms.

Regardless of how long ago you received your degree, your alma mater may allow you access. I have lifelong access to UoP where I earned one of my degrees. Homer Library at the University of Connecticut will allow you access, but to what extent I am not sure. I have started a database of libraries that allow free access, and since I attended UConn, I checked there first. www.dartmouth.edu has webpages with EndNote help, and I would not be surprised if other universities did as well.

Hi Dave, Looks like a lot of users have done a good job of answering the database provider question for me; I hope that helps. Public Libraries usually have some sort of database access, and I believe several universities will allow access to their databases if you just ask. Otherwise you can always try www.isinet.com -- I think they sell subscriptions to databases (even to individuals I think). good luck with that. j >>The question remains whether this would be sufficiently useful to warrant >>the necessary time and effort.

(Lengthy posting, stream of consciousness, full of historical details, nothing about how to solve problems using the software; readers are hereby warned.) I think there is a couple of issues here. One concerns the use of EndNote as a way of keeping your references straight, formatting bibliographies, etc. For this purpose, some of us have used and loved (and surely also hated) EndNote for many years, manually tapping in the refereence of every book or article we came across. This is the purpose for which the software was made by Niles, long before the World Wide Web was made generally accessible. The Web changed all that: First the libraries put their catalogues online, so we could browse them from our offices (and, later, from our homes). My "own" academic library in Trondheim had pooled its catalogue with many others in Norway. http://www.bibsys.no was (and still is) my favorite because I could even check out books there or order photocopies over the net as early as in 1992(?)! http://www.loc.gov and many, many others provide their information for free. However, it is only bibliographic information, usually no abstracts, usually no records at the article level. (But see the useful hints you have received from others, and a compilation of these might be the first step towards the overview you originally requested.) Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was among the first and largest providers of abstracts from scientific journals, circulated in weekly offprints of tables of contents of thousands of journals, and cleverly priced to presumably make a profit (or else they wouldn't be around any more, now bought by Thomson), and always with an interesting piece by Eugene Garfield, their legendary entrepreneur. Then they made diskettes, then a web based service. They (crucially!) added value by using people trained in each scientific field to make abstracts and classify articles according to a growing thesaurus of ISI Keywords Plus (add a suitable number of R-marks and T-marks and C-marks in there to get the idea of Intellectual Property Rights and the New Services Economy going to market). ISI is also famous because they cross-reference all the articles: A record in the ISI database is linked to all the records corresponding to the bibliographic references made by that article. Truly a web of science!! I believe ISI bought EndNote from Niles at a time when the competent people at Niles had just been through a conversion from DOS to Windows and discovered that they would get more out of their efforts in doing something else (this is a little guesswork; maybe ISI gave them an offer they couldn't refuse; others surely know this history better than me). ISI also currently owns the two strongest contenders, ProCite and Reference Manager. The search capability over the net had been added by Niles already (it was called EndLink then, and you had to buy it separately - for free if you bought it with EndNote), but it was a cumbersome tool for the specially interested. ISI has put much more effort into that (and the available sources on the net are infinitely greater now anyway). It is not an easy task! because of the many different standards for cataloguing libraries. Anyway, when ISI put their services on the net, it made sense to create stronger links to their referencing software as well, perhaps also to lead its users into a preference for the ISI services, because there are now contenders. In particular, many of the other services have direct access to the journals themselves in electronic format, increasingly available with libraries' subscription to the journals. So this is information available through EndNote (or other front ends, such as regular net browsers, which are often much more efficient - and I could happily repeat that!) in a well organized manner and a number of magnitudes larger in content. Library services revolutionized, but - alas - no project Gutenberg for free access to the journals of the world. Not even hoping this might help you; I FULLY sympathize with your well articulated need. :-) Håkon > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Checkman /> > Sent: 7. juni 2002 17:15 > To: /> > Subject: Re: endnote-interest-digest V1 #1119 > > > >The question remains whether this would be sufficiently > useful to warrant > >the necessary time and effort.

The conundrum of the curly quotes is closer to a solution! I and others on the list have earlier noted inconsistencies in how quotes were translated from EndNote to Word. Here is the news (at least, it didn't surface then): Windows (and I know nothing about Macs) has at least three characters for double quotes. The ones I have in mind are: straight double quotation mark, ANSI code 0034 left double quotation mark, ANSI code 0147 right double quotation mark, ANSI code 0148 The first one is also called straight and the other two curly. What do these look like? It depends a little on the font! Times Roman: 0034 looks straight, 0147 looks like a 66, 0148 looks like a 99; all are high up on the line. Arial: The three look the same! Well, almost. If you use a large font you will see that they look a bit like they do in Times Roman. This is easier to discover during normal use in Word than in EndNote. So in order to make EndNote output the curly quotes (66/99), edit EndNote in curly quotes. This includes the Output styles, where it appears that the default in the styles delivered from ISI ResearchSoft is to use straight quotes. It particularly includes the Output styles, which are the source of the largest number of quotes. How do you input the three different characters? In EndNote this is a little tricky. ANSI 0034 (straight) is input from the key marked with the double quotation mark (also used as a symbol for inches or seconds). It can also be input by proceding as follows: - - set NumLock on - - press the left Alt key and keep it pressed - - on the numerical keyboard (not the top row), tap 0034 (all four digits consecutively) - - release the Alt key. If your keyboard has some fancy remapping, this might not work. If you have a laptop where the numerical keyboard is embedded in the character keyboard, see the manual of your laptop on how to activate it. ANSI 0147 (looks like 66) is input using the second method above, only this time tapping 0147 instead of 0034. By now you should know how to input ANSI 0148. In Word it may be even a little trickier if you want to see the difference. Normally, the above procedure for EndNote should work, but expect surprises if either the function Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoFormat or the function Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoFormat As you Type has checked for Replace as you type -> Straight quotes with smart quotes. What these functions do is under some circumstances to remove one character (ANSI 0034) and replace it with another (ANSI 0147 or ANSI 0148). Microsoft calls this "smart". I have been told that the function AutoFormat as you type is not active when you paste, only when you type. Therefore, in order to change ANSI 0034 imported from EndNote to ANSI 0147 paired with ANSI 0148, I would have to run manually Format -> AutoFormat, making sure that the above function has been activated. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work consistently. This part of the conundrum is still unsolved. So a safe way of achieving what Cindy requested is to edit the Output style in question so that the correct quote characters are put in place. This will output curly quotes from EndNote, independently of any smart functions in Word or other word processors. Visual verification may be hard if you do this editing work with Arial, so change to Times Roman while editing the Output style (and remember all the templates). It doesn't affect the font of the output (except so-called formatted output, which is achieved using Ctrl+K). Also, remember that any quotes in the fields of the references are subject to this distinction (or confusion) between the three different quote characters. I leave it to others to sort out the single quotes (of which there are at least five, some of which double as accents in diacriticals; beware!). An almost correct ANSI table is in the EndNote manual. I hope this helps. It helped me. Håkon Håkon Finne http://www.sintef.no ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 18:08:10 -0400 From: "Kirking, Donna" /> Subject: Smart Quotes I've been reading the discussion on smart quotes in EndNote styles and wanted to give you a bit of information on why we do not use them when creating styles. Below are two sets of footnotes where the third footnote is a repeat of the source in the first footnote. The first set is using the standard Chicago 14thA style. The second set is using a Chicago 14thA style with smart quotes instead of straight quotes in the style. Note that in the repeated citation, EndNote does not "clean up" the comma preceding the page numbers when smart quotes are used. This is because EndNote recognizes only straight quotes as being quotation marks when it performs its "clean up search" for inappropriate punctuation around quotation marks. So if you choose to edit your style to use smart quotes instead of straight quotes, you will then have to manually edit your final paper when citations are repeated. It can be done, but it may cause more work in the long run. Instead of changing the style to use smart quotes we generally recommend you do a search-and-replace in Word to replace the straight quotes with smart quotes. Without smart quotes. 1. M.T.

Dave -- Unfortunately, EndNote doesn't help you gain access to the information in databases -- all it does is help you organize and use this information once you have it. Let me see if I can make this a little clearer. The library catalog, which is usually available for free access over the internet, lists the books and the journal volumes (but not the articles IN the journals)and other items like videos that the library owns. Some of the programs libraries use to create their catalogs can interact with EndNote so you can download references. You would probably need to check with the library you will be using. The library catalog online is equivalent to the old card catalog, but allows more sophisticated searching, and if it includes online sources like NetLibrary books, includes hyperlinks. Periodical databases are another story. In most cases, libraries pay big bucks for these, and the licenses they purchase limit who has access to them. For many databases, the price we pay is tied to how many users will have access. Many database vendors don't want anybody but current students, faculty, and staff to use them; if alumni can get access, the database vendors fear they might use them in a business setting insead of that business buying their own subscription. Some database vendors are more generous and allow wider access, but not many. But in most cases, if you can get in to a university library building (and some do restrict access), you can usually access the databases there. And if you can use your own laptop while you are there, then for some databases you might be able to load citations directly into EndNote. What state do you live in? As I and others have mentioned, some states provide free access to databases through their state library, paid with tax money. In Tennessee, for example, we had access to a number of Gale databases; you just needed to enter through your local library's site with a password you could obtain from the library for free. The college I worked for allowed the general public to get to these databases from our site (since our local public library didn't have a decent web site at the time). It's ususally easy to locate your state library's web site through your state's gateway site. And I've heard recently that Iceland is experimenting with making databases available to the public free for the whole country. I guess the folks at EndNote are assuming in their marketing that the people visiting their site will already know all this -- and maybe they need to take a step back and make it clearer. Janet Croft University of Oklahoma Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 19:41:05 -0400 From: Dave Checkman /> Subject: When All Else Fails, Still. I'm wending my way through the suggestions you all have offered. I'll report back on my discoveries. This is my first report. Several people mentioned that schools and public libraries might be a place to find databases I can use off-site and free of charge. Well, it depends on the *sort* of database. There's a distinction, I discovered, between a library's own online catalogue and the subscription databases it carries. My alma mater (The University of Chicago) and the state university here (University of Maryland) prohibit subscription database access, restricted to current faculty and students. Online catalogue access, on the other hand, operates differently. Is the university public or private? the U. of M. will let the public in, not the U. of C. On the subject of public libraries, my little, local public library is going to offer Ingenta on July 1. That's a subscription database (not the sort I really need, but it's a step). Finally, the granddaddy of all public libraries, The Library of Congress, says "no" to off-site use of its two subscription databases (OCLC FirstSearch and EUREKA): "The Library does not offer access to these services off-site, but they are widely available at public and academic libraries." Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The public can get into their online catalogue (I've got to do more searching there. So far, I've found books and not journal articles.) Now, I want to take a step back, to explain what this is all for and how I got started. When I read the description of EndNote on its web site and plunked down the cash, this is what I thought I would be able to do: As I mentioned previously, I'm trying to prepare some papers. Over a number of years now (wow, has it been that long?), I've accumulated hundreds of handwritten references I might use deposited in notebooks, on scraps of paper, whatever. References to journal articles and books, mainly. I need, obviously, to get them organized (at least grouped alphabetically by author and, how wonderful it would be, by topic) and put into correct citation formats. Now, here's what I THOUGHT EndNote would do. I would be able to access EndNote's appropriate databases (covering linguistics, philosophy, and social science in my case) -- EndNote's marketing speils nowhere mention anything about having to pay (or have your institution pay) for subscription databases. Once into a database, I would enter a search for one of my references, would type in an author's name or, say, the name, journal name, and article or book title. And, up would come a listing from which I could select the right one to "save". I would do that for each of my accumulated sources (okay, a lot of work, but ...). Next, I'd want to have all these selected references alphabetized (maybe also segmented by topic). I would end up with a single master/monster bibliography from which I could draw in constructing bibliographies for each of my papers. Each of these bibliographies would be "imported" into my document (I'm using Nisus) and the citations could be formatted to suite the paper's recipient. That's the kernel of the thing. So far, I'm not sure whether I've come to the right place (EndNote). And, I'm still at the getting-started stage, trying to find those initial databases to use. It all seems that it ought to be pretty simple to do. But, can I come anywhere near achieving this with EndNote? Dave ------------------------------

Suat Tuzgöl wrote the following in reply to an earlier posting. I have a suggestion which can be implemented in one of two ways. One is that ISI would add a place to its EndNote web site were uses could look up a style and find out what it's called -- sort of a catalog of import styles. The other is that such a catalog of styles would be compiled into a document included with EndNote (or downloadable as a pdf file).

Marsh, Your earlier responses, although not individually acknowledged, were appreciated. As is this one. It gives me a chance, if I may, to quote myself (in an off-list reply to a similar point): "Being out of the loop ain't all it's cracked up to be. I might say, though, that EndNote did take the rash step of promoting itself publically, to the "masses" one might say. Ah, if only it hadn't ventured out of 'Librarianship Today' and 'Institute Life'. Regards, Dave

I second John Byrne's sentiments. Regards, Lynn Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2002 02:40:12 -0400 From: "John C. Byrne" /> Subject: Do "we" still like the product? After reading the postings and examining the specifications for just released EN6 I am beginning to wonder if it is time to "move on" to another product? I use V.5.0.2 and have no real need to include pictures in my files, though it is nice, I do prefer to have flexibility of importing and exchanging data between programs as Word is not always the best or preferred tool. In any event, I would greatly appreciate an evaluation or comparison of EndNote - do we stay or do we look elsewhere? Best regards, John
