Author: Dr F K Li    Posted: Mon, 21 Jan 2002 13:39:15 +0800
Hi, Does anyone have this experience that the date of a ".enl" file was printed as a future date. I have this problem repeatedly when some of my ".enl" files are dated as 2003/2004. Of course, I checked the date/time of my computer and it is correct. I have this problem because I worked both in the office and at home. When I try to synchronize files, there is always a problem that my ".enl" files have a future date and cannot be synchronized correctly. Expert opinion appreciated. Felix Li Hong Kong

Dear Tanya This is the outline I use and hand out (I have inserted the text of the document below, attachments aren't allowed to the interest group). I am a scientist who randomly give a talk about once a year at our institute, for anyone who is interested. It closely follows the tutorial in the manual, but reminds me the important things to cover. Really, it is to demonstrate what the program can do and what it is possible to do, not to teach everyone how to do everything (as, unless they have the computers in front of them, they can't really learn how to do it all, what to click, with which mouse button, etc). Even so, this takes at least an hour and it helps to schedule for an hour an a half. I use a computer and project it to a screen. I use my own library and a paper I am working out. I bring a paper, and show them how to down load directly from pubmed and a medical library book collection (like Madison, Wisconsin). Remember that Endnote also has an examples folder which has a mini-library and paper to format. All this is done using a real computer and using the same projection we would use for PowerPoint presentations, which works great. Then I tell them to go back to their computer an figure out how it all really works. Not to be afraid to play, follow this outline which is available on our network, and always save multiple versions, until they are confident. Back up libraries, and documents together. The interactive tutorial is okay, but a real demonstration is better. The help function in endnote (at least on the PC) is also very good and worth pointing out to them.

Hello, everyone. I am a medical reference librarian. I've been learning Endnote 4, a bibliographic software, in order to teach it to medical students, residents, and faculty. I was planning on having the participants go through Endnote's interactive tutorial, which shows some of the basic features, and then illustrate importing citations from Ovid's MEDLINE into a Word document. If you have taught bibliographic software before, can you please post to the list any ideas and tips on publicizing and conducting the class, as well as other areas which you feel are important to cover? If you know of any relevant URLs, I'd appreciate it, too.

We keep subfolders appropriately named on our Lab (L:) drive. In our case everyone has access, but you could restrict the read/write library access, if you wanted to control/protect the database from indiscriminate additions or editing. Additional Notes: In Endnote 4 (current role-out) you need to be in Normal not Page View to unformat references/citations. To Format/Unformat, you cannot have Track Changes on either. I still prefer Endnote 4 to Endnote 5. The CWYW feature can be confusing and it is difficult to find what references don't match. If all authors are using Endnote 5 and have different libraries, there are some advantages, as the entire reference information is imbedded in the document and you can extract the references to place them in to your own library (but not easily). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNFORMAT REFERENCES BEFORE SWITCHING BETWEEN VERSIONS OF ENDNOTE, ESPECIALLY BACK AND FORTH. It is also a good practice to unformat when sharing a paper between authors (at least outside your lab) since you can't be certain that even if they are using endnote word, which versions are being used.

First check the .txt file with SimpleText or another Texteditor (Word) that the citations are really there. If not, the problem is with Ovid (but I assume you have done this already) More likely, the new version of Ovid slightly changed the way how the records are separated. If you still have an old .txt file compare it with a new one again in a text editor and look particularly for differences between the end of one record and the beginning of the next. If you can spot the difference keep it in mind and go to Endnote and select FILE - IMPORT FILTERS - EDIT "<name of your import filter>" (Make sure you select before the correct import filter). In the list of the opening window select "RECORD LAYOUT". Then try to pick the best option which specifically describes the separation between the records (with some options you might have to enter the correct text) If it doesn't work right away try other possiblities. (And keep in mind what has changed between the old and new version and try to implement it in your choice). Okay I am a little bit vague here, but without knowledge of the text file it is hard to tell. Good luck Ulrich P.S. If my assumption is correct, Endnote sees only one record (the first as you say) but not the following, since it could not detect the record separator and thinks everything belongs to the first record. -- ================================================ Ulrich Beutner, Ph.D. Chirurgische Universitätsklinik Abt.: Exp.

If so, what I do is to demonstrate (using a data projector) the basics of installing EndNote, opening an EndNote database and inputting a reference manually and then get the class to do it for themselves. The follow the same procedure for importing references and for producing citations/bibliographies in Word. I normally have an hour and a half to do this and it's a push to get it all done in time. I don't generally mention connection files because the majority of ours don't work due to our system set-up. Also being a Librarian I feel that you can usually perform a far better search using the specialist interfaces on each bibliographic database than you can using the EndNote search interface. The handouts I use cover the information on our Bibliographic Software pages: http://www.le.ac.uk/li/sources/subject3/biblio/intro.html I'm hoping in future to offer two sessions, a basic and an advanced because of the amount of information that can be covered when teaching the software. I only started teaching it last year so we're building up the amount of sessions as we've found there's been a lot of interest in them. The main problems I've had when teaching are technical ones with the set-up of the computers so I would strongly advise you to check that EndNote works okay in the labs you'll be teaching in. (I hasten to add that the problems are with our network set-up rather than with EndNote itself!). For publicising the class I've usually hyped the angle of it allowing you to create bibliographies instantly and the cite while you write feature, as I've found this seems to attract the interest of the students/academics who haven't heard of the software before.

yes and no. You can import all the references into a new library and it will fill in the holes. You cannot manipulate the record numbers yourself, they are hard wired to prevent any future incorrect reference being inserted in error.

Dear Tanya I work at a medical library and Endnote is one of our most popular classes. We always use classrooms with computers so everyone has their own computer. I have made some own materials(in Swedish) which basically follows the headlines like file, edit, references. We teach at a basic level I think. But the most difficult is to not get involved with to much. I always want to show some extra things with the system. They attend my class to learn about the system so they can use it.

You CAN renumber those references BUT if you do - you'll have to reformat any pending documents referring to them or else you'll get an error. Export them into a new .enl data file; delete them from the old file and then re- import them. On 22 Jan 2002 at 18:42, Jonathan Gold wrote: > I have an endnote bibliography in the making.

G'day Tanya I have found through trial and error that a 2 hour hands on session in a lab is plenty to start with. We run classes usually with 2 trainers and anything up to 20 academics and research students, though 5-10 would be ideal. Typical outline is: 1. overview of EndNote and where to get it. We don't practice installing it because it is already on the lab pcs 2. we show them the sample Paleo.enl library to demonstrate the structure of a record, sorting, searching, etc. 3. we get them to create an EndNote library and manually input a few records. This usually leads to discussion about which fields to use, importance of capitalisation, record types and citation styles. 4. next they open an MS Word document (or create one) and practice inserting citations and formatting. (We are usually using EN 4) This leads to more discussion about citation styles and how to find one which suits their needs (Style manager, searching for styles on websites (ours, EndNote's and others), copying to the correct location and activating) 5. depending on the size and interest / energy level of the class we introduce the concept of adding records directly from library databases - filtering, connecting and direct download a la Web of Science. By this stage we've usually run out of time / energy so I demonstrate the options and offer them an advanced class which gives them hands on practice. Many users find this is sufficient to get them started I used to reverse steps 4 and 5, but I now think it is important for my clients to see the possibilities of linking with their word processor early in the session as this is really the whole point of using EndNote. Some people reach information overload early on and they can always pick up the downloading stuff later. As far as publicity goes, I have mainly used email, with links to the Endnote site and our own Endnote site. For a long time I had very little response. Then one day I had 60 replies in 24 hours! I think timing was important here, as the academics had just finished their marking and were starting to think again about their own research. I have also started using this as a way of publicising Web of Science as the 2 are so closely integrated. Many of our Business staff quite reasonably assume that a product called Web of SCIENCE is not for them (are you listening ISI?) cheers John John Terrell Liaison Librarian RMIT Business Library ph. 9925-5694 fax 9925-5685 "john.terrell" http://www.lib.rmit.edu.au/tutorials/endnote

RE: Closing up numbering of references

Thanks to everyone who responded. On second thought, I realize that RE-numbering will NOT work, since we have hardcoded these numbers onto the actual documents in our 'real' library. But the other idea would still be good: is it possible, while creating a NEW reference, to ask EndNote to number it with one of the MISSING numbers?

Abbreviations of journal titles are one of the problems faced by medical researchers when using EndNote. We have a rather lengthy handout on this subject which we use in our training courses. There is an HTML version on our website at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/medical_journal_titles_5.html That handout is designed for EndNote 5 users. If you are using EndNote 4, note that the medical terms list supplied with the Windows version of the software is not complete. The list supplied with the Mac version is complete.

You are going to use the Add-in format (from the endnote menu) or tools format (in word), not the Paper format (endnote) method.

You are reading the information in Chapter 11 of the manual ("Citing References and Generating Bibliographies without the Add-in"). But if you have a recent version of Word, you do not have the option of working without the Add-in. So you need to refer to Chapter 10 ("Citing References and Generating Bibliographies Using Word or Word Perfect"), and specifically the section on "Formatting Master Documents" (p. 206 in the Windows edition of the EndNote 4 manual).

You should have no problem...I use endnote 3.1 with both OS 9 and OS X. Even the most current version of endnote, however, is NOT compatible with the newest Microsoft Office for the mac (OS X native). So, if endnote is important to you and you want to use OS X, don't upgrade your MS Office to the OS X-native offering. Anyone know when endnote will come out with an OS X-native version...and if that will be compatible with the new MS Office X? ------------------------------- Peter A.

I am using OS 9.1 with EN 4.0.1 with no problems so far. The computer is an upgraded PowerMac 7600 running with a G3-400MHz card.

You might experiment with exporting a small portion of your library into Excel, and then importing the Excel file--saved maybe as tab delimited text--back into EndNote. Maybe you'll have the option of specifying a different reference type. You may also be able to eliminate the "book section" and "book" options from your set-up and force EndNote to categorize all listings as journal articles. Of course, play around with this using small, trial files--protect the original library carefully! Good luck. ------------------------------- Peter A.

There seems to be quite a problem. I contacted Endote support and the silverplatter support team of our local silverplatter server on taht point. The last one tried to configure new connection files for me which quit with error messages. In my case journal data and other data (pagenr./year and other) is completely put in the notes field... The endote guy had several questions, wanted to have some log files and now I haven't heard of him for two-three weeks by now, even not though I did ask him last week why I haven't heard of him... I do this workaround: I go to the webbased Interface (WebSpirs) and download hole file (ask me for settings if you need to know) and import it via import filter into endnote which works fine. In between I rename downloaded file to the extension *.doc, so I can work over the items found within Word. As I got many German hits I can easily switch vowels to Umlauts (o to ö) I have already made makros for that to switch all 'fur' to 'für' all 'Munich' to 'München' and so on.

Greg One way to do this might be to select the Output Style 'Endnote export' and export all the references to a text file. Use the 'find & replace all' option of a text editor such as notepad to replace all instances of %0 Book with %0 Journal Article Then import the file into a new library using the 'Endnote import' option. If you had a mixture of books, book sections and journal articles wrongly classified then I think if you deleted all the lines beginning with %0 from the text file Endnote would classify each reference according to the tags present (see p133 of the Endnote 5 manual for PC).

Greg, Use "Change Field" rather than "Change Text". "Reference Type" is listed there. Pull up all the references you want to change and go for it.

Greg, 1) Make a copy of your library (before every major and/or unique operation one should do that) 2) Select output style "endnote export" from the output style manager 3) Select the refs you want to convert 4) Copy FORMATTED (CTRL-K) these refs 5) Paste the selection in a (simple) word processor 6) global change every "%0 Book Section" occasion to "%0 Journal Article" 7) save the file as plain text 8a) delete the original refs from your endnote library 8) import the text file using the Endnote Import filter (NOT the Endnote Libary filter), its a filter that is available under import option by default. This should do, however keep in mind: be careful in case you use the automatic endnote reference numbers for one or other purpose, these will change accordingly.

You may want to look at PocketCites: http://beam.to/woodenbrain It is a nice program that will allow you to convert Endnote libraries into JFile Databases.

(There is a "type of work" field but that does not do it) You could try exporting them (isolated) tagged with the EndNote default tags and then in a text editor of some sort do a search and replace on the reference type field and then reimport them (having deleted the originals). Test it on a copy first! Beware though that this might cause you problems if you have citation links already set up (the ref numbers will be different). You might also want to change your default reference type to Journal, if that's your most common type.

RE: Filing by record number
Author: Wiedemann, Leanne    Posted: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 11:51:11 -0600
I have used endnote since Dos versions (possibly version 1.0, can't remember) I have always use the record number to organize my references. I still use the same library, so there has never been any change to the record numbers. If there were any other way to incrementally increase the number, I suppose I would use it. If worse came to worse, I might export my library with the record numbers and re-import those into a new library, importing the endnote generated library number into another field. I suppose, since you are so worried about this, you could suggest that possibility. tried to use the clever tricks other have used, to make a unique share-able identifier, something like first author-surname, short abbrev of journal-start page number so it looks like smithjbc12567, but I always get confused and forgetful and right now, my paper copies are sorted according to major topic, endnote number. I will stick with the endnote generated record number. Just remember that the caveat is, keep the same library!

The secretary I was with (...I was helping make a cool new STYLE...) had to watch me overcome my panic. I took deep breaths. I had to get my color back. I asked for some tea. I said: "WAIT. Before I go ballistic here and tell you to immediately change all your office procedures -- let me REFRESH myself, with regard to this issue, by Reading The Fabulous Manual --AND-- I'll query my Endnote-interested colleagues across the world about this... And then I'll get back to you... I was right. Don't you agree? Look here... The manual says: "We recommend that you DO NOT rely on EndNote's record numbers as a means of filing or numbering your office reprints, because YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS NUMBER, and it is subject to change under certain conditions (read on). Instead, enter your own unique number into the Label field, or any Custom field, and use that number for your reprints." (I used UPPERCASE here; the manual uses BOLDing...) When I was with the secretary, I talked about how a file might get corrupted and have to be rebuilt, and then all the numbers would be different. She looked at me as if files never get "corrupted." But the computer was (as always...) a MESS. A disaster waiting to happen. Professors, grad-students, secretaries, undergrads -- they all sit down at it and play. I told her that the BOTTOM LINE PROBLEM here is that EndNote won't give us a nice safe permanent automatic sequentially-increasing FIELD WITH A NUMBER IN IT -- and this would be a PIECE OF CAKE in FileMaker or Excel. We'd set up a field so that new records got a number in a field. She said: "We're not going to use Excel for this -- we write PAPERS and we love EndNote -- and I've never heard of FileMaker..." Oh, all right, anyway. You could use ACCESS. You could use most anything, but NOT EndNote. Enough ranting. Here are my two, no THREE, questions: 1) am I right...? The RECORD NUMBER should be ignored by humans. Don't look at it; don't use it; don't depend on it. EndNote should just make it invisible, so the humans wouldn't go down this treacherous path. 2) is there some way to get EndNote to help users assign a safe and unique and permanent number (AUTOMATICALLY, AND INCREASING BY ONE EVERY TIME...) ..? I think there is NOT a feature written into the software to do this. Exceedingly nerdy "tricks" are not going to be particularly welcome. You know -- Download from Medline to EndNote. Export from EndNote to FileMaker or Access or Excel. Assign some numbers to a field. Reimport them into EndNote with a cool new field. Please -- a hyper-nerdy INDIVIDUAL with hardly any social-life might do this, but this is a busy research-office. Some records are typed in. Some records are imported. People coming and going.

I didn't know that this was there. It's the other way round on EndNote 5 for the PC though: Select * References * Change Text * Go to the bottom of the In drop down list and select Reference Type * In the appropriate box type the ref type name exactly as it appears (I tested it by doing it incorrectly!) and for the type you want. It tells you how many match and then does it very quickly. And this causes no problems with the numbering so your citation links will already be fine. Isn't that good news for a Friday?

I've had good luck using PocketCites to export/import from Endnote to JFile on the Palm. It allows me to keep my current libary on the Palm device, and to add to the main library when I'm away from the desktop. To do that I keep a running "temp" file on the Palm, and import it to the master library maintained on the desktop. Very useful. I only wish a means existed to synchronize the databases, saving the hassle of importing and exporting.

Hello, The APA revised its style in August 2001. There are no longer two styles, Submitted and Published, but only one (confirm at APA website http://www.apastyle.org/). You can download the new APA style from Endnote website http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. A comparison of the Electronic Source style for one's Bibliography shows the following differences: Submitted a la APA4 Author. (|Year|, Last Update Date|). Title| (Edition)|, [Type of Medium]|.

Re: Filing by record number
Author: J Virginia Benjamin    Posted: Fri, 1 Feb 2002 16:14:48 EST
Hello, Yes, there are hazards taking the record number as the document filing number, especially in a multi-user environment.... But...if they are willing to key 301 or 2021 or whatever the automatic record # is into an Endnote field (such as Label or Call number or even make a custom field called Filed As...) when they slap the number on the print copy, then the auto Endnote record number serves *only* for the word processing part and the keyed in Label/Call#/Filed As number is the pointer to the paper copy on the shelf or in a cabinet. For any record which one replaces with a "better" citation (keywords/abs which might be lacking from the first entry) care must be taken to copy any unique field information (such as the filing number) into the new record to retain the link to the physical copy. Do you think that's doable in a multi-user environment?...hmm, maybe not.. esp. the swapping duplicate records part... I have recommended Endnote to departments/institutes at UGA to manage their in-house "libraries" of student theses, reprints, old texts, etc....certainly less expensive than purchasing "cataloging" software and is user-friendly to search. Typically there will be only one person importing data for the hard copies. so with caution I think Record numbers can be a prompt for an assigned number to be keyed into an Endnote field for a document on a shelf or in a cabinet..

Author: Duncan Branley    Posted: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 09:22:29 +0000
Dear Joel and Yoav You can do this - see p 181 in the Windows manual for "Creating Term Lists". Terms | Define Lists | Create | give it a name Then you need to link it to the relevant field for whichever libraries you want to: Open a library | Terms | Link Lists | choose library | choose a list to link to a field or fields | OK It's probably better to have a separate publisher list and city of publication list, rather than to put them all into keywords. If you have multiple libraries, you can copy or export terms lists between them. Finally be aware of the special nature of the Journals Term List - described in the manual.

I am still having problems with Endnote 5.02 and Word 98 on both my G4 desktop and G4 powerbook, both of which are running OS9.2 and have tons of RAM. I've reinstalled the upgrade a million times, and also followed the steps below (which, by the way, is inconvenient if one has a highly customized Normal template in Word). I'm working in Word files that have revision tracking turned on and also have embedded comments. Eventually, if the pointer happens to hover over modified text or a comment placeholder, the little yellow window appears, but is blank, and freezes. I have no choice but to force-quit Word.

I had noticed that while Endnote4 demanded that you turn off tracking when you wanted to unformat/reformat the references, Endnote5 no longer made any such demands. I have inactivated cite while you write, and perhaps this is the only option and turn off tracking when you format/unformat/reformat bibliography, if like me, you use track changes? Perhaps, if it is true (and I can see the problem), ISI needs to put back in the window that tells one to turn off tracking when the user asks endnote5 to perform these functions.

Re: One library and exploit Custom Fields vs. multiple libraries
Author: Highway One    Posted: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 21:46:13
I totally agree with Viginia. One big library with several custom fields is the best way to go. One more idea: You can also display one of these custom fields as one of the columns, at the expense of the journal name (for example). This is done via Edit>preferences>Display fields For example, if the custom field is "project", you see immediately the related project for each reference. The added advantage is that you can sort all references by project just by clicking on the button above this column (instead of doing a search). One of my custom fields is "Action", where I see immediately if I have the paper, or if I need to find it, or whether I ordered it via interlibrary loans, or if checked it out and I do not need it, etc. This is the field that I chose to display.

RE: Exporting from or conversion of an EndNote library
Author: Adam Foale    Posted: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 09:16:25 +1100
Thanks Jens, It sort of works... The problem i'm having is that if a field value is blank, it seems to ignore it and its spacer char (such as @ or #) doesn't appear either. So the columns don't line up when you import into excel or Access. If a couple of fields are blank i need the line in the text to be something like Adam#1998####PC808 instead, EndNote gives me...

Jens, solved it! There seems to be a problem with EndNote that if you have the field names hard against the spacer characters, it ignores the spacer character if the field is blank. padding with a space on either side of the spacer character fixes it. like this... Author # Year @ Title # Secondary Author @ Secondary Title # Place Published @ Publisher # if you do this... Author#Year@Title#Secondary Author@Secondary Title#Place Published@Publisher# it doesn't work.

The 'invalid class string' message only occurs if you try to launch EndNote from word when you have never launched EndNote on its own.

You can export to Excel quite easily. * Create an output template with TABs between each field. * Then do a search on the records you want to export. * Select your special output style. * Select all the records, then do control K to "copy as formatted." * Open your spreadsheet and paste into the first cell. * Only wrinkle is if you have hard carriage returns inside your fields, as this will move data over a cell. I use this to keep track of due dates for library books (often my faculty will have over 100 books checked out from various campus libraries). The spreadsheet gives me a bit more flexibility in the sorts, since the EndNote doesn't sort the dates properly. (I use one of my custom fields for DUE DATE).

If you are using version 5 of EndNote, the manual is supplied as an Acrobat file: EndNote5.pdf . You can open this file with Adobe Acrobat Reader and print the pages in question (pp. 292-296). Or photocopy the printed manual. Any changes you have made to your copy of the Ref Types grid will, of course, not be reflected here. If you have the full version of Acrobat you could try to copy the table from the manual to a new document and edit it manually to reflect your changes. But it sure would be nice if the real Ref Types grid could be accessed as table and not just a number of entries in the Windows registry (I don't know how this is on other platforms). For one thing, it would be much easier to copy it between computers, so everybody in a workgroup could read the library files in the same manner. This was possible in older versions of EndNote.

If you Copy the entries in one of the tables that Virginia is pointing to (see below), and then Paste it into MS Excel (or presumably other spreadsheets as well), then the table format will be preserved.

>Does anyone out there have a good mla Bibliography (SP) connection file? The one that came with the program and the one that I downloaded from EndNote website only pulls 4 fields and try as I might I can't figure out how to get it to pull all the relevant bibliographic fields. The SilverPlatter MLA Bibliography database was remastered in December. Some fields were restructured or renamed, so the existing filters and connection files are not working properly. We now have a revised filter available for download from our website at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/filters.html#M And a revised connection file at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/connect.html#M Of course you will have to edit the connection settings of the connection file to insert the address of your local server. When the database was remastered, some of the data was corrupted and many journal titles lost the last letter from the title. The technical support people at SilverPlatter assure me that this will be fixed sometime this month (February), though it will no doubt take a few weeks longer for the revised disks to be produced and mailed to subscribing libraries.

RE: Synchronization
Author: Wiedemann, Leanne    Posted: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 14:40:22 -0600
1. I put new references at home into a small separate library that I can bring with me to work and import them into my main work library. At some point, since you want them to be identical (with respect to record numbers), you have to keep one main copy. I then just carry it home to copy on top of my home library. 2. We use a networked library- have two copies, a read-only (RO protected and multiple users can open it at the same time) and a writable version (1 user open at time) and copy the write version on top of the RO version every night (IT set that part up). Who ever is adding references has to ask the other to close it first (you get a message is the library is already open which prevents two users from updating simultaneously. 3. It doesn't address all your concerns. Do you need to maintain record numbers? if so, I don't see any good way. If not, importing one library into the other with a suitable filter for duplicates, would be the best way I can think of. Duplicates could be saved into a third library (one of the options). Some manual work somewhere is required, but if the correct library is the recipient, you can skew it so that the library with the most corrected references is the recipient and you should end up keeping those copies of the duplicates.

Feldman "mailto:Marsh" Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 7:31 AM To: "endnote-interest" Subject: Synchronization Hi, I have some questions to ask about synchronization and what list participants consider the best ways to deal with these issues: 1. I have EndNote 5 on PC computers both at home and work. Often, when reading email for instance, I add references to my EN library at one place or the other. Eventually I want to merge them. How do you recommend combining two EN libraries that have most references in common but also have differences? Currently, I keep one library in a sub-folder named "Home" and another named "Work." At work I use the Work version, and at home the other. Then, from time to time, I copy the library from one machine, and install it in the appropriate place on the other (e.g., I copy the library in Home, bring it to work, and copy it to Home there). Then I import the references into the appropriate library (e.g., at work, I import from the Home version into the Work version). Does anyone have a better way to accomplish this? 2. I have a graduate assistant who maintains my journal articles. She has a copy of the EN database and updates it accordingly. However, I also need to use the database, and she needs to know if I've added things to it. For instance, I might get a reference via email, download a copy of the article, and add the reference to the database; after I'm done with the article the assistant files it in the proper place and, if the article's not in the database, adds it to the database; she should know that I've already added it, but unless we use the identical library she won't. Has anyone solved this problem of multiple users accessing and updating a single EN library or synchronizing them in a consistent fashion. 3. Initially I had a bibliographic database of around 2,000 items. I made two copies, one for me and one for the graduate assistant. Approximately 300 or so of the references had serious errors (e.g., the authors' name was typed in with "et al." at the end, so that several items have et al. as the first author.) The graduate assistant has gone through her copy of the database and corrected most of the errors. I, on the other hand, have only corrected items when I needed to use them. Furthermore, we have both added new items to the database, so that now it has over 3,000 items. If I import from the corrected database into the partially corrected one and discard duplicates, the old, uncorrected records will stay. If I do things vice versa, the erroneous records will be imported into the corrected database. Can anyone suggest an easy way to create a merged database, with the corrected original records and the new records from both databases? Thanks Marsh Feldman The University of Rhode Island

Marsh, I do not have anything to add to what Leanne wrote, but let me say that the best solution is to always be synchronized between home and office, and this applies not only to EndNote. To do that, I keep EnNote libraries, and other material that I synchronize, in document-only folders (not together with program files). The (Windows) program that I use is FileSync. See http://www.fileware.com/index.htm This is a terrific program that I use for years, together with ZIP disks (100MB). It requires that you have ZIP drives (or a similar storage product) on both computers. The only problem (not serious at the age of fast computers) is that if you add one entry to your library, you need to copy the whole file (with FileSync or in any other method). It would be nice to be able to synchronize references between libraries rather then whole files between folders, but I do not know how to do that. This is also on my wish list for Outlook files (for meetings, contacts etc.) Avi _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Hi John, for backing up you reference fields and also the complete preferences of Endnote (4 or 5), start (on a windows system) the program regedit which opens the registry editor. Then follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ISI ResearchSoft. While marked this key, go to menue file and export the key to a *.regfile. You can import this regfile to any other PC which is running the same system.

Fortunately it's very simple: - References | Select All - References | Change Field - and select the appropriate options You might want to use a different field and not notes for this, depending on how you use notes.

RE: Synchronization
Author: Marshall Feldman    Posted: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 12:28:56 -0500
Hi, Thanks to everyone who answered my question about synchronization. Actually, after seeing the answers I realized I'd asked the wrong question. Like most of you, I also use file synchronization software (either SychronizeIt! or PowerDesk), and in Windows XP there's a new synchronization feature I haven't tried yet. I also use zip disks, although sometimes I synchronize directly over the Internet. There's also a nifty synchronization service called FusionOne that I use for Outlook synchronization, and it allows you to include files in your synchronization. The problem, however, is this. Let's say you're at work, and you add 3 new items to your library. You're not planning on using EN at home, so you don't bring the file home with you. Later that night, at home, your colleague calls and says the funding agency called you have to make changes and resubmit your proposal by tomorrow. So, you modify the proposal and in so doing, realize you have to add 5 new references to your EN library. Now you have a problem that file synchronization won't solve. You need somehow to merge the two EN libraries so that you have 8 new references in total. The method I described, keeping different versions of the two libraries in different folders, Home and Work, synchronizing the parent folder and its children, and then importing from Home to Work when at Work (or vice versa) still seems to me to be the best way to solve the problem of record-level synchronization. Still, it's a kludge. People have paid less attention to the other problem I described. This is a case in which references were entered into the library and then corrected, while another copy of the library has the uncorrected references. Now, importing one library into the other as a means of synchronizing the two still leaves problems. In particular, the discard duplicates feature of EN won't pick up the fact that the corrected references are for the same item as the uncorrected ones. Ideally, what I'd want is to identify the sequence number range for the original references and to have some way to telling EndNote to use the corrected versions of references in that range. Does anyone have any thoughts about the best way to address these two problems? Marsh Feldman URI

RE: Synchronization
Author: Wiedemann, Leanne    Posted: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 14:23:18 -0600
I still say that you should put those 5 new references in a separate library and carry it back to work to put in the work library (which already has the other three). You will have to sort out your document pointing to the correct references, so that they match record numbers in the combined library, or use one of the other clever methods to uniquely identify the references without using record numbers in your document. Remember you can temporarily use two libraries to format a document. For the second question, I really tried in my previous response! but no, I don't know of a way to do what you ask, unless you first extract the corrected references to a new library. But, if you set the duplicate features to match (and this is adjustable in EndNote), say title, volume and pages, but not authors, they will pick up the corrected references as duplicates.

Jen, Instead of emailing them and then saving as a text file, try saving them as a text file first , then emailing them as an attachment. This way you can save them in the correct way - generally with short labels, full citation (i.e all fields - to include abstract), include record numbers and delete search history.

Re: Endnote Filter Problems

Dear Jen It shouldn't make any difference whether you email and save the message as text or save directly. Extraneous data at the top should be ignored on importing. Do (as Roger Carter suggests) ensure that you download as many fields as possible - check the options in the download/email screen. I suspect that your problem is that the import filter you're using ignores the entries in the abstract field. You need to check - it's not that difficult or scarey. Here's a way of doing it simply. (1) Print out at least one, but not too many of the records you've emailed/downloaded and saved in a text file. (2) Start up EndNote and select File | Import Filters | Open Filter Manager... Find the SilverPlatter format you're using and click on Edit. (3) File | Save As - and add -a at the end of the filter name (but before the .enf extension. This is to give you a backup in case you make changes which cause more problems! You'll now be working on this copy. (4) Click on the word Templates in the left hand column. The first entry will be probably be for the Journal Article ref type. (5) Compare the record you printed out with the entries under Tag and Fields - EndNote finds the pattern in the Tag column (including spaces) and then puts the text in the downloaded source for that record in the field mentioned in the left hand side. SilverPlatter often used the tag AB: for abstracts - though this might depend on the source bibliographic database (I don't recognise any of yours alas). (6) If it has {IGNORE} in the field, click in the field, delete the text there and then click on insert field and select Abstract. (7) Close and save the copy and then try importing again. Any further detail you should look at the manual. Since you're at St Andrews you should contact your IT services (or possibly Library). It doesn't look from the website <http://www.st-and.ac.uk/ITS/staff/contacts.html> as though they support EndNote, but they may know of people who can help you locally. Bear in mind that IT services are highly stretched and often under-resourced, so be patient. If they can't help, have a look at the Adept website - they offer training courses in EndNote <http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/custserv/training/courses/endnote.t.phtml>. St Andrews' subscribed database list is extensive - look at it on http://www-library.st-and.ac.uk/External/Journals/databasesquicklist.html It might be worthwhile contact Jean Young too: http://www-library.st-and.ac.uk/External/Journals/remoteaccess.html#Questio ns/Problems? Finally, contact your research office. They should be able to tell you about training programmes for bibliographic software for research students. Hope this helps.

RE: synchronization
Author: Paul Falzer    Posted: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 17:12:37 -0500
Marsh Feldman said: "The problem, however, is this. Let's say you're at work, and you add 3 new items to your library. You're not planning on using EN at home, so you don't bring the file home with you. Later that night, at home, your colleague calls and says the funding agency called you have to make changes and resubmit your proposal by tomorrow. So, you modify the proposal and in so doing, realize you have to add 5 new references to your EN library. Now you have a problem that file synchronization won't solve. You need somehow to merge the two EN libraries so that you have 8 new references in total." There is no simple solution. I'd suggest that you make an entry in a note field, such as a date, to remind you that the five new entries in database B haven't been entered into database A. The 3 new items in A poses a problem only if your main database is B. The moral is, designate one database as your main database and always sync to the main database. If you sync directly from one computer to another, via a network or through ports, you can keep two databases into sync fairly easily. If you are using a ZIP disk as an intermediary, the procedure is more complicated and prone to error, and in this case the "main/auxiliary" distinction is helpful. "People have paid less attention to the other problem I described. This is a case in which references were entered into the library and then corrected, while another copy of the library has the uncorrected references. Now, importing one library into the other as a means of synchronizing the two still leaves problems. In particular, the discard duplicates feature of EN won't pick up the fact that the corrected references are for the same item as the uncorrected ones. Ideally, what I'd want is to identify the sequence number range for the original references and to have some way to telling EndNote to use the corrected versions of references in that range." This problem is easier. Every entry is automatically assigned a number, in sequence. So, suppose that reference number #100 in your main database in uncorrected. The corrected reference is in your auxiliary database. If you copy the corrected reference into the main database, the corrected reference will have a higher number. So, copy in your corrected references (you do not want to discard duplicates), execute the show duplicates command, and delete the duplicate with the lower number. BTW, if keeping straight what gets merged with what turns out to be too much trouble, make your Endnote databse reside only on a ZIP drive. Have Endnote always open the databse that's on your ZIP drive only and don't copy this database to your hard disk, except as backup.

Have you tried using the Tab-delimited EndNote style to export to a .txt file, then using Access to Import a Tab-delimited .txt file to a new table? This ought to give a fairly straight transfer path. If you want to use the relational database properties of Access to store authors in one table, titles etc. in another table, and many-to-many links between them, then the transfer is a task of much greater complexity. You can see the results of one fairly complex implementation of such a transfer at http://www.bu2000.com . Select Publikasjonsliste from the menu on the left, then click on a folder symbol in the blue right-hand frame, then click some more folder and/or document symbols. Individual references will appear in the middle frame (yellow). It actually contains a path back to EndNote again for individual references. (Sorry, Norwegian explanations only at that site!)

I kept changing between them depending on which computer I was using or what else I had going at the same time. Most the references were inserted using the plug-in module in Word 2001 but some were entered via cut and paste from Endnote 4 (in classic) to Word v.X. Once it was all assembled I formatted the bibliography in Word 2001 (obviously). I did have some problems with Endnote during this process:- (i) in about 1/3 of my formatted citations the et al. was not italicised despite being defined that way in the style. I have no idea what caused this problem. I simply fixed it using search and replace. (ii) after printing the final copy I noticed that a few of the citations (three that I saw) had not been formatted, ie they remained temporary citations. These very same citations had formatted correctly when I had printed the final draft a couple days earlier (there was an unformat and reformat in between). The most interesting thing about these citations was that they appeared to be "invisible" to Word, ie doing search for the square brackets (the citation marker) found NOTHING. This suggests there was some form of corruption in the Word document (not all that uncommon, especially with long documents (and no I wasn't using Master Documents)). I don't know if switching between Word 2001 and Word v.X had anything to do with this. Hope that helps, Adrian

I just learned from the list that in order for the cited page numbers to appear in the citation, the Citation Template of the Output Style you are using, needs to include the Cited Pages Field. (It's not actually a library field, only a placeholder for the page numbers you are entering into the Pages field of the Edit Citation dialog box.)

You may very well have found the best solution - to attach both the library and the document to the e-mail message. It does of course have the drawback that if you or your student makes changes to either copy of the library, the two copies get out of sync. Other alternatives: - If you have access to the same folder on a campus server, and you all keep your EndNote libraries in that folder, then EndNote should be able to find them all. Not a good solution because EndNote libraries are not really designed for network use and corruption may result if two users write to the same library. - The travelling library function of EndNote 5 and some word processors should keep the data intact for formatted display. But this is static and you probably wanted more.

Hi Raymond, I am really sorry about your distress. I don't know how to get your page numbers back (unless you have a saved earlier version). However, what I can tell you is how I use the pinpoint page numbers. I just put it outside the parentheses. So my footnote can look like: [Laddie 2000 #154], 67; See also [Goldstein 2001 #456], 832. The numbers 67 and 832 stand for the page numbers of the specific pages I am referring to. Since in this way the pinpoint page numbers are just a regular text (from EN's point of view), they remain there, and you don't have to worry of them being lost. I use this method because I had some troubles, as you have, with Cited pages being lost. I hope other members of the list would be able to explain how the Cited pages should actually be used.

For PCs the program WinZIP is most commonly used, for Macs StuffIt. However, I doubt whether this will be enough to fit it on a disk (unless you are just somewhat above the 1.4 MByte file size). Alternatively, you can use both mentioned programs to compress and split your file in several smaller parts each fitting on a disk. Draw back of this method is, that it is slow (disk access is simply slow) and that you need a program also to decompress the file (on the Mac: StuffIt Expander) unless you make your compressed file selfextracting, which again increases the file size. Both programs are - as far as I remember - available as shareware or as freeware in a "light" version with less functions, thus, it should not cost much to do the compression. Nevertheless, if you have to transfer files larger than 1.4 Mb frequently, get a CD burner and use CDs for the file transfer. CD-Rs are cheap - per MByte much, much cheaper than disks - and the new drives are really fast.

RE: saving a large library to floppy disk

You could copy, say, half of the references to another library and then delete them from the first one. Each of the two files might fit on a floppy disk. However, in most cases this is not a good idea because the record numbers will not stay intact. If this is something you will do more than once, consider using a compression utility such as WinZip (for Windows) or Stuffit (for Windows and Macintosh) or others. These programs utilize patterns in data files to achieve smaller file sizes. If the file is still too large, many of these programs can also split the resulting file in several smaller ones. The file(s) produced by a compression utility must be decompressed (unzipped) again to be useable on the other end. If a compression utility is not installed on your system, you will find many to choose from on shareware servers such as http://www.tucows.com . Select your operating system and take it from there. The same utility (or compatible ones) must be installed on both the originating and the receiving computer.

Any assistance is appreciated, regards, Bob Green ---- There really aren't that many choices. If you convert the library into a zip file, with a program like WinZip, the resulting file will be much smaller than the original (typically 1/3 the size, but your mileage may vary). If you still can't fit it on the floppy, you have a few alternatives. One is to use a Zip drive (not to be confused with a zip file). You can get 100MB drives for about $60 these days if you shop carefully, and 250 MB drives for between $100 and $200. There are other high-capacity solutions, but Zip drives are the most popular. A second solution is to use the Internet. Convert the library into a zip file and email it to yourself. If you use either an IMAP mail server or set your POP defaults to leave the message on the server, you'll be able to access the file via email. Or, you could get a web site (I think you can still get 10MB of storage for free) and just use it for uploading and downloading your library. A 10 MB web site could hold library compressed as a zip file whose original size was about 30 MB. Marsh Feldman University of RI

I am not using Chicago, but something completely different for my own citation rules. If the period bothers you, just take it out of the style. Go to: File, Output Styles, Edit Chicago, and then look for the periods at the end of the citations and just take them off. They are probably at the end of each reference type (ie books, journals, etc). It's fairly easy. Personally, I couldn't do with a style that adds periods after every reference because we put a semicolon between two different references which are in the same footnote. As to using the Cited Pages properly: Hakon recently wrote to this list: "I just learned from the list that in order for the cited page numbers to appear in the citation, the Citation Template of the Output Style you are using, needs to include the Cited Pages Field. (It's not actually a library field, only a placeholder for the page numbers you are entering into the Pages field of the Edit Citation dialog box.) You may need to edit the Citation Template of your Output Style. Alternatively, put the page number(s) in the Suffix field of the Edit Citation dialog box instead of the Pages field of that box."

This would solve the ":" problem but why does Endnotes then use a page number field if it does not key the styles to spew out the page number? It seems ALL styles require you to cite the page number when it is relevant to the citation!!! Is this a rhetorical question? Sorry I learned all this after making notes for an entire conference paper! Could have been worse though, it could have been my dissertation! :)

Warning: the following has little or no reference to EndNote. It concerns the MS Word aspect of a question posed on this list. Infinite pagination sounds like Word document corruption. This is what I would have tried, but no guarantee that it may work or even be relevant in your case: Turn off Fast save and keep it off forever. Copy the contents of the corrupt document, portion by portion, to a new document, saving and testing for corruption each time. If the new file locks up or goes wobbly, then you have copied one portion too much. Start yet another new document and copy to it from the first original everything up to (but not including) the portion that contains the culprit. Then copy the last piece of the original (not including the offending portion). Then retype what is missing in the middle (or you might try copy and paste special unformatted text, but be careful - even the hard returns (paragraph marks) contain a lot of information). Recreate from scratch or copy from original source any figures in the bad portion.

Reed in the On-line manual, pp. 301-346 (the manual version for Macintosh), and set your Citation Template to (Author Year|:*Cited Pages|) where the asterisk "*" means a linking space, called "Link adjacent text" in the Insert Field menu. Hälsningar, Måns

RE: One step forward two backwards
Author:    Posted: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 11:14:51 +0100
Ray, try this in your Citation template: (Author Year|:*Cited.Pages|) except that a)instead of the *, you should put the symbol for Link adjacent text (which you will find towards the top of the list behind the Insert Field button when editing the Citation Template, and b) instead of typing Cited.Pages , you should input the Cited Pages field from the same list (and you may do the same for the fields Author and Year if you wish), and c) if you can't find the | on your keyboard, you may use the symbol for Forced separation, also that available from the same list. The contents of the field Cited Pages will only be output if there is something in it. The "*" tells EndNote to put a nonbraking space between ":" and "Pages Cited", making the output of the whole ":*Pages Cited" conditional on there being something in the Pages field. The final "|" tells EndNote not to consider the final ")" as part of the ":*Pages.Cited" string. Similarly, the first "|" separates the field Year from the string that begins with the colon. But I tend to agree that the Suffix field is better to use, not only because it is simpler, but because it is flexible (you can put anything in there). As I also learned on the list, the only advantage of using the Pages field is that if your style requires a p. or a pp. instead of a : to signal pages, then this can be achieved automatically by using the p.^pp. construct (where the ^ tells EndNote to use p. for a single page reference and to use pp. for a multiple page reference.

Go to: Edit -> Preferences... -> Citations -> Templates If you are using an Author-Year system, change it to: Author Year|,_Cited Pages I have used _ = the hard space (use the "Insert Field" to access the proper one) Obviously other citation systems will have other requirements, but the |,_Cited Pages is essential for the Cited Pages field to work. When you cite a reference in your paper use this format: {Adams, 1988 #1887@23-34} You will need to add the @ and page numbers yourself. If it is an entire work, no need to cite the page numbers or add the @. This will be format to something like (Adams 1988, 23-24). If you prefer a semicolon or colon instead of a comma after the year, edit the Citation Template accordingly. The Page Number field is for the complete run of pages (given in the full bibliography, not the citation itself). The Cited Pages field is just for that. Don't confuse the two. Also, if you used the evil CWYW plug-in and had entered page numbers in the dialogue box, which have subsequently disappeared, they will reappear IF you change the Citations Template to use the Cited Pages field. The info. is there, but Word is just being told by EN to ignore it if you haven't added this field.

This question comes up occasionally on the list and in EndNote classes that I teach. Last fall, Selden Deemer from Emory University described the process you wish to do as attempting to make eggs from an omelet. A bibliography such as you describe has very little inherent structure. Here are the options I know of: 1. The EndNote manual has a section "Creating Structured Text Files that EndNote Can Import" that covers what needs to be done. 2. Cutting and pasting data, reference by reference, from your Word file into EndNote (what ISIResearchSoft trainers suggested to people that have asked that question before in seminars I have witnessed). 3. (my preference) If possible, identify the database, such as Biosis or Web of Science, that might have the largest number of your citations in it. Search for your articles in that database and import as many records as you can, then manual enter the leftover using method #2 above. This has the advantage of giving you records with abstracts, subject terms, etc. and in general a much better quality record than you would have probably been willing to type in by hand.

RE: Endnote Question
Author:    Posted: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 20:12:54 +0200
I think you need to make the two linefeeds (or hard returns) dependent on the Original Publication field. For this you would need an equivalent of Link Adjacent Text, except that it put in a return character instead of a space character as the link. I don't think EndNote has this. A workaround might be to do as follows: 1. Instead of the linefeeds/hard returns/paragraph end characters in the Template, insert a Link Adjacent Text. This will give you the Original Publication output on the same line as the Author Year ... output. 2. In the Template, directly following the LAT sign of point 1 above, insert a character or a character combination that you are not going to use in your paper. For example ¤ or two consecutive euro signs or whatever. This character or charactercombination will signal the coming of the Orig. Publ. data in the bibliography. 3. Once your paper is complete and you have converted all the EndNote-generated fields to plain text, do a search-replace where you search for your ¤ or double euro or whatever and replace with two hard returns or paragraph marks (both are available in Word's search/replace box and most likely in other word processors as well).

Re: keywords
Author: Janna Lawrence    Posted: Wed, 03 Apr 2002 11:45:44 -0600
Keywords in databases are generated in two ways - some are generated automatically by computers (in which case the keywords may not be standardized), while other databases are actually indexed by human beings. These generally use controlled vocabularies - lists of headings, usually updated annually - specific to that database. Examples include MEDLINE, CINAHL (nursing and allied health), PsycINFO, and ERIC (education). Indexers (who are frequently librarians) read the articles that go into these databases and assign headings from the vocabulary that reflect the content of the article. As I said, each of these databases has their own controlled vocabulary. The same article may show up in both MEDLINE and PsycINFO, for example, but will be indexed differently, due to the difference in the emphasis of the database. If you are importing citations from these databases, you can import their subject headings (keywords) into your EndNote library. EndNote then 'builds' a list of keywords for you, which you can use when you are importing citations by hand. Of course, if you are downloading citations from a number of databases, they may use different headings for the same concept. In that case, you'll want to choose the heading that means the most to you, depending on your specialty. Sorry I babbly on so long - I'm a medical librarian and controlled vocabularies and good indexing are very, very important to us!

You may want to insert a section rather than a page break at the end of the numbered list, depending on how the document is structured.

RE: Import references from Word

Cutting and pasting data, reference by reference, from your Word > file into EndNote (what ISIResearchSoft trainers suggested to people > that have asked that question before in seminars I have witnessed). Doing this one by one can be a bit of a bother. I've created a solution which research students here have used which gets round having to create a new reference each time (saving keystrokes) and gets the data into EndNote automatically (importing into the Title field so as to not pollute term lists). It requires some basic layout editing of the Word bibliography (ensuring that there is one clear line between each reference and tagging each one using search and replace). It still requires dragging and dropping the appropriate data within EndNote, but that is easier than doing it from Word to EndNote, I believe. Below are the step-by-step instructions from the training guide I've written. The import format referred to I can send to anyone who wants - though it's a very simple one to create. All I've done is ensured that all references are imported into the Title field of the Journal Article reference type by means of matching the TI% tag (created in step 4 below) in the Templates section of the filter. If you have mainly books, you could change this reference type. You would probably have some reference type tidying to do whatever method you used. The one potential problem with this is that if you have used character formatting (eg Italics for non-English words such as for Latin names of plants) this will be lost. If you were doing this manually, then you could choose to paste the text in with Text Styles from EndNote's Edit menu - though this will preserve all text styling in the orignal Word bibliography causing potential problems with output formats later on. It might be better to reapply the italics more precisely once you've got the references into EndNote. ===== Convert Your Word Processed Bibliography and Use an Import Filter 1. In Word select File | Save As and select MS-DOS Text from the Save AS Type drop down list at the bottom of the Save As window. Ensure you give it a different name - you don't want to overwrite your bibliography. This removes any formatting but will preserve non-English diacritical marks and is required to import successfully. 2. Click on the Show/Hide button (or press Ctrl+*) - you can now see all of the paragraph marks (). You need to ensure that at the end of each reference there are two of these, one on a separate line. This puts a blank line between each reference. There must not be any of these within a reference. You add them by pressing the ENTER key and remove them by simply deleting. 3. When you have done this you now need to 'tag' each reference. At the top of the document remove any headings such as 'Bibliography' etc. 4. Immediately before the first reference type TI% without a space after it. You should then do this for every other reference - but fortunately you don't have to do it manually. In Word press Ctrl+H. In the top box type ^p^p and in the bottom box type ^p^pTI% and click on Replace All. This will do it all for you! (^p is the code for a paragraph mark) 5. Save the file again and close it. 6. In EndNote select File | Import. 7. Click on Choose File and locate the text file you've just created. 8. Click the arrow on the right of the Import Option drop-down box and select Other Filters? 9. Then there choose "gc word processed bibliography" 10. Click on Import and your references will be imported. This method saves you having to create a new reference each time. It is definitely preferable with a large number of references. ===== I hope this is helpful. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this I'd be interested. I think it's the easiest way to get an untamed bibliography into EndNote. I strongly advise people against trying to do huge edits of their Word bibliography and writing import formats - unless they have a predilection for that sort of thing!

RE: creating a Reference List?
Author: J TenHaaf    Posted: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 10:49:34 +0200
Joan, Since Endnote can only work with one output style at the time, I suggest the following steps. Suppose your book is saved as BOOK.doc Create a copy (save as) of your book, BOOK2.doc. Open BOOK2.doc Change the style to an alphabetical one (like APA). 'Format Bibliography' according to the new (alphabetical) style. Select and Copy the complete alphabetical reference list that appears now at the end of BOO2.doc Paste this reference list at the end of BOOK.doc. So final answer is a non-endnote solution but who cares?

Joan Petersilia "petersilia" asks: > numbered footnote listing at the back. Now I want to create a Bibliography > listing all of the publications I have used in the book, alphabetically, I'm following this thread with interest, because I need to do a similar thing. I work on books that use the author/date style with a list of references in each chapter, but also have a master bibliography at the end. There is a lot of duplication in the references among the chapters, and there are a dozen or so chapters per book (each in a different Word file). The first book, I bypassed EN, copied all the biblios into a Word file, sorted them and weeded out the dupes. Not very effective. The second book, I unformatted each chapter, pasted them all into one doc and then ran EN's formatter. I may have stripped out text without any placeholders and any duplicates I came across, to make the file a bit smaller. It made a much better bibliography, but I couldn't do it on my desktop G4 -- had to use my newer laptop (Titatanium), even though both have tons of RAM. I'm now half-way through a third book. I'm not sure what I'll do this time.

RE: Shortened author names
Author:    Posted: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 23:59:21 +0200
You can put shortened author names in a field like Custom 1. However, the problem is to handle first and subsequent citations differently. As far as I can see, this is only available for citations made in footnotes. Even there it would be difficult to achieve what you need, I think. Two alternative workarounds, both equally inelegant (I would go for number 2): 1. Make duplicates of the institutional-authors references in the library, change author name to the short version for the duplicates, refer to the duplicates in all citations except for the first time in the text, and remove the duplicates manually from the finished, unlinked bibliography. 2. Live with the long author citations until completely finished. Unlink, then do a controlled search/replace in your document (search International Monetary Fund, replace IMF, accept or decline instance by instance).

RE: upload from Endnote to Web site
Author:    Posted: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 23:28:47 +0200
One method: Ask EndNote users to use an Output style such as EndNote Export or Refer Export. These Output Styles list one field per line, preceded with a %A tag for author, %T tag for title, etc. Let the user mark the reference to be uploaded and press Ctrl+K. Then change to your revised Web Forms and paste into the large form field you have supplied for this (only one big field). Not pretty, but efficient, and clearly structured. Then submit. On the web server you must have a php script (I see your web site uses php) to parse the input by stripping each tag and putting the rest of each line into the correct fields of your database. This is very similar to the php script you have now for capturing author names to author field, etc, except that it requires some more branching of the code. Make sure the old manual form is available for people without EndNote. Unless you expect ten times as many items as you have today (123), manual quality control should be sufficient. Another method would be to make people send their Export output via mail to you (or entire small .lib files consisting of a single reference or more), and then handle the transfer to the database from your side (essentially using the same method as with the php script, but submitting after the quality control.)

What is the structure of your web database: a) one field for author, one field for title, etc. -- or b) only one field containing the entire formatted reference -- or c) no database? My answer assumed alternative a). If it is c) or b), then copy the reference in question to an empty EndNote library and export that library. Copying formatted: try it. It is the receiving application that determines how to interpret html tags and other formatting information. (By the way, how do you handle html in EndNote? Is there a canned method - apart from dealing with URLs?)

You can amend the PubMed filter so that references which contain a TT field are imported with the Generic reference type and with the TT data in the Title field.. After import, you use the Change Text command to change them to the Journal Article reference type. I've tested this, and it seems to work OK. To edit the filter: *Display the template for the Journal Article reference type *Highlight the whole template and copy it. *Use the drop-down Reference Types menu and select the Generic template (right at the bottom) *Paste the Journal Article template here. *Still in the Generic template, insert a new line into the template: TT - ` ` (Note that there are two spaces between TT and the hyphen. In the second column you just have a space surrounded by the accent grave character.) *Still in the Generic template, go to the TI line and change the second column from Title to Notes *Still in the Generic template, insert a new line: TT - Title *Close the edit window and save the changes when prompted. After import, all the references with a TT field should be imported with the Generic reference type. You must change this to Journal Article: *While the newly imported references are still displayed, select: References>Change Text *In the "In" box, use the drop-down menu to select Reference Type (right at the bottom) *In the "Search for" box, enter: Generic *In the "Change the text to" box, enter: Journal Article *Click on the Change button. And that's it ... It sounds complicated, but editing the filter is the only tricky part. If you are having trouble with that, email me directly and I'll send you the edited filter. And from a purely bibliographical point of view, I agree with you that non-English works should be cited under their original titles.

RE: procite to endnote and display window
Author: Wiedemann, Leanne    Posted: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 11:12:40 -0500
I am not sure I understand your question. Endnote 4 and 5 allow you to specify up to 5 items you want to display in the display list. This is in edit, preferences, Display preferences. I have my showing the "secondary title" - or Journal . But it sounds to me, like some of your displays are empty. I expect that the books with editors are going into a secondary author rather than the author space. This depends of the publication type. if it is an edited book or journal article in Endnote, then the editor goes in the (primary) author field, but if it is a chapter from an edited book, the author of the chapter goes in that field and the editor is in the secondary author field. I do not know how procite and endnote exchange publication type information.

Author: Janet Price    Posted: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 16:36:49 -0400
Leanne, In a conference proceeding reference type, a field comes up in EndNote called Editor. If the conversion from ProCite puts the editor into the Editor field in EndNote, there seems to be no way for that to show up as the "author" in the display window. Edit preferences doesn't include an Editor option. A similar thing seems to happen for book chapters. While we apparently can map the editor field to author in the conversion, it seems to me that we are losing distinctive information if we do this. It also seems that what is displayed is selective, so that in the Author display field, you get the last name of the first author only. Does this help? It's sort of complicated to explain.

I never use PubMed, but I am a little curious why the titles would be translated into English anyhow. Is this generally done in medical writing or hard sciences? In my own field (Egyptology) that would never even be thought of, save possibly giving an English translation following a non-Latin alphabet title (Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, &c.), though not necessarily. Just wondering. Cheers, Troy

While I understand why Word vX is a priority for testing, I do think ISI should be as app-agnostic as is reasonable. Hence, I agree they should open up testing to people who might be using other option (I use Word, but not only Word). Any Cocoa app that deals with text (like the forthcoming Nisus Writer for X) is using the same underlying text engine, and it should be a priority for ISI to have Endnote work properly with it.

EndNote introduced the "manager" concept in EN4, and it requires that connection, filter, and style files reside in their respective folders and nowhere else. As someone who has taught EndNote since V3, I can attest that this is a tremendous improvement over the hierarchical directory structure used prior to EN4, at the cost of some loss of flexibility. ====================================================================== Selden Deemer, Library Systems Administrator PHONE: 404-727-0271 Emory University Libraries FAX: 404-727-0827 Atlanta, Georgia EMAIL: "libssd" ======================================================================

Wow, have I been waiting for someone to say soSÝ Nisus Software are currently working on a new MaxOS X version of what is IMHO the best Mac word processor there is. I have already made a plea to the developers that they build in EndNote communication in the new version. I think it's just a question of a sufficient number of people requesting it. So, go ahead and send your request to the man in charge: Jerzy Lewak "jerzy" If you are not familiar with Nisus check out their Web site http://www.nisus.com and download the demo!

If Endnote could somehow become a "Service" in OS X that would indeed be very good...but it is not that simple. Some Carbon apps can take advantage of Services now but I don't know if Word does at present. They are more easily accessed by Cocoa (such as Nisus are promising). Personally I used Word only for translating badly formatted Word documents that Maclinkplus can't deal with properly. It is a major drawback that Endnote doesn't seem to support any of the other fine (and mediocre) Word processors. But perhaps this should be a feature request direct to ISI... >While I understand why Word vX is a priority for testing, I do think ISI >should be as app-agnostic as is reasonable.

Endnote *really* needs service support, as well as Applescript. Carbon apps will slowly get service support, and as you note, all Cocoa apps get it for free, so that any Cocoa text app would have access to a hypothetical "generate bibiliography" service provided by Endnote.

First, let me say I'm glad ISI sends out these updates for free. Having said that, let me express a bit of exasperation. I downloaded six or eight files, which matched my needs based on the description in the database. I put the downloaded files into a temp dir, preparatory to saving a backup of my existing ones. But the names don't match! For example, one of my new files is uq_mla_bibliography_sp.enz. This is apparently an MLA biblio connection file, but since I already have two MLA biblio connection files, which one does it match: MLA Bibliography (OCLC).enz or MLA Bibliography (SP).enz? Or neither? Likewise for the filter file uq_mla_bibliography_sp.enf. Should I rename this MLA Bibliography (OCLC).enf, MLA Bibliography (SP).enf, or one of several other MLA files I have? Or leave it with its existing name? I suppose I could go back to the place where I downloaded the new files from, and try to figure out what they were. But that shouldn't be necessary, I would think. Were the names changed to protect the guilty? Mike Maxwell "maxwell"

Of course, you don't know which ones are updated unless you examine each one! Alternatively, they suggested going to the ftp site: ftp://ftp.endnote.com then selecting the Pub folder and either PC or Mac to pull up all of the latest "styles" "connection files" or "filters." I guess you could then "select all" and copy them to a folder and then into EndNOte. This is quite a time-consuming proposition.

Re: Subject bibliographies
Author: David Dennis    Posted: Wed, 08 May 2002 06:07:55 -0500
Given the interest in creating subject bibliographies, I believe it appropriate to re-post this message from 19 June 2001. Compliments to Patrick Livingood: his macro works very well! Software to Make Subject Bibliographies One of the features that EndNote lacks is the ability to generate Subject or Keyword Bibliographies. Currently, one or more keywords can be associated with eachb ibliographic entry in EndNote and you can search for all entries in yourb ibliographic database that contains any keyword. However, you are unable to systematically generate a list of all keywords and all of the citations associated with each keyword. After a while, I realized I could finally solve this problem for myself. I wrote some macros in Word that I have been using for a few weeks now. Today I decided to go ahead and tweak them enough to make them available for others. Part of my motivation was seeing that another version of EndNote is out, and they don't appear to be interested in making this a feature of EndNote any time soon. This is very spartan software, but it can get the job done (if a little slowly). In order to download the software and get the instructions to set it up go to http://www.umich.edu/~patrickl/EndNote/EndNoteSBC.html. A few notes: * Unfortunately at the moment the software only works for Windows PCs. I originally wrote the software for myself, and I utilized some DLLs that come with Visual Basic in order to save myself a little effort. So although most of the original code were Word macros that should work equally well on PCs or Macs, a little was PCs pecific. Secondly, I don't own Microsoft's Office for Developers that comes with some of the neat tools for packaging together VBA modules for distribution. So in order to keep the installation from being too Byzantine and to save myself some time, Ip acked the code as a Visual Basic program. I am sure there are other talented programmers out there who can take my source code and make it work for the Macs as well asi mprove it for everyone. Feel free to do so. I may also get to it myself at some point. * As it says in the program notes on the web page, I have not tested this on a wide variety of software configurations or with a large number of citations ork eywords. So there are no guarantees that it will work with your system or with very large citation libraries. * In addition to installing the software, it will be necessary to create and modify an Output Style in EndNote. While this is not too difficult a task, and there are step-by-step instructions on the web page, this is probably not a task to be attempted by real computer novices. Those problems aside, I hope people find this useful. Feel free to email me( ) with comments or questions. I will try and get to them as soon as possible. Finally, if anyone (including ISI reps) knows if ISI has publicly documented how EndNote can work with OLE Automation, let me know. It would sure allow for a much more elegant approach to this problem. patrick ----------------------------------------------------------------------- patrick livingood Phone: 734-764-7274 University of Michigan Fax: 734-763-7783 Museum of Anthropology E-mail: "patrickl" Rm. 4009 Museums Building Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1109 DBD

RE: citing specific page numbers in footnotes and bibliographies.
Author: Wiedemann, Leanne    Posted: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 11:17:13 -0500
The answers below assume you are using MSWord and the Endnote Add-in for word. Okay, I am not an expert at the first question, I rarely use footnotes but... My online help has a another way to achieve what you want, and I duplicate that section here ---------------------------- Often, you will want to include references to specific pages within a document within a citation. EndNote provides two ways to accomplish this: Using a Citation Suffix: If you want to include page ranges in short in-text citations, either in the body of the text or in a word processor footnote or endnote, simply include the page information in a citation suffix, between the record number and the closing citation marker:. For example, a temporary citation like this: [Jones, 1995 #56, pg. 44] will be formatted to this: (Jones, 1995, pg. 44) See: Citation Suffix Copyright © ISI ResearchSoft 2000 ----------------- But I think what you are looking for, for the technique you are following is there, you just need to read some extra things, which aren't easy to follow, but if you edit the style you are using, there are a number of sections to change. MOst of us play around with the first 2-6, but the very last, is Footnotes, which I have never even looked at before. I think this is what you need to work on, if you look at the insert field in this section (templates under Footnotes) and after changing the format citations in footnotes to "with footnote format" you can edit generic to insert field, author, year and then "cited pages" It also seems to allow you to then edit author lists author name, etc. For number 2. If you are using the word addin, you just select the whole thing and move it to where you want it. From then on, when ever you reformate the references, it will put it there, as long as you don't unformat them all first. For number 3, you only have to rename the file after formatting if you remove the endnote field information. routine formatting does not remove the endnote links, so you don't need to rename it. Since I don't have a hard copy of the manual you are quoting, I can't see where this information comes from or is in respect to. (Endnote 5 asks for a new name if you want to remove the fields, which is a good idea if you are submitting an electronic version to a journal/publisher, and has a toolbar item to achieve it easily. In endnote 4 you have to do it manually from Word-and you need to save the manuscript first and then to a new name to preserve the version you might want to go back to, to revise). wow-long answer!

Hello I have 3 problems that I hope somebody can help me with - using EN4. 1. I can't work out what to do/where I'm doing wrong when trying to cite specific page numbers in footnote. The manual says: "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." Then it adds: "The EndNote style used to format the paper must also be configured to use "Cited Pages" in the footnote template." I can't work out how to do this and the page numbers don't print out as is. I assume this means go to the footnote template when I go to edit my output style. But I can't see any reference to configuring "cited pages" in the footnote template. I've tried mucking around with individual templates - books, journals, etc. but no luck. I believe I have entered the references in the footnotes correctly (as per the manual on p. 225/6), but perhaps I'm doing something wrong here. 2. Re. location of formatted bib. When I format the paper, the bibliography gets printed out before my endnotes (footnotes at the back of the paper). I have tried positioning the cursor in different spots, but no change. 3. Re. creating bibliographies, the manual says (on p. 228-9), that EN creates a copy of the paper during the formatting process and so that you can re-format the original document if necessary. EN is supposed to prompt you to name and save the new formatted copy of the paper. That doesn't seem to be happening either. Thanks, Ingrid Ingrid Voorendt Ph: 8563 1004

Although the discussion has focussed on the use of EndNote with non-MS word processors, yesterday I found myself needing to up-date an older paper written in MS WORD using an earlier format (Mac Word 5.1). Since the EndNote citation formats used by the 5.1 add-in were incompatible with those of the later Windows version, the only way to effect the conversion was--of course--to strip out the version-specific reference markers and then--scan the paper with the later version of WORD.

I too have had trouble with this on a Mac. It is a memory allocation problem and easily solved by increasing the memory allocation to Word. Of course, this only works well if you have enough memory to play with. If you have a Mac and don't know how to do this, contact me and I'll tell you how. It may be a similar type of problem on a PC. I know you can increase the memory allocation given to programs on PCs, but it is a while since I've done this and I can't quite remember how. Perhaps someone else on the list would know this?

RE:
Author: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Finne_H=E5kon?=    Posted: Mon, 1 Jul 2002 22:32:23 +0200
I don't know precisely what you mean by authors name flush left and reference justified. Perhaps a hanging indent and justified text for each paragraph? In general, however, I find it better to let Word take care of style elements such as fonts, justification, indents, etc. instead of trying to use EndNote for that. In fact, EndNote is well equipped to distinguish between the formatting of its various fields but ill equipped for formatting at the paragraph level. But it requires a little trick. It seems that when EndNote generates a _new_ bibliography in Word, it does the following: 1. finds the end of the Word document 2. adds an <Enter> 3. generates the bibliography there. This bibliography is then generated with the Word Style current after point 2 above. Most Word Styles copy themselves to the new paragraph when you press <Enter>. Therefore, find (or make) the Word Style you want your bibliography to be in, place an empty paragraph with this Style at the very end of a nearly empty document, and type the text including citations in front of this paragraph. (If you have already started your document: Open a new one as described, and then copy everything except the bibliography from the old document to the beginning of the new document.) You can test this first. In a new Word document, type a small text without citations, and add a final empty paragraph with the Word Style "List Bullet" or some other that is clearly different from the running text. (It is not sufficient to create a bullet; you must use the appropriate Word Style. It should also be a Paragraph Style, not a Character Style, but the majority belong to the former.) There must be nothing in the document after that. Then add some citations in the text and watch the bibliography grow (without CWYW active, you will of course have to force the formatting of the bibliography). Actually, it works this way even if you don't do anything. Then the bibliograpy will usually be created with the "Normal" or "Body text" Word Style (whichever is the (default) Word Style in the final paragraph of your document at the time when the bibliography is first created). There may be some interactions between the Word Style and the Endnote Output Style if the latter has Tabs or some other forms of indents in them. Also note that it may be difficult to change the Word Style and other Word formatting elements of a bibliography once it has been created: EndNote seems to carry some of this information over the next time it reformats the bibliography, even if you try to tweak it. At least I can't see exactly what is happening. Of course, once you have cut the link from the Word Document to the EndNote database in the very last version, you can reformat the bibliography paragraphs like any other paragraphs. -- Håkon "hakon.finne" > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian C.

As far as I know, it is impossible for an EndNote filter to correctly interpret a year if only two digits are supplied. I suggest that you manually correct those references to a four-digit form before importing the references.
