format problem from exporting
Author: Gary Tian    Posted: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 08:56:25 +1100
I was suggested by our library not to use filter to connect database for downloading rather go to database to export to my Endnote, but have the following problems: 1.Only ScienceDirect exporting reference close to endnote: they mentioned RIS format (what that mean?), ie. Three author in three lines: 1. Bekaert, Geert 2. Harvey, Campbell R. 3. Lumsdaine, Robin L. 2. Econlit exported as Bekart, Geert Harvey, Campbell R. Lumsdaine Robin L. on the same line 3. ABI Proqeust as in three lines but not in endnote format Greert Bekart Campbell R. Harvey Robin L Lumdaine Also have no year number. Then once I format citation, only the source from ScienceDirect would give me a correct one. I need your advice regarding how to fix that if I do need to use econlit and other database sources, thanks.

Where would this information go? From memory, ProCite does use a publisher field in either the Journal Article or the Journal Long Form workform - another thing for ISI to bear in mind when they release EndNote 7 with all the best features of ProCite and RefMan (in my dreams!).

Did you misunderstand and they meant to use "Connect" rather than downloading the searches and using "filters" to import the information from your databases into Endnote (Two of the ways to go)? I am not familiar with downloading from any of these databases, but the "connect" route works best for me with the databases I use. I don't use Science Direct either, preferring pubmed, but you might need to use the database interface to download for that (since I don't see a connect file for it). My playing with it though, usually yielded weird imported references, with strange things in the year, for example. I think "RIS" is the tagged format usually preferred by Reference Manager, but interpretable by endnote as well. -----Original Message----- From: gary tian I was suggested by our library not to use filter to connect database for downloading rather go to database to export to my Endnote, but have the following problems: 1.Only ScienceDirect exporting reference close to endnote: they mentioned RIS format (what that mean?), ie.

Three author in three lines: > 1. Bekaert, Geert > 2. Harvey, Campbell R. > 3. Lumsdaine, Robin L. As Leanne explained, RIS is a format for producing tagged bibliographic records. It is widely used by databases that support direct export to EndNote. It works well if the database vendor puts some effort into producing their data in the correct format. Direct export from Science Direct used to work quite well, but it is less satisfactory now. If you want to know more about the RIS format, see: http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_intro.asp > 2.

If it is from Ebsco, see the information on our website at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/filters.html#E We advise our users not to use the direct export function with Ebsco databases, because the results are often poor. We advise them to download the records and filter them into EndNote. > 3. ABI Proqeust as in three lines but not in endnote format > Greert Bekart > Campbell R.

The authors are not a problem: EndNote can interpret author names in direct or inverted format. But the missing year is a nuisance. Again, we advise our users to download the records and filter them.

John and Leanne, Thanks for your very helpful solutions to my problems. It does work well, thanking you again; it should save a lot of my time.
