converting Procite database to Endnote
Author: Gerben Zaagsma    Posted: Fri, 5 Aug 2005 14:30:44 +0200
Hello, I have a question about importing Procite records in Endnote. I have tried to import a small database into an Endnote demo to see if it works but nothing happens. Endnote help gives the following instructions to import Procite records in Endnote (this refers to the Procite import filter): "Used to import text files that have been exported from ProCite (Macintosh or Windows) in the default comma and quote delimited format. You may also open ProCite files using EndNote's Open command; see Creating a Library from ProCite." I run Procite 5 for Mac under Classic and Endnote under OS 10.4. When exporting the records in Procite in default comma format nothing happens when trying to import the resulting file in Endnote (using the Procite import file as suggested). Opening a Procite file is simply not possible at all. Perhaps anyone can help, am i overlooking something here?

Hi Starting with Endnote - use the file open command and open your ProCite database. I have done this in the past under Windows. You don't have to import the file.

Hi Colleen, Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it is not possible to do this under Mac OS X. The Procite files remain "grey" and i cannot select them.

When opening Windows Procite databases with the Mac version of Procite, one special requirement was to hold down the shift key when using the Open Database command (p. 202, first edition of the Procite for MacIntosh manual). Perhaps this unMac-like routine applies to Endnote for Mac as well. If else fails, perhaps a colleague using Endnote for Windows could convert the Procite file for you and send you the Windows Endnote version. Perhaps that might be opened with more ease.

Gerben, The Endnote documentation is hopelessly inadequate on this issue - I tried to do the same, but failed to achieve any result - I sent my databases to Endnote upport and they kindly did the job for me, but I have no clue how they did it.

Thanks to all who answered my question regarding this issue. In the end i managed by using the Print Bibliography function and use the RIS output style, then import that into Endnote. But Endnote is pretty disappointing in comparison with Procite..
