From: Elizabeth Weir "Elizabeth" To: "''" "ris-list" Subject: RE: Synonyms for periodicals Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 11:10:54 +1100 Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Popham, Karyn "mailto:KPopham" Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 3:59 To: "ris-list" Subject: RE: Synonyms for periodicals I have several large databases (~5000 refs) and am wishing to create synonyms so that differing journal titles/abbreviations are recognised as one journal. Eg Br Jnl Ca is the same as British Journal of Cancer - in terms of duplicate checking and retrievals. Does anyone have a moment to spare to let me know how this can be done? Thanks in advance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. The short answer is to download the list that's already been made. Last April, Cindy Gregory posted this: I realize this is probably too late, but for what its worth, there is a periodical synonym dictionary created for Ref Man 8.x that includes only index medicus journals (still may be too large for your needs). It can be downloaded from http://www.researchsoftware.nl/cgi-bin/forum/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro&categ ory=5&BypassCookie=true (which is a bulletin board run by DISC - other helpful RM stuff there) I used it for ours and it works great. The instructions are a bit sketchy, but basically you download their database which is called "synonyms.rmx" -- it is an empty database with the synonyms set up. Then copy your references into it. good luck. sorry if this is too late. Cindy Gregory, PhD Behavioral Health Research Center of the Southwest ..................... The list is the complete list of journals indexed in Medline--I believe as of 1998--and their official _Index Medicus_ abbreviations. Once you've loaded it, use F5 (term manager) to go in and add whatever additional synonyms you need; for instance, Br Jnl Ca is =not= the official NLM abbreviation of the British Journal of Cancer: that's Br J Cancer. Be =very= careful that non-standard abbreviations really do refer to the journal you think they do. There are journal names out there that are amazingly similar, even identical; in the latter case, they are usually published in different countries. Because of the length of the list, you may want to edit it. For instance, I took out all the veterinary journals and those in Chinese and other languages I sincerely doubted would often be used. Cheers, Karyn Popham Trusting you're using RefMan 8.x or 9.x, for which I know this works From: Elizabeth Weir "Elizabeth" To: "''" "ris-list" Subject: RE: Synonyms for periodicals Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 11:11:07 +1100 Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Marinus J.

The interface is somewhat awkward in RM 9, but I think it got better in RM 10 (I haven't received my copy yet). M.

"j.broekman" Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2002 02:36:47 -0500 Subject: RE: <Refman> update functions Sender: "listmaster" Precedence: bulk Reply-To: "ris-list" I agree with what Karyn said below. It's a perhaps unintended consequence of the new coding in RM10. The advantage of the new way is that a manuscript becomes a travveling database, and thus should make it easier to interchange infomation between people working on the same manuscript. BUT, as I pointed out during the beta cycle, it will require some kind of script to read the information from the manuscript into a database (and I am not qualified to write that).

Can someone tell me how I can do that. -therese _________________________________________________________________ >From Beethoven to the Rolling Stones, your favorite music is always playing on MSN Radio Plus.

"\" "j.wirt.112" Subject: Re: How to clean terms from list of terms Sender: "listmaster" Precedence: bulk Reply-To: "ris-list" Hi! Open the RefMan in Read-Write Exclusive mode; open term manager: tools/term manager/activate/keywords; right mouse click on the keyword you want remove, choose: purge. Then the list of terms offer to you alphaberically any keyword that are not any more used in your database :) Marje Tamm Quoting "John.Wirt" " "j.wirt.112" > I have a number of incorrectly entered terms in the my RM11.0 Keywords > dictionary that I would like to clean up and redo. > > I can find them messed up terms using the Term Manager, and use Quick > Retrieval to pull up the record where the offending terms are, but I > cannot figure out how to update the dictrionary. > > Even after I remove the offending terms from the Keyword field of the > record where they were originally entered, they do not disappear from > the Term List of the Term Manager. > > How do I make them disappear? > > John Wirt > >
