I too have found problems importing Text Files using OVID filters. They
used to work, the one that I used was OVID ONLINE(OVID).CAP but I can
only get this to work with MEDLINE imports these days. We have students
who do not have access to RefMan from their own PC and so cannot use
direct links into RefMan.
I raised this with OVID and AdeptScience - the UK distributor of
Reference Manager (who have been most helpful). Adept provided me with
the following information from Research Soft.
"There are several variations of the OVID data that can be downloaded.
If the user has access to a machine but cannot direct export to
Reference Manager, they can still choose direct export and save the
resulting text file. This works with the OVIDWEB.cap filter.
If the user chooses the Reprint format, then they need to download and
save the text file and choose the OVID REPRINT FJ or AJ filters (Full
Journal/Abbreviated Journal). These files are formatted to handle the
reprint format.
If they select the long tagged version of the data output (where the
word Authors is used instead of AU - ) then they need to use the OVID
ONLINE OVID filter which has the long tags.
OVID's tag formats don't vary much from database to database, what does
vary is the format of the source line. We update source lines as users
complain about the data not parsing correctly. Since most of our issues
surround the Direct export functionality, we haven't made many changes
to the OVID Reprint or OVID Online filters lately. Source lines do vary
from the Reprint and Online Versions and the Direct Export versions from
time to time.
I would recommend that any user that is having to download a file and
then import it, use the OVID Reprint format. It has cleaner tags and is
a bit easier for us to keep track of."

Hello Everyone,
For years I have struggled, with little success, with the importing of
citations from Ovid's PsycInfo database at the U of Montreal. I have
contacted RIS's help desk, the U of Montreal librarians, I have tried to
write my own filters, but to no avail. I find that there are too many
reference types (books, book chapters, articles, dissertations, etc) and
that their formatting is too complicated for me to handle this task.
So I was wondering if any of you may have some filters that work with
this database or some other kind of advice on how you might deal with
this problem.
The Ovid database version as listed on our library website gives the
following information :Copyright (c) 2000-2005 Ovid Technologies, Inc.
Version: rel10.2.0, SourceID 1.11354.1.65".
Thank you very much in advance,
!
