I regularly download papers from a Wiley publishing site, the american
journal of physical anthropology. Recently they have added the ability
to download citations in either an endnote or a text format. I have
modified the endnote and the closest filter for text, a Cochrane-Wiley
filter recently posted on the Ref Man web site, and can make both work
(after a fashion), although the Cochrane-Wiley filter is more easily
modified.
However, on this site authors are listed in the order of "full first
name then middle name initials period then surname" with a comma
separating authors. e.g. AU: Keith Condon, Douglas K. Charles, James M.
Cheverud, Jane E. Buikstra. Although I am able to extract an author
list separated by semi-colons and import it, I can find no way to
reverse the name order to conform to the ref man requirement of
"surname,initial.initial.". The best that I can do is "Keith,Condon;
Douglas,K.Charles; James,M.Cheverud; Jane, E.Buikstra" instead of the
required "Condon,K.; Charles,D.K.; Cheverud,J.E.; Buikstra,J.E." Is
there some function that I am missing within the import filter editor
that will allow me to do this? if not, can anyone please suggest what
can be done.

This problem has been found by quite a few people - and has come up on
the list before. It is supposed to have been fixed by the latest update
(RM11.01) - but as it seems to be an erratic problem I don't know if it
has been fixed!

We never found a work-around - apart from being careful and backing up
regularly. It only seems noticeable in long documents which are being
edited several times. (and generally seems to occur when you have a
deadline and are just doing the last few alterations - or is that just
Murphy's Law in
operation?!?)

Hopefully the revised version of RM will fix it

Best wishes

"Overall, Reference Manager is an excellent citation manager. It is simple enough to be used out of the box and not too intimidating for a new user. Equally, though, it contains enough powerful features and customisation to satisfy advanced users."
Information World Review

"It's highly recommended for anyone needing a powerful reference tool."
