8 <h1>EndNote Export Filter</h1>
10 <h2>Export from JabRef</h2>
12 <p>JabRef can export databases to
13 EndNote-readable files. To use this feature, choose <b>File
14 -> Export</b>, choose the file type <b>Endnote (txt)</b> and
15 then specify the name of the export file.</p>
17 <h2>Import to EndNote</h2>
19 <p>The default EndNote Import filter
20 does not handle multiple authors or editors properly. There are
21 two options to work around this:</p>
24 <li>Use the built-in filter and fix the file later. To open
25 up the file in EndNote, create a new database or open an
26 old database in EndNote. Then select <b>File ->
27 Import</b>, click on <b>Choose File</b>, then highlight the
28 exported file and click <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import
29 Options</b> and select <b>EndNote Import</b>. Click
30 <b>Import</b> to start the import. After import, select
31 <b>Edit-> Change Text</b>. Change <b>Any Field</b> to
32 <b>Author</b>. Enter " and " into the search field (without
33 quotes). enter a return character into the change field
34 (option-return on Mac OS X, ctrl-return on Windows XP).
35 Click <b>Change</b>. Repeat with the <b>Secondary
36 Author</b> field.</li>
38 <li>Install the <i>EndNote Import from JabRef filter</i> in
39 the <i>EndNote Extras</i>. Follow the instructions in
40 <i>Advanced Use</i> below. To open up the file in EndNote,
41 create a new database or open an old database in EndNote.
42 Then select <b>File -> Import</b>, click on <b>Choose
43 File</b>, then highlight the exported file and click
44 <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import Options</b> and select
45 <b>EndNote Import from JabRef</b> (if it does not appear,
46 select Other filters. If it still doesn't appear, it was
47 not correctly installed.) Click <b>Import</b> to start the
53 <p>The EndNote Export filter maps BibTeX entrytypes
54 to EndNote reference types as follows:</p>
56 BibTeX entrytype -> Endnote Reference Type
57 ------------------------------------------
58 misc, other -> Generic
59 unpublished -> Manuscript
60 manual -> Computer Program
61 article -> Journal Article
63 booklet -> Personal Communication
64 inbook,incollection -> Book Section
65 inproceedings -> Conference Proceedings
66 techreport -> Report
67 mastersthesis, phdthesis -> Thesis</pre>
69 <h2>Corporate Authors</h2>
71 <p>By default, the export filter assumes
72 that entries in the author or editor fields in brackets are
73 corporate authors and replaces the brackets with a trailing
74 comma. However, this means that entries that include LaTeX code
75 in brackets will be assumed to be corporate authors and
76 therefore will be improperly formatted.</p>
78 <h2>Advanced Use: Endnote Extras</h2>
80 <h3>Installing the EndNote Import from JabRef filter</h3>
82 <p>The default EndNote Import filter does not properly parse authors.
83 The EndNote Import from JabRef filter does. Additionally, this
84 filter will recognize a field endnotereftype that will override
85 the default mapping. To install the filter, extract the EndNote
86 Extras (<b>Tools -> Unpack EndNote filter set</b>) and
87 unpack the Zip file which is created. Then follow the
88 directions in the file Readme.txt.</p>
90 <h3>Modifying EndNote Reference Types</h3>
92 <p>Several fields used
93 by BibTeX are not part of EndNote's default Reference Types.
94 While import from JabRef and export to JabRef will work fine
95 without modifying reference types, the field names will not
96 display correctly in EndNote (e.g. an entry window will call
97 the pdf field <i>Custom 1</i> instead of <i>pdf</i>.
98 Additionally, these fields cannot be added to new entries in
99 EndNote, since they will not appear in the entry window. To
100 modify the EndNote Reference Types, extract the EndNote Extras
101 and follow the directions in the file readme.txt.</p>
103 <h3>Export to JabRef</h3>
105 <p>EndNote comes with an export style
106 BibTeX. However, this does not support all BibTeX types and
107 fields, and does not support the additional General Fields
108 supported by JabRef (<i>pdf, owner, key,</i> etc.) If you wish
109 to have these fields supported, extract the EndNote Extras
110 (<b>Tools -> Unpack EndNote filter set</b>) and follow the
111 directions in the file readme.txt.</p>
