7 <h1>EndNote Export Filter</h1>
9 <h2>Export from JabRef</h2>
11 <p>JabRef can export databases to
12 EndNote-readable files. To use this feature, choose <b>File
13 -> Export</b>, choose the file type <b>Endnote (txt)</b> and
14 then specify the name of the export file.</p>
16 <h2>Import to EndNote</h2>
18 <p>The default EndNote Import filter
19 does not handle multiple authors or editors properly. There are
20 two options to work around this:</p>
23 <li>Use the built-in filter and fix the file later. To open
24 up the file in EndNote, create a new database or open an
25 old database in EndNote. Then select <b>File ->
26 Import</b>, click on <b>Choose File</b>, then highlight the
27 exported file and click <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import
28 Options</b> and select <b>EndNote Import</b>. Click
29 <b>Import</b> to start the import. After import, select
30 <b>Edit-> Change Text</b>. Change <b>Any Field</b> to
31 <b>Author</b>. Enter " and " into the search field (without
32 quotes). enter a return character into the change field
33 (option-return on Mac OS X, ctrl-return on Windows XP).
34 Click <b>Change</b>. Repeat with the <b>Secondary
35 Author</b> field.</li>
37 <li>Install the <i>EndNote Import from JabRef filter</i> in
38 the <i>EndNote Extras</i>. Follow the instructions in
39 <i>Advanced Use</i> below. To open up the file in EndNote,
40 create a new database or open an old database in EndNote.
41 Then select <b>File -> Import</b>, click on <b>Choose
42 File</b>, then highlight the exported file and click
43 <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import Options</b> and select
44 <b>EndNote Import from JabRef</b> (if it does not appear,
45 select Other filters. If it still doesn't appear, it was
46 not correctly installed.) Click <b>Import</b> to start the
52 <p>The EndNote Export filter maps BibTeX entrytypes
53 to EndNote reference types as follows:</p>
55 BibTeX entrytype -> EndNote Reference Type
56 ------------------------------------------
57 misc, other -> Generic
58 unpublished -> Manuscript
59 manual -> Computer Program
60 article -> Journal Article
62 booklet -> Personal Communication
63 inbook,incollection -> Book Section
64 inproceedings -> Conference Proceedings
65 techreport -> Report
66 mastersthesis, phdthesis -> Thesis</pre>
68 <h2>Corporate Authors</h2>
70 <p>By default, the export filter assumes
71 that entries in the author or editor fields in brackets are
72 corporate authors and replaces the brackets with a trailing
73 comma. However, this means that entries that include LaTeX code
74 in brackets will be assumed to be corporate authors and
75 therefore will be improperly formatted.</p>
77 <h2>Advanced Use: EndNote Extras</h2>
79 For better interoperability between EndNote and JabRef, download the
80 EndNote filter set from the Resources page of JabRef's web page.
