6 <h1>EndNote Export Filter</h1>
8 <h2>Export from JabRef</h2>
10 <p>JabRef can export databases to
11 EndNote-readable files. To use this feature, choose <b>File
12 -> Export</b>, choose the file type <b>Endnote (txt)</b> and
13 then specify the name of the export file.</p>
15 <h2>Import to EndNote</h2>
17 <p>The default EndNote Import filter
18 does not handle multiple authors or editors properly. There are
19 two options to work around this:</p>
22 <li>Use the built-in filter and fix the file later. To open
23 up the file in EndNote, create a new database or open an
24 old database in EndNote. Then select <b>File ->
25 Import</b>, click on <b>Choose File</b>, then highlight the
26 exported file and click <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import
27 Options</b> and select <b>EndNote Import</b>. Click
28 <b>Import</b> to start the import. After import, select
29 <b>Edit-> Change Text</b>. Change <b>Any Field</b> to
30 <b>Author</b>. Enter " and " into the search field (without
31 quotes). enter a return character into the change field
32 (option-return on Mac OS X, ctrl-return on Windows XP).
33 Click <b>Change</b>. Repeat with the <b>Secondary
34 Author</b> field.</li>
36 <li>Install the <i>EndNote Import from JabRef filter</i> in
37 the <i>EndNote Extras</i>. Follow the instructions in
38 <i>Advanced Use</i> below. To open up the file in EndNote,
39 create a new database or open an old database in EndNote.
40 Then select <b>File -> Import</b>, click on <b>Choose
41 File</b>, then highlight the exported file and click
42 <b>Choose</b>. Click on <b>Import Options</b> and select
43 <b>EndNote Import from JabRef</b> (if it does not appear,
44 select Other filters. If it still doesn't appear, it was
45 not correctly installed.) Click <b>Import</b> to start the
51 <p>The EndNote Export filter maps BibTeX entrytypes
52 to EndNote reference types as follows:</p>
54 BibTeX entrytype -> Endnote Reference Type
55 ------------------------------------------
56 misc, other -> Generic
57 unpublished -> Manuscript
58 manual -> Computer Program
59 article -> Journal Article
61 booklet -> Personal Communication
62 inbook,incollection -> Book Section
63 inproceedings -> Conference Proceedings
64 techreport -> Report
65 mastersthesis, phdthesis -> Thesis</pre>
67 <h2>Corporate Authors</h2>
69 <p>By default, the export filter assumes
70 that entries in the author or editor fields in brackets are
71 corporate authors and replaces the brackets with a trailing
72 comma. However, this means that entries that include LaTeX code
73 in brackets will be assumed to be corporate authors and
74 therefore will be improperly formatted.</p>
76 <h2>Advanced Use: Endnote Extras</h2>
78 <h3>Installing the EndNote Import from JabRef filter</h3>
80 <p>The default EndNote Import filter does not properly parse authors.
81 The EndNote Import from JabRef filter does. Additionally, this
82 filter will recognize a field endnotereftype that will override
83 the default mapping. To install the filter, extract the EndNote
84 Extras (<b>Tools -> Unpack EndNote filter set</b>) and
85 unpack the Zip file which is created. Then follow the
86 directions in the file Readme.txt.</p>
88 <h3>Modifying EndNote Reference Types</h3>
90 <p>Several fields used
91 by BibTeX are not part of EndNote's default Reference Types.
92 While import from JabRef and export to JabRef will work fine
93 without modifying reference types, the field names will not
94 display correctly in EndNote (e.g. an entry window will call
95 the pdf field <i>Custom 1</i> instead of <i>pdf</i>.
96 Additionally, these fields cannot be added to new entries in
97 EndNote, since they will not appear in the entry window. To
98 modify the EndNote Reference Types, extract the EndNote Extras
99 and follow the directions in the file readme.txt.</p>
101 <h3>Export to JabRef</h3>
103 <p>EndNote comes with an export style
104 BibTeX. However, this does not support all BibTeX types and
105 fields, and does not support the additional General Fields
106 supported by JabRef (<i>pdf, owner, key,</i> etc.) If you wish
107 to have these fields supported, extract the EndNote Extras
108 (<b>Tools -> Unpack EndNote filter set</b>) and follow the
109 directions in the file readme.txt.</p>
