I'm sure they can't tell what you have done on your own computer... but the issue would arise when you send in a tex file that shows a bunch of extra URLs when they compile it. Then when you get back the proofs you have to deal with it (if not sooner). So it may not prevent compuscript status but it will be something you have to deal with eventually. Adam has a great suggestion in dropping the .aux file onto the bibdesk window to select the cited entries. This is about the only slow part of creating a secondary paper-specific bib file. Also exporting a minimal bibtex file should do the trick. I'll try to contact someone at APS with ties to the revtex packages. The compuscript guide has the following vague statement: URL’s should be specified using the \url macro. BibTEX will automatically take care of this if the url field is used. So the problem is revtex's style file is telling bibtex to include (and nicely format) URL's whenever the url field is used. The problem comes in the difference of usage for the url field. Most people currently use it as a field for reference and linking whereas the revtex style file was written assuming that if a bibtex entry has a url field then it is a crucial part of the citation and should be printed in the paper. This assumption is true only for citations of web material, and not typically for citations of print (where the journal, vol, and page are sufficient). Adam, thanks for some great tips on bibdesk usage, I find new favorite features every day! -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
