Re: [Bibdesk-users] what is bibdesk?

Well, then I will be #5 on your list. To me, BD is a great application to administrate and browse my references. But when it comes to writing of manuscripts, which I need to share with a couple of co-authors, I have to use widely accepted commercial software. Unfortunately LaTex is not very popular among my colleagues and partners. Thus, any feature providing integration of BD and Word- editors would be highly appreciated. cheers andreas Some people avoid BD because of the BibTeX/LaTeX association, but I think it's useful as a general purpose reference manager because of the searching/ranking/grouping/filing features, and we shouldn't forget that. I think the UI is better than most of the other tools as well. -- adam -- --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Using autofile with two machines
Well, you got me. I was not aware that on one of the three computers I work with preference settings (see below) were different from the others, which lead to my false statement. sorry andreas Am 12.09.2007 um 11:02 schrieb Christiaan Hofman: > That's not correct.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Using autofile with two machines
Hi Michael, I work on different machines with specific account names as you do. However, I do not encounter your problem. My autofile preference setting are: checkbox "papers folder location" tagged, with an entry into the neighbouring field like "~/BIOSAFE/Literatur" which in my case is the path generated when you select it via the "choose" button. The ~ obviously refers to your local user folder irrespective of the account's name. cheers andreas http://www.ice.mpg.de Am 12.09.2007 um 03:51 schrieb Michael Green: > I have home and work machines.

[Bibdesk-users] Web of science SCI search
Dear list members,
during a recent search for publications from a specific author using
the built-in Web of science SCI search bookmark I got unexpected few
results. Going more into detail, I found that using keywords as well
as author names gives a significantly different number of hits when
entered into the BibDesk web of science SCI search field or directly
into the appropriate field of the Web of Science general search page
("topic" or "author").
Example: "melolontha" (genus name of a scarab beetle) gives 100 hits
with BibDesk, but 173 hits when entered into the "topic" line of the
Web of Science main search page.
Has anybody similar experiences? Any ideas how to be sure that you
really get all the information you want to look at?
Many thanks to the developers for providing the community with such a
great tool as BisDesk is!
andreas
