[Bibdesk-users] Wiley InterScience RIS (again)

2007-11-08 Thread Bertolt Meyer
Hi all,

I recently posted regarding troubles I had with importing reference  
from WileyInterscience. You told me that the format they use is RIS  
and that it lacks the TY field (example here: http://tinyurl.com/ 
2z8swy), therefore BibDesk can't import it. I complained to them about  
the missing TY field and below is their final reply. I cannot believe  
their stupidity, they obviously do not understand their own format.  
They insist that their format is 'plain text' and not RIS. Could you  
please confirm back to me once more that Wiley is actually producing  
(corrupt) RIS when they speak of plain text before I go and slap their  
lousy support?

Thanks,
Bertolt


 Wiley InterScience only supports citation export in EndNote and  
 Plain Text format. We do not support Citation Export in .ris format

 As we do not currently support the .ris format for citation export,  
 we do not include the parameters requested by this format.

 Software vendors of citation management software should be able to  
 supply filters to their customers for importing plain text  
 formatted citations (in the format supplied by Wiley InterScience)  
 into their programs. Please contact your software vendor for  
 support regarding this issue.

 BTW, BibDesk does recognize the EndNote format they provide.

It partially reads it if you copy the text and paste it into BibDesk.   
This so-called EndNote format is a bastardized refer format that  
EndNote extended.

I hate to say it, but I agree with Wiley on this one.  Their files  
have a .ris extension when I download them, but their tagged format  
isn't even close to RIS.  It's more like ScienceDirect, if you compare  
the fragments here:

Wiley:

AU: David M. Marx, Diederik A. Stapel
TI: It's all in the timing: measuring emotional reactions to  
stereotype threat before and after taking a test
SO: European Journal of Social Psychology

RIS:

AU  - David M. Marx
AU  - Diederik A. Stapel
T1  - Blah blah
JY  - European Journal of Social Psychology

So they invented yet another tagged text format.  Easy to parse (aside  
from the idiotic separation of authors by comma), but hard to  
recognize next to the other formats we support.
