[Bibdesk-users] EBSCO changes file structure

I'm currently using BibDesk 1.3.20 (1412) The file structure for citations being downloaded from EBSCO seems to have changed. Below is an example of a citation that will not open correctly. If I remove the first two lines (DP and DB), the file opens in BibDesk correctly. Earlier citations

[Bibdesk-users] Year field has extra data

The citations I've downloaded from EBSCO for the last month or so have extra data at the end of the year field. Some examples: 2007/12// 2008/07//Jul-Sep2008 2003/// That goofs things up with my APA export templates, which typically require only a single year (or range of years) in that

[Bibdesk-users] Optimizing files for quicker response

I have a Bibdesk bibliography file that's getting large - 1.1mb with 315 sources. (Breaking it into smaller files isn't a good option right now.) Since I use the file (and attached PDFs) from several locations, I keep the file (and the auto-filed PDFs) on a WebDAV drive. That works okay,

[Bibdesk-users] APA Citation - error in template

Here's a correction for the APA style full citations template (APACitationTemplate.txt) on the Wiki... In APA Style, the names of the editors (for inbook references) should be listed as In A. B. Smith... (not Smith, A. B.) (See p. 252, #34 in the APA Publication Manual, 5th Edition.)

-Webber, J. R. (1982). (there should be a comma after J. C. in APA style) Any workaround for this? Thanks! -Cloy - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. It's the best place to buy or sell services for just about

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Always open in Skim

Choose one of the files that opens in Preview, choose File = Get Info (Cmd-I), you can select Skim and click the button to Use this application to open all documents like this. (The button may be hidden under Open With.) That might be a solution. -c I've no idea. Perhaps it's a problem with

Re: [Bibdesk-users] BibDesk direction (was: Re: Gremlins in the text)

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Gremlins in the text

Thanks to everyone for their responses. I guess the bigger question is where is BibDesk going? Is the intent to make it a research tool for IT developers and programmers, or is it intended to become an application widely used by all scholars/researchers instead of that other commercial product?

[Bibdesk-users] Gremlins in the text

I raised this issue several months ago, but don't think I made myself clear. A problem I've run into is that if I import a reference with non-plain-text (Unicode?) character (an en-dash, an em-dash, an open or closed quote) in the abstract, it will require a save as in a different file format

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Gremlins in the text

Would it reduce the confusion to just save as UTF-8 by default? As long as TeX conversion is enabled, that should (usually) be fine for TeX users who work with ASCII exclusively. I save my files as UTF-8 just to avoid this problem, since the odd characters are almost exclusively in

[Bibdesk-users] Local File column and formats

Been away from this list for several months for personal reasons... The progress on BibDesk has been remarkable -- thanks to Adam, Christiaan and Michael! I was unable to find these two issues in the list archive, apologies if I've overlooked something 1. I understand the change to the

[Bibdesk-users] Template tags

The template below seems to work reasonably well for generating an APA-like reference list. How do I insert a new line after each item? Everything is run together into a single paragraph. Thanks! -Cloy $publications [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ $fields.Year.parenthesizedStringIfNotEmpty

Adam, Thanks for the response. When I use that template and try to export three records (two journal articles and a technical report), I get this: (() et al., et al., 2006 et al., 2006() et al., () et al., et al., 2003) -Cloy On Oct 21, 2007, at 11:27 AM, Adam M. Goldstein wrote

[Bibdesk-users] APA Bibliography and Macros

I'm running BibDesk 1.3.10 on OS X 10.4.10. Two things I'd like to do with BibDesk. Any assistance would be appreciated. 1. Can someone provide an export template for an APA like bibliography / reference list? Personally, I find APA Style to arbitrary and inconsistent (so I know I'll need
