( cced to BibDesk users in case any BibDesk + PubMed users want to comment on the choice of journal title field for PubMed imports.)

Yes, I have been looking over them as you worked on this over the last few days. I think the only point of major significance is the choice of default Journal name field. The options are JT and TA: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/mms/medlineelements.html#jt http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/mms/medlineelements.html#ta Here are 2 examples. TA - JAMA JT - JAMA : the journal of the American Medical Association TA - Curr Biol JT - Current biology : CB Until now the PubMed parser has been filling in the Journal title with the TA field and dropping the JT field. Current SVN uses the JT field and keeps the TA field. I think that the best behaviour would be to continue to use the TA field but keep the JT field. This is both to maintain consistency for existing database and because the JT field often contains more than the full title eg in those 2 examples above.
