I am not sure what you mean by that question. I am looking at my response and I don't see any reference to "my file." I said specifically (quoting myself) -- > > Thanks for the advice.

Yes, I would think so, no? Except, nothing gets imported. My CituULike library is empty. Seems like I am using "unconventional types" except I am not quite sure what convention to apply to the ones that are erroneous as reported by CiteULike. Besides, as you yourself said, CiteULike should import at least the others (I have around 100 entries, and less than 20 show up in the CiteULike's import error log). But, nothing is imported. > > On 09/10/2007, P Kishor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for the advice. I am now trying citeulike as suggested, but not > > very successful at this as well.
