Ingrid --
you can select the BibTex on a jstor view citations page and drag it to BibDesk - BibDesk will add all the citations. The bottleneck for me isn't BibDesk, it's the three step process to get jstor to show the BibTex (steps 2-4 in your original e-mail). I've sent them comments asking for the option to the view BibTex direct from search results as part of the upcoming jstor redesign -- maybe you could do the same :). 


If you're writing in anthro. (from your sample data below...) you may  
be interested in the rtf template I set up to display / export  
references according to the AAA style guide - here: http://

In this case I was just wondering whether BibDesk could grab raw  
BibTex from
a page when it is presented outright. This could apply to a number  
of sites,

where you can click on a link and get to BibTex text.


Specific JSTOR functionality would be great, of course. Will look  
forward to

future developments.

Thanks,
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid, the web groups feature has specific code for the sites it
supports, not just for any site that returns BibTeX. Currently it
doesn't support JSTOR, but from the looks of things it would be
possible to add it.
Look for it in future versions, development time permitting.

Thanks,

Going on the theory that BibDesk is scraping BibTex from Google  
Scholar, I

tried a JSTOR experiment.

In BibDesk, I ...

1) did a JSTOR search
2) "saved" some citations (JSTOR feature)
3) "viewed citations"
4) chose "View and Save Citations>>BibTex"
5) link didn't load


Thinking that this was only a problem with loading that last link  
(perhaps
javascript or something), I went directly to JSTOR in my browser  
and did the
same thing. I got through to the BibTex view, and then copied  
that URL into
BibDesk to view those BibTex citations. I got to the page this  
way, but
BibDesk apparently couldn't recognize the format. Should it be  
able to? The
text looks like this (I include the headers plus one sample  
citation):
