RIS type mappings are defined in https://bibdesk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bibdesk/trunk/bibdesk/TypeInfo.p list Look for the BibTeXTypesForPubMedTypes entry. > (2) Can (and if so, where can) this be modified in BibDesk preferences?

It looks like s/^CHAP/SER/g would do it. You might also be able to do it after importing, using AppleScript, since the TY field is preserved; you could iterate all of the pubs and change their type if the TY was CHAP (providing AS lets you change BibTeX Type?). -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
