Yes, Science Direct uses the Western (Mac OS Roman) encoding in its downloadable citations. If you tell BibDesk to open it, via the open.. menu command, instead of the double-click or drag and drop methods, you will be able to change the encoding, and then be able to open the citation correctly. You then drag and drop to your main BibDesk library.
Is there any way to be able to change the encoding for open, when using a double-click to open a downloaded .bib file, on an occasional basis, i.e. for all ScienceDirect citations?
