Hi all, I'm new to BibDesk and BibTex, so my apologies if this is elementary, but I've been through the Help docs, FAQ, wiki, website and list archives and can't seem to find an answer to the following:
I did a Cited References search on Web of Knowledge and downloaded the resultant records, including the Cited References, in BibTex format. These files were then opened in BibDesk and copy-and-pasted into a single file (there are several multiples of 500). I then started working with the results and it became apparent that the Cited References field wasn't parsing properly. BibDesk appears to be splitting items at commas rather than at periods/line breaks. This results in authors, years, volumes, and publications appearing separately in the left-hand pane -- and most authors to appear as the latter part of entries beginning with page numbers! As my goal is to chart the citations to a number of an author's publications over time, I would like to have each Cited Reference properly grouped. Is there something simple I'm neglecting to do? Is there some script I should run? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
