Thanks for your help Adam. Yes, that worked, by and large. My apologies
for not finding it in going through the Help docs. Absolutely, the issue
is multivalued fields.
The "by and large" reflects two continuing, but entirely workable, problems:
(1) As a multivalued field, only the first and last items in the list
are bounded by { or }, so {ARISTOTLE shows up separately from ARISTOTLE.
(2) Many references also contain their DOI numbers, which contain
periods and so end up parsed as (multiple) groups. Though I haven't yet
changed the default setting to '. ' to see what effect that has.
There's also the obvious challenge that many references to the same item
end up grouped separately, either due to ISI's sloppy data entry
practices, authors sloppy citation practices, or quite proper citations
of different editions or pages of a work. But those are easily enough met.
Just for future reference, a Cited References field looks like this:
Cited-References = {{{*}DOH, 2001, NHS PERF RAT AC TRUS.
{*}DOH, 2002, NHS PERF RAT INTR.

and is always followed by:
Number-of-Cited-References = {{24}}
It contains the complete bibliography of every article in the ISI
database (the sample is a shorter one!).
I haven't yet tried to do such a search from BibDesk's internal ISI
search feature.
Thanks again,
Chris
