Thanks Andreas. Would I be able to use this way for entries I already added to BibDesk? I have many entries I put in already but they have incomplete citation information (most only contain the title/author but I would like to automatically add the journal or volume, etc.).
I'm wondering if there is a way to easily batch update those entries I already added to BibDesk with citation information automatically found from the internet (such as Google Scholar or Google Books). Thanks!
