Yes, but you don't have to add it in Preferences just to show a column. You can type anything in the control that you showed in your screenshot; you're not limited to the drop-down menu choices. > I reported, just because I noticed several downloaded bib files include > “Eid". > If it is very standard like “pages”, it maybe better for Bibdesk to know it > from the beginning. > But, I did not know it is standard or not. > My quick google search says something like: "eid to enter the citation > number, or electronic identifier.

In general, there's no need to add it; BibDesk will allow any field you care to name, so in that sense, it "knows" about all fields The type of mapping you're thinking of matters more in the case of RIS, where we translate some non-standard fields to the nearest BibTeX equivalent. Adding to the list of default fields in Preferences is mainly useful in two cases: 1) you want that field to be added to a type (or all types) by default, in which case it will show up in the editor window 2) the field is not a string, and you want to treat it specially (as a person name or URL, for example, which are displayed differently from a simple string) Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
