Here is an example script to add crossers for incollection items to
corresponding book items:
tell application "BibDesk"
tell front document
set thePubs to publications where its type is "incollection"
and its value of field "Crossref" is ""
set theBooks to publications where its type is "book" and its
value of field "Crossref" is ""
repeat with thePub in thePubs
set thePub to contents of thePub
tell thePub
set theBooktitle to value of field "Booktitle"
set thePublisher to value of field "Publisher"
set theYear to value of field "Year"
if theBooktitle is not "" and thePublisher is
not "" and theYear is not "" then
repeat with theBook in theBooks
set theBook to contents of
theBook
if value of field "Booktitle"
of theBook is theBooktitle and ¬
value of field
"Publisher" of theBook is thePublisher and ¬
value of field "Year"
of theBook is theYear then
set value of field
"Crossref" to cite key of theBook
set value of field
"Booktitle" to ""
set value of field
"Publisher" to ""
set value of field
"Year" to ""
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
You may modify the script to handle other types you may want to crossref, but
you’d think of some logic to do that.
