I have been reading this discussion with great interest. I use Endnote constantly; I use it not only for basic functions such as storing references and inserting citations into written documents, but also to store my research notes and keywords which assist in my literature organisation system. I always try to include article abstracts as well, so searching my database with keywords usually brings up the article I'm hoping to find! I'm most interested in all the other alternatives, but given all the time I've invested in learning Endnote, like Barry Wellman, I'm wondering what it is that alternative software packages can offer that would make them worth changing too. The social networking possibilities is one such feature available in citeulike but not Endnote... It's hard to imagine finding a feature that is so compelling that I would abandon a program that I've managed to integrate so well into my writing practice! For anyone interesting in things Endnote, I also subscribe to the Endnote Interest e-list: http://www.endnote.com/support/en-interest.asp - most technical questions get answered and there is a healthy discussion about bibliographic software in general on the list. cheers monica -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of elw@stderr.org Sent: Thursday, 26 October 2006 1:31 AM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: Re: [Air-l] concerns about new biblio programs: Endnote issue
Endnote 9 appears not to be backwards compatible with Endnote 7. I'd really welcome any suggestions how we overcome this problem: anybody else sorted this out? We had a few goes at exporting from E.9 in various formats.
this has been the case with the past few versions of endnote. you'll need endnote 9. [there is, as far as we've been able to find, no sane route backwards once you've let endnote modify your bib files into a newer version's format....] [endnote 7->8 had the same problem, btw. so does interop between 8 and 9.] --e _______________________________________________ The air-l@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
