Question 1: Until now I have been able to import RIS citations from the Geophysical Research Letters ( from the American Geophysical Union's website), website, such as for this paper: http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2009GL039667.shtml. The citations were downloading directly from the web page (from my web browser -- I'm not talking about the internal one here) into my open folder.
I have just now lost the abiltiy to import citations from the AGU site, after trying to create my own filter to correct a date formating problem. I have deleted by new filter and have not altered any of the pre-existing filters, but I still can't restore my ability to get citations from this cite. Any idea what I have done wrong? Several RIS filters are provided. Do I need to turn one of them on somehow (and which one)? Is this what the favorites box does?
Question 2: RIS downloads from the AGU site have dates in the Y1 field of the form 2009/08/25, which Biblioscape is putting in the year field as 1925. I was trying to create a filter specific to the AGU site to correct that (RIS imports from other sites are OK, I think). But I couldn't figure out how to associate the new filter with that particular site. How do I establish that kind of association? (Could't find info on that in the manual.)
---- FOLLOW-UP -------
ALL FIXED: (1) I made another installation of Biblioscape and used the global\... import filter files there to replace the ones in my regular installation. Now I can import from AGU again. (2) I made changes to the several RIS and EndNotes filters one by one, trying both "smart parsing" and "year/mo/day" formats until I found a combination that works for the AGU site. Crossing my fingers that this works OK when I encounter other RIS-only sites.
Thanks,
