I have a word document with citations that were inserted by Reference Manager. I’m not sure what version and I don’t have access to the orginal refman library. I was hoping to convert these to Endnote citations which I could then export to a endnote library.
Basically, I am looking for a way to get these citations easily into my existing Endnote library. I am using Word 2007 and Endnote X2.
Can you export source of references form Refman and import them to Endnote? If you can’t, I guess you are pretty much out of luck…I don’t know how Refman works, but that’s what I thought.
You could import formatted text to Endnote library, and that’s been discussed here and nicely summarized by Leanne:
I don’t know that helps or not in your situation, though.
No I don’t have Refman installed on my computer. I noticed that when I toggled the field codes that the Refman citations looked very similar to those in Endnote. I tried changing a few of the tags (find and replace) such as REFMGR.CITE ->EN.CITE and <Refman> </Refman>-><EndNote></EndNote>. This allowed EndNote to recongnize these citations but the exporting of the travelling library failed. I think there are several other differences in the tags used for the travelling library.
Anyway, I just used HubMed Citation Manager to get references from the bibliography into my EndNote library. Now I just have to go through each citation and add the endote citation and delete the RefMan citation.
Thanks!
