Hi,
I am having issues with importing a file (PDF of a paper) into EndNote. After importing the file, it leaves multiple references files (5) with random symbols for the title and author. Also, it saves the reference type as ‘book’. Even after deleting all of the references made here, it still gives me the same output. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
Thank you!
Unfortunately Endnote tries to read the metadata in the PDF, and if that metadata is not correctly defined, the record created will be wrong. I don’t know what you mean by “after deleting all of the references made here, it still gives me the same output.” Can you get the record from the publisher site or an online database or google scholar? Then just drag and drop the PDF “onto” the record afterwards, to attach it.

Hello Leanne,
Thanks for your comment. I was able to get the record from PubMed and it imported correctly! Thanks for your help.
