Mapping a field from procite to PMCID Field

EndNote EndNote How To
1

I’m trying to convert my procite DB to EndNote to test to see if everything converts correctly so we can upgrade to endnote.  I have a field in procite that I use for my PMCIDs.  I was happy to see that endnote has this field but when I go to field mapping when I’m trying to customize my conversion there is no PMCID field in the drop down list under abstract.  I don’t want this field going to the notes field.  It will be so much more work to put it in the PMCID field later.

Thank you so much

Leanne,

Thank you so much for the quick reply.  This is a big project and I need to investigate how this conversion will fully work and how much time it will take to do.  

What about fields like Author Role which I now is gone but there are 3 fields in procite that have this info?

I still haven’t mapped these procite fields yet can you shed any light on how I should map them:

Medium Designator

Title

Place of Meeting

Edition

Author, Subsidiary

Report Id

Extent of Work

Packaging Method

Size

Reproduction Ration

Series Editor Role

Serives Volume ID

Series Issue ID

Document Type

CODEN

I have an export process in procite that generates a file that I upload using a different process.  I’m trying to map all the fields then try and repllicate that export text file so I can just run it through my other process.  

Thanks again

Leanne,

Thanks again for your help.  I’m sorry but I didn’t understand your explanation fully.  From procite there are 45 fields accross different types.  The only ones that I’m using in procite are Book Chapter, Book Whole, Conference Proceedings,Dissertation, Journal Long Form and Report.   Do I have to define the mapping for each one of these types?

Currently when I export with Procite it puts every field for every row delimited by a comma and a ^ wraping the value.  I was hoping to do the same thing with EndNote.  Is it possible for me to map the 45 fields and then have them exported in the same structure as I have in procite?

A problem i’m seeing is that “Title, Monographic” and “Journal Title” both go to the same EndNote field “Secondary Title”.  Is this a case where these two fields in procite should never be populated at the same time so there should be no conflict?

Thank you for the help.  I know once I figure all of this out that EndNote should be much easier to use it’s just getting to that point.

thanks

Leanne,

Can I email tech support this question?  How long does it take? I have till the end of day today to come up with a way to get procite into EndNote correctly.  We are meeting on Monday to discuss if this is possible or if it is work moving to EndNote.

I didn’t fully understand your question and you explain it?

Thank you

Leanne,

thank you for the information.  One other quick question.  Why do the custom fields mean something different for each reference type?  I have a field in procite that is called Author Role which in EndNote does not exist.  This field exists in Jouranl Long Form and in Book Chapter.  I want both reference to use Custom5 for this field but in Book Chapter Custom 5 is already set for a different field.

This is getting confusing.

Thanks for the help

Leanne,

Thanks again but I still don’t get why are different?  Shouldn’t Custom 5 be the same thing in all the reference types since it’s a custom field?  I just want fields that are coming from the same location to be mapped to the same location in EndNote.

How come when I’m doing an output style I can’t see the custome fields in the list of fields I want to add?

Thanks
