I’ve had exactly the same problem with EndNote X2, accessing EbscoHost through my institution, Hood College. I checked and downloaded several journal articles from the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, and all of them came into EndNote as “Film”. This is despite the fact that my preferences had the default reference type set to “Journal Article”.
When this happens, is there any way to change all these references to “Journal Article” at once, or must one go through them one by one.
By the way, I remember something similar happening with a previous version of EndNote (X?) downloading all references as “Ancient Text”, and it was fixed with a patch to the version of EndNote that had the problem.
