# EndNote Export Filter for JabRef

The EndNote Export Filter for JabRef allows for most of the default

JabRef fields to be imported into the appropriate EndNote fields.

Three extras are supplied here to be manually installed for better

integration:

1. An improved filter (EndNote Import from JabRef.eni) is provided

   since the default EndNote Import filter does not properly parse

   authors or editors.

2. Two export styles from EndNote ("BibTeX Export to JabRef*") are also

   included that support the same fields.

3. Instructions for modifying the EndNote Reference Types by the user

   if the user wishes to have EndNote display the proper field names in

   the entry window or to add JabRef-specific fields to new EndNote

   entries.

The installation of the extra files provided is detailed below. The file

EndNote.tab is provided for reference purposes only; it contains the

mappings from JabRef fields to EndNote/Refer fields.

See end for changes.

## Installation 1: EndNote Import from JabRef filter

### EndNote Import from JabRef.eni:

This file must be placed in your EndNote Filters directory.

On a Mac OS X system, the default directory is

`/Applications/EndNote 7/Filters`.

On a Windows XP system, the default directory is

`C:\Program Files\EndNote\Filters `

Note that for EndNote 8, the directory is called EndNote 8 instead of

EndNote 7 (MacOSX) or EndNote (WinXP)

The default EndNote Import filter is able to import the files from

JabRef, but supports many fewer fields and does not parse authors or

editors correctly.  After installation, you should then open up the

Filter Manager (Edit->Import Filters->Open Filter Manager) and add it

to your Favorites so that it appears directly in the Import dialog.

## Installation 2: Modifying Reference Types

In order to have EndNote display proper field names and to add

JabRef-specific fields to new EndNote entries, follow these steps:

### ENDNOTE 8:

#### RefTypeTable.xml:

On Windows XP, this file should be placed in

`C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\EndNote\`

On Mac OS X,

`~/Library/Application Support/Endnote/`

### ENDNOTE 7:

Unfortunately, you can't use this file and must modify Reference Types

by hand.  Open up Preferences and click on Reference Types, then

Modify Reference Types. The following table lists the field names that

must be added to certain reference types for EndNote to support these

fields. For example, the Publisher field for Journal Article is blank

by default; Type in Publisher in this field.

Generic Name | New Field Name | Ref Types

-- | -- | --

Publisher | Publisher | (Journal Article, Newspaper Article, Magazine Article)

Section | 	Section  | (Book Section)

Type of Work | Type of Work | (Book Section)

Date | 	Date  | (Book, Book Section, Edited Book, Thesis, Computer Program)

Number | Number | (Personal Communication)

Custom 1 | pdf | (All)

Custom 2 | comment | (All)

Custom 3 | entrytype | (All)

Custom 4 | crossref | (All)

Custom 5 | owner | (All)

Custom 6 | key | (All)

(All = Journal Article, Book, Book Section, Manuscript, Edited Book,

Magazine Article, Newspaper Article, Conference Proceedings, Thesis,

Report, Personal Communication, Computer Program, Electronic Source)

## Installation 3: Export to JabRef from EndNote

### BibTeX Export to JabRef.ens, BibTeX Export to JabRef2.ens

These files are required only if you wish to export EndNote entries to

JabRef. They must be placed in your EndNote Styles directory. 

On a Mac OS X system, the default directory is

`Applications/EndNote 7/Styles`.

On a Windows XP system, the default directory is

`C:\Program Files\EndNote\Styles`.

You may then want to open up the Style Manager (Edit->Output

Styles->Open Style Manager) and add it to your Favorites.

To re-export to JabRef, two EndNote Styles are provided. Select a

style (see "Notes" for the problems with each), then select

File->Export. The exported text file is a BibTeX file ready to be read

by JabRef.

Note that if you use EndNote as your primary manager, this export file

will do a better job than the default BibTeX Export. Improvements in

specific mappings are noted below. General improvements include:

All: Maps Custom 1-6 fields to pdf/comment/entrytype/crossref/owner/key

- Includes URL

- Includes EndNoteRefType

- Includes ShortTitle

- Includes ISBN/ISSN where appropriate

### Mapping Endnote -> BibTeX (improvement over default)

- Generic -> misc (correctly maps Publisher->Howpublished)

- Journal Article -> article

- Book -> book (maps Editor,Number of Volumes)

- Book Section -> incollection (maps Section,Date,Type of Work)

- Conference Proceedings -> inproceedings (maps Organization,Edition,Date)

- Report -> techreport (maps City)

- Thesis -> phdthesis (maps City,Date)

- Magazine Article -> article

- Newspaper Article -> article (new)

- Edited Book -> book (maps Number of Volumes)

- Electronic Source -> misc (new)

- Manuscript -> unpublished (new)

- Computer Program -> manual (new)

- Personal Communication -> booklet (new)

Other EndNote Reference Types will be mapped to misc.

## Notes:

The export format implemented is the EndNote Import format, an

extension of the Refer format. It does NOT export in the proprietary

`.enl` format.

Only two JabRef fields are unsupported due to a lack of Custom fields

in EndNote: doi and citeseerurl. Enterprising users should be able to

modify the enclosed files in order to swap out two other fields

(e.g. pdf and owner) instead. Note that EndNote 8 has additional

fields that could be ideal for doi and citeseerurl (part of the reason

why these are excluded here). In particular, Electronic Resource

Number (DOI) and Link to PDF. The latter is actually a URL field, not

a relative field like the pdf field in JabRef, so it would actually be

better for citeseerurl than pdf. Unfortunately, ISI ResearchSoft has

established no new extension of the Refer standard to include these

fields, so any immediate solution would be likely to break later.

This has been tested on Mac OS X 10.3.7 and Windows XP SP2 using

JabRef 1.7 and EndNote 7. It should work on EndNote 8 on either

platform.

BibTeX Export to JabRef munges together some BibTeX types (e.g. if you

exported, then reimported, your .bib file, it would be mapped

inbook/incollection -> Book Section -> incollection). Use BibTeX

Export to JabRef2 instead if you need better mapping - but only if you

are using field Custom 3 (entrytype) to store the BibTeX entrytypes.

BibTeX Export to JabRef2 is ONLY for use if you are re-exporting a

file that was imported from JabRef. This is because it uses Custom 3

(entrytype) to store and output the entrytype rather than guessing

from the EndNote reference type. If this field isn't filled in, it

will export bad BibTeX code. You have been warned.

## Special note on corporate authors:

Endnote doesn't properly output corporate authors. To have Endnote

output corporate authors for use in BibTeX, enter them as

{Central Intelligence Agency},

However, other EndNote styles will then include the brackets.
