I have a diferent issue with case protection: I write primarily in German where all nouns are capitalized and thus want my bibliography to preserve the original capitalization from my BE library. I've checked the box "Bracket 'don't change case' words" in the preferences (using the update ...

Thanks a lot for this helpful post! I've tried to follow your steps, but unfortunately – although I sorted the entries in my library window according to type,in descending alphabetic order – I don't get a bibtex file sorted by reference types (@article, @incollection etc.) In fact I cannot tell how ...

Is there an easy way to replace all temporary citations included in a document? I previously used the BE temporary citation style {Author, Year, #uniqueID} but now have switched to Pandoc syntax using the BibTeX citekey [@authorYYY]. So I want to change the already existing citations in my document ...

I thought the comment pertained to the latter part of the message (cleaning the fields via Autofill from the internet) but got it now. Thanks

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I've tried it e.g. on a reference, which had "gendev" (gibberish created probably from a key word such as gender) as a city key, after I first pressed Generate BibTeX Key, "Judith Butler" as author and "2004" as year. No matter ho...

It does work if I first empty the key field and then reset with Ref > generate BibTeX key. But that way I would still manually have to go through 1000+ entries to find out which ones have authorYYY and which ones have random keywords separated by semicolons in the key field

That's how i generated them in the first place (and how I am assuming the keywords that some autocomplete from the Internet filters must have pasted into the key field ended up there). Repeating Ref-> Generate BibTeX Key on those flawed existing keys doesn't change them unfortunately

I generated BibTeX keys for an existing library and realized that a lot of the generated keys were flawed as they contained keywords instead of author and year. I am guessing this is because when autocompleting from the internet some references mistakenly imported keywords into the U1 field. Is ther...

My registration code seems to have been deleted with the renewed download of 13.5.1 - so i cannot open Bookends anymore (except in demo mode, and then obviously not access my library anymore). I can't seem to find my registration code either, as i thought BE stores it automatically... This happened ...

This doesn't do the trick, as it only excludes the author name, not the year. So it will still yield : Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (1998., p. 199) instead of : Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199). In t...

I've noticed that when I am introducing an author of a work prior to thei quote in a sentence , such as {^Jones 1998 #123} found "students often had difficulty using APA style {Jones 1998 #123 @199} this will yield a double citation in a sentence of the following kind: Jones (1998) found "...

Thanks for the helpful reply. I have tried this but it doesn't seem to be working as the first name appears in subsequent citations, too (although I have set subsequent occurrences to "Surname only et al", as per settings adjusted according to your picture), when I leave the fold for subse...

When I mention a reference for the first time as an in-text reference, I would like the first name to be inserted, too as this is considered proper style in my field. Is there any way to automize this with BE so I don't have to go through an entire 300+ page text and figure out manually each time wh...

I want to suppress ibid. whenever I place an author in front of the citation using a caret, as "ibid.(x) argues that ..." doesn't make much sense.
However it is not possible to combine = and ^ in the temporary citation. What other way is there to achieve this?

I regularly quote primary sources (so far have been doing this manually), and have considered doing so through Bookends. This material is nothing like any of my other reference material, as there is no author, year or title — just a case/file abbreviation and a line number. An in-text-citation might...
