What I meant was that if there are two authors for a document, each using a different database, then the document could have {smith, 1995 #123456} AND {smith, 1995 #994573}. When you build the bibliography, you'll have the smith 1995 reference listed twice.

Why can't you use unique ID in the citation? When you merge databases, Bookends preserves unique ID (unlike EndNote), except in the extremely rare case where there is a collision. unique IDs work but if two authors are working from different databases then they could run into a situation where they...

Seems like I can make bibliographies from multiple authors if 1) I merge all author's databases prior to making the final bibliography, 2) I use cite by content rather than 'author, date, unique ID'. That way, if multiple authors cite 'Smith, 1995' I can resolve the duplication at scan time instead ...

Just change (Smith, 1995) to {Smith, 1995} and it will try to find matching references. If it can't find an exact ...

I would like to make a script to automatically import references from external sources (web of science) by dropping the file on a script or creating a folder action. Apparently bookends does not have direct support for applescript or automator. Is there some other way to accomplish this that I don't...

I too am using Tiger.

Greetings - Some words in the title of a reference have italics style applied to them in bookends (8.1.2). However, when I build the bibliography in MS Word, the words lose their italics style. I also noticed that the view formatted window also does not have the italics style. I'm using the format B...

Yup, that works. Thanks!

Greetings - I'm using the trial version of bookends. So far I like it a lot more than endnote and I'll probably buy it. I have several documents that I started to mark up with endnote, and I wonder if there is any way to convert them to bookends without having to manually reinsert the citations. Is ...
