Hi
I'm citing a lot of web pages, and I'm sure there must be a quick way to grab the main details into a new citation (at least URL, title, retrieval date). Does anyone have any advice please?

Hi I have a library file (database) of all my references, haven't used Bookends for a while, and the file has been up to cloud - Google drive - and back again to my mac. Now I try to open the library file it is grey and not recognised by Bookends, to repair, rebuild or whatever. It seems to be missi...

I'm getting weird problems with citations using the caret ^ to extract the author name from parentheses. It worked fine, but now when I review the citation there is a line break added after the caret. The final text loses the name completely. **Update: Not sure of the cause but this was fixed with a...

For the record, this was a bad format, in case any one else is having the same.

I have a sudden problem with my thesis, which is causing an out of bounds error. Bookends seems to verify the citations ok, asks if I want to generate a bib, but throws an error before formatting citations, and before my WP (Mellel) replaces any citations. I have no idea what I have changed since it...

Thanks everyone:
I looked for Refs > Duplicate before I posted this question, thinking it must be in there somewhere. But I now realise it's new in 9.0.3.

Hi all, I'm new to BE, and academic writing in general. I'm only at the 'capture' stage right now, and intend to build my database as I go. I often want to enter a well-known book or paper, and quickly download a citation for BE import, with a good abstract etc. Usually it takes me way longer to fin...

Ah, I was try to import it RIS, that explains it. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am just evaluating Bookends, and want to see how easy it is to import single citations as downloaded from sites such as Blackwell Synergy. These are the formats offered: Format: EndNote BibTex ProCite Medlars Reference Manager Direct import? Y/N As Blackwell Synergy doesnt offer RIS specifical...
