Uploading references to CiteULike -- problem and solution

Post by aside »

Hi,

I've been collecting some refs which I wanted to share on CiteULike.org for further collaborative work. CiteULike says it accepts Bibtex and RIS formats for mass upload.

I initially tried exporting using the Bibtex format in a plain-text file. CiteULike kept choking on those file with errors such as:

Code: Select all

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.4)
The top-level auxiliary file: /tmp/file3wuboq.aux
The style file: citeulike.bst
Database file #1: file3wuboq.bib
Repeated entry---line 14 of file file3wuboq.bib
: @article{
: ,
I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry
"}" immediately follows an entry type---line 23 of file file3wuboq.bib
: location = {Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA. SPAM-REDACTED@netzero.net
: },
Jon helped me find the solution, which was to upload a RIS-style plain-text file.

Has anyone tried to do the same thing? It would seem as though it's a problem on CiteULike's side...
