Problem with .ris export from SAGE
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:44 am
Hi all,
for a couple of weeks, importing citations from SAGE based publications has become burdensome, because it looks like they now do not export names in the format
SURNAME, PRENAME
but as
PRENAME SURNAME
Which causes Bookends to import this in a wrong way. (And this makes importing ris from them a bit hassle that requires lots of manual work, especially for people with two pre- or surname etc.) Is this because of a change in the way bookends handles .ris imports or is this because of a change on the side of SAGE. (This does not happen with other publishers, such as Taylor & Francis etc. – .-ris imports from them still work fine).
I have already contacted Sage about this and they have forwarded this to the relevant technical staff, but in case they have any questions I thought I'd put this out here as well…
