Best solution for exporting to Paperpile?

[kga1978]

Hi,

I'm trying to sync up my BE and Paperpile library nicely so I can write papers in Google Docs. I'd like to export my entire Bookends library and have each reference WITH its pdf attached in Paperpile. Is there a way to achieve that? In the Paperpile documentation they talk about doing a RIS export from Endnote and then import into Paperpile, but I can't find a similar procedure in Bookends.

Thanks

First,
Go to the Biblio menu in BE--> Format manager--> check RIS.

You can also modify it anyway you like.


Then, when you export, File-->Export References (Hits)--> Bibliography Format...-->RIS


PAPERPIle also accepts Bibtex format. You can use that format too. But, I am not sure how PaperPile associates the attachments.

Take a look at this page, there may be something useful there.

Thanks Jon. I think I found the culprit - the current format of RIS in BE doesn't output the attachment information, BUT that can be added in automatically. I did that and now I *think* things are working as expected - if not, then it's on the Paperpile side. Here's what my modified RIS format ended up looking like:

Code: Select all

`TY  - JOUR`
$AU  - $a 
$T1  - $t 
$KW  - $k 
$PY  - $d 
$JA  - $j 
$SP  - $p- 
$VL  - $v 
$IS  - $i
$SN  - $u6 
$AB  - $b 
$N1  - $n 
$UR  - $z 
$L1  - $m
`ER  - `¬

Yes, that's the solution I would use, too.
