Export to Papers 3

Post by mnvwvnm »

Hi Jon,
I need help for the next task.
I need to share part of my Bookends library with other research colleagues but some of them work with Papers 3.
I have an old Papers 3 license (until now useless) and thought export my library from BE to Papers and then share it from there.
However, I am interested in exporting the library without the attachments, that is, without the pdf's, just the references.
I tried exporting in XML format (Endnote) - the only one that worked properly - but automatically attached the files, duplicating them to the Papers folder (via the file pathname write on .xml file).
Question: it’s possible export from BE to Papers without the attachment information?
Thanks.

Bookends just includes the attachment name and path, what Papers does with that is up to Papers.

You could export as RIS, it won't include the attachment names. Papers 3 should be able to import that.

Which choice to create a .ris file format?
