Recovery of Hits and Capitaisation of Bibtext files

[BrianK]

I did not backup my hits for my thesis and have accidently reset the whole database (yes its poor) - can I restore the hit settings from a bibtex file which contains hits only. Second question :- I have had to enclose title text in {} to preserve capitalisation through the title -as I understand bibtex ignore this detail. I am using style "acm" and have looked for a variant style that will do this and not suceeded- or is it easier to include and extra pair of {} the title begining and end again manually?

Never rely on the hits list for any kind of permanent storage. It changes all the time. Static groups are what you should use. There is even a shortcut for putting the hits in a new group. When you create a new static group, and there are hits, a popup that gives you the option to "add to Hits" will be enabled. You can also just select the hits in the list and drag them to open space in the group pane to create a new group, or drag them into an existing static group.

You can edit the style to output the extra curly brackets yourself. Assuming you are using the ACM format we distribute, you'd do this (this is the Journal Article Type):

a d. ${$t$}$. j. v, i {(u4 d), ^, }p–. $https://doi.org/$u17`.`

I put the $ (quote) character around the { and } because otherwise Bookends would think they defined a conditional group. This way they are output as punctuation.
