importing bibdesk library

Hello,
I tried to import references from a BibDesk .bib file into Bookends. However the year is truncated. So once imported in my bookends library I get "013" for the year of publication rather than "2013". Any ideas as to why that might be?
Many thanks

Please post (or send) an example of what you're trying to import.

I've exported my bidbesk library as .bib file
Code: Select all
%% This BibTeX bibliography file was created using BibDesk.
%% http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/
%% Created for Home at 2017-03-18 09:30:46 +0000
%% Saved with string encoding Unicode (UTF-8)
@book{Reitz2008-fj,
Address = {New York},
Author = {Reitz, E J and Wing, E S},
Edition = {Second},
Keywords = {0\_TO SORT/papers3.ris;1\_Thesis/Chapter 4;1\_Thesis/Chapter 6},
Publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
Series = {Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology},
Title = {Zooarchaeology},
Year = 2008}
@article{Reitz2014-rw,
Author = {Reitz, Elizabeth J},
Journal = {Journal of archaeological science},
Keywords = {Continuity; Resilience; Overfishing; Resource management; Southeastern United States; Georgia Bight; Vertebrate zooarchaeology;0\_TO SORT/papers3.ris},
Month = jan,
Pages = {716--731},
Title = {Continuity and resilience in the central Georgia Bight ({USA}) fishery between 2760 {BC} and {AD} 1580},
Volume = 41,
Year = 2014}
Then in bookends I import using bibtex filter but once imported in Bookends, dates get truncated. If I export Bibdesk to Bookends using RIS then the date is okay but then I loose the bibtex key generated in Bibdesk.

Bookends expects the year to begin with {
So do a search/replace for
Year =
to
Year = {
in the text file and then import.
