Biblioscape
uses import filters to import references from different
sources. Different information providers use different tag
names for the same data. For example, there are several
formats for the Medline database. You need a different import
filter for each format. Biblioscape comes with an import
filter editor, so that you can create new import filters when
needed. We encourage users to share their import filters with
others by posting them on the Biblioscape User
Forum. If you have difficulty
creating an import filter for a new data source, please contact
us by email. We can make one
for you free of charge.
