Importing and exporting references

Biblioscape can import references from many different sources and formats. You no longer need to type in reference records. The easiest way to build up your reference collection is to capture search results from Web based bibliographic databases. Biblioscape users can search a Web based bibliographic database using the reference Online Search or using the built-in browser. Search results can be captured directly into the reference database with the right import filter.

Biblioscape can import references saved as a text file from a CD-ROM, Email, library catalog, etc. You can build a new import filter if there are no existing ones available. Detailed tutorials are available for importing and exporting files to and from all major competing products. Biblioscape can import references from the following programs: EndNote, Reference Manager, ProCite, Citation, Papyrus, Bibliographica, spreadsheet or database programs, etc. Biblioscape also lets you import records as comma or tab delimited files.

There are several ways to export references. You can export records as plain text file, so you can later import the records into other bibliographic software. You can also use any of the Biblioscape output styles to export records in RTF or HTML format. There are thousands of output styles pre-made in Biblioscape. and users can also create new output styles if the existing ones do not satisfy their needs. The export wizard is available if you need to export references as a delimited file, spreadsheet, or popular database tables.
