PubMed URLs

Dear All,

I recently emailed to ask if anyone knew how to put PubMed URLs into
EndNote records that have been imported as a text file from PubMed.

Thank you to Bengt Edhlund, Alicia Livinski (NIH), and to Pascale
Sejournant (INIST) for their suggestions.    Bengt Edhlund's book
"PubMed and EndNote" has details of how to put the URLs back, by
exporting the references and reimporting them, although I have not tried
this.

Here is what you can do, combining information from Alicia and from
Pascale.

Select the references that you want to modify.
Select References -> Change and Move Fields Select Move Fields Change
From to Accession Number, and To to URL Select Replace Entire Field
Click OK

Then, select those references again
Select References -> Change and Move Fields Select Change Fields Change
In to URL Select Insert Before Field's Text Into the box put
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
Untick Include a space after the new text

This constructs a URL that links to that item.

Before doing this, you should know that there is no undo option in
EndNote!

I had worked out how to do this one record at a time, but not to a set
of records all at once.

Thanks to all,





Keith
