When importing from a literature database which contains multiple indexes, which import filter should I use?
Certain of our literature databases are comprised of multiple index files from many sources. One example is CSA (Cambridge Scientific Abstracts), which offers AGRICOLA, ERIC, Econlit, and PsycInfo, among many others. Another is Thomson’s ISI Web of Knowledge, which includes Science Citation Index, Current Contents Connect, Derwents, and MEDLINE. Each index file uses a different database structure; consequently, EndNote provides separate filters for each one in order to enable you to import the maximum number of data fields possible. If you have collected references from multiple databases, you can experiment with using any of the filters provided by the same vendor but you will lose some of the metadata beyond standard fields such as author, document title, source title, or publication date.
