The EndNote Export Filter for JabRef allows for most of the defaultJabRef fields to be imported into the appropriate EndNote fields.Three extras are supplied here to be manually installed for betterintegration:
- An improved filter (EndNote Import from JabRef.eni) is providedsince the default EndNote Import filter does not properly parseauthors or editors.
- Two export styles from EndNote ('BibTeX Export to JabRef*') are alsoincluded that support the same fields.
- Instructions for modifying the EndNote Reference Types by the userif the user wishes to have EndNote display the proper field names inthe entry window or to add JabRef-specific fields to new EndNoteentries.

The installation of the extra files provided is detailed below. The fileEndNote.tab is provided for reference purposes only; it contains themappings from JabRef fields to EndNote/Refer fields.
See end for changes.
Installation 1: EndNote Import from JabRef filter
EndNote Import from JabRef.eni:
This file must be placed in your EndNote Filters directory.
On a Mac OS X system, the default directory is
/Applications/EndNote 7/Filters
.On a Windows XP system, the default directory is
C:Program FilesEndNoteFilters
Note that for EndNote 8, the directory is called EndNote 8 instead ofEndNote 7 (MacOSX) or EndNote (WinXP)
The default EndNote Import filter is able to import the files fromJabRef, but supports many fewer fields and does not parse authors oreditors correctly. After installation, you should then open up theFilter Manager (Edit->Import Filters->Open Filter Manager) and add itto your Favorites so that it appears directly in the Import dialog.
Installation 2: Modifying Reference Types
In order to have EndNote display proper field names and to addJabRef-specific fields to new EndNote entries, follow these steps:
ENDNOTE 8:
RefTypeTable.xml:
On Windows XP, this file should be placed in
C:Documents and Settings<user>Application DataEndNote
On Mac OS X,
~/Library/Application Support/Endnote/
ENDNOTE 7:
Unfortunately, you can't use this file and must modify Reference Typesby hand. Open up Preferences and click on Reference Types, thenModify Reference Types. The following table lists the field names thatmust be added to certain reference types for EndNote to support thesefields. For example, the Publisher field for Journal Article is blankby default; Type in Publisher in this field.
Generic Name | New Field Name | Ref Types |
---|---|---|
Publisher | Publisher | (Journal Article, Newspaper Article, Magazine Article) |
Section | Section | (Book Section) |
Type of Work | Type of Work | (Book Section) |
Date | Date | (Book, Book Section, Edited Book, Thesis, Computer Program) |
Number | Number | (Personal Communication) |
Custom 1 | (All) | |
Custom 2 | comment | (All) |
Custom 3 | entrytype | (All) |
Custom 4 | crossref | (All) |
Custom 5 | owner | (All) |
Custom 6 | key | (All) |
(All = Journal Article, Book, Book Section, Manuscript, Edited Book,Magazine Article, Newspaper Article, Conference Proceedings, Thesis,Report, Personal Communication, Computer Program, Electronic Source)

Installation 3: Export to JabRef from EndNote
BibTeX Export to JabRef.ens, BibTeX Export to JabRef2.ens
These files are required only if you wish to export EndNote entries toJabRef. They must be placed in your EndNote Styles directory.
On a Mac OS X system, the default directory is
Applications/EndNote 7/Styles
.On a Windows XP system, the default directory is
C:Program FilesEndNoteStyles
.You may then want to open up the Style Manager (Edit->OutputStyles->Open Style Manager) and add it to your Favorites.
To re-export to JabRef, two EndNote Styles are provided. Select astyle (see 'Notes' for the problems with each), then selectFile->Export. The exported text file is a BibTeX file ready to be readby JabRef.
Note that if you use EndNote as your primary manager, this export filewill do a better job than the default BibTeX Export. Improvements inspecific mappings are noted below. General improvements include:
All: Maps Custom 1-6 fields to pdf/comment/entrytype/crossref/owner/key
- Includes URL
- Includes EndNoteRefType
- Includes ShortTitle
- Includes ISBN/ISSN where appropriate
Mapping Endnote -> BibTeX (improvement over default)
- Generic -> misc (correctly maps Publisher->Howpublished)
- Journal Article -> article
- Book -> book (maps Editor,Number of Volumes)
- Book Section -> incollection (maps Section,Date,Type of Work)
- Conference Proceedings -> inproceedings (maps Organization,Edition,Date)
- Report -> techreport (maps City)
- Thesis -> phdthesis (maps City,Date)
- Magazine Article -> article
- Newspaper Article -> article (new)
- Edited Book -> book (maps Number of Volumes)
- Electronic Source -> misc (new)
- Manuscript -> unpublished (new)
- Computer Program -> manual (new)
- Personal Communication -> booklet (new)
![Word Word](http://www.jabref.org/surveys/2015/graphs/Mainspokenlanguage.png)
Other EndNote Reference Types will be mapped to misc.
Notes:
The export format implemented is the EndNote Import format, anextension of the Refer format. It does NOT export in the proprietary
.enl
format.Only two JabRef fields are unsupported due to a lack of Custom fieldsin EndNote: doi and citeseerurl. Enterprising users should be able tomodify the enclosed files in order to swap out two other fields(e.g. pdf and owner) instead. Note that EndNote 8 has additionalfields that could be ideal for doi and citeseerurl (part of the reasonwhy these are excluded here). In particular, Electronic ResourceNumber (DOI) and Link to PDF. The latter is actually a URL field, nota relative field like the pdf field in JabRef, so it would actually bebetter for citeseerurl than pdf. Unfortunately, ISI ResearchSoft hasestablished no new extension of the Refer standard to include thesefields, so any immediate solution would be likely to break later.
This has been tested on Mac OS X 10.3.7 and Windows XP SP2 usingJabRef 1.7 and EndNote 7. It should work on EndNote 8 on eitherplatform.
BibTeX Export to JabRef munges together some BibTeX types (e.g. if youexported, then reimported, your .bib file, it would be mappedinbook/incollection -> Book Section -> incollection). Use BibTeXExport to JabRef2 instead if you need better mapping - but only if youare using field Custom 3 (entrytype) to store the BibTeX entrytypes.
BibTeX Export to JabRef2 is ONLY for use if you are re-exporting afile that was imported from JabRef. This is because it uses Custom 3(entrytype) to store and output the entrytype rather than guessingfrom the EndNote reference type. If this field isn't filled in, itwill export bad BibTeX code. You have been warned.
Special note on corporate authors:
Endnote doesn't properly output corporate authors. To have Endnoteoutput corporate authors for use in BibTeX, enter them as{Central Intelligence Agency},
However, other EndNote styles will then include the brackets.
