About Biblioscape's Import Filters

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 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. We can make one for you free of charge.

To import a import filter, go to "File Define Import Filters..." and click the "Import" button, select the import filter file (*.bif) and click the "OK" button.

To export a import filter, go to "File Define Import Filters...", select the import filter you want to export and click the "Export" button, give a file name (*.bif) and click the "OK" button.

The import filter file (*.bif) is a text file. It can be sent by email or posted on the user forum.
